- Adjustable Spray Nozzle (Fan to Pencil): This nozzle allows you to adjust the spray pattern from a wide fan for general cleaning to a concentrated pencil jet for stubborn dirt. Rotate the nozzle head to change the pattern.
- Rotary Nozzle (Turbo Nozzle): This nozzle provides a powerful, rotating jet that combines the impact of a solid stream with the coverage of a fan spray. It is ideal for heavily ingrained dirt, such as removing moss from floors and walls.
5.2. Detergent Application
For enhanced cleaning, you can use the included detergent bottle:
- Fill the detergent bottle with appropriate pressure washer detergent.
- Attach the detergent bottle to the spray gun as indicated in the product overview.
