2. Using Quick-Connect Nozzles
The pressure washer includes four quick-connect nozzles, each designed for specific cleaning tasks:
- 0° (Red): Pin-point jet for intense cleaning of small, stubborn areas. Use with extreme caution.

- 25° (Green): Medium spray for general cleaning of various surfaces.
- 40° (White): Wide spray for gentle cleaning and rinsing.

3. Using the Foam Cannon
- Fill the 16.9 oz foam tank with a pressure washer-safe detergent.
- Attach the foam cannon to the spray gun.
- Squeeze the trigger to apply a rich foam to the cleaning surface.
- After applying soap, remove the foam cannon and attach a rinsing nozzle (e.g., 25° or 40°) to rinse the surface thoroughly.
4. Total Stop System (TSS)
The Total Stop System automatically shuts off the pump when the trigger is not engaged, saving energy and prolonging pump life. The pump restarts when the trigger is squeezed again.
