- Using the Spray Gun and Nozzles:
- Select the appropriate quick-connect nozzle for your cleaning task.
- 0° (Red): Intense, pinpoint stream for stubborn stains. Use with extreme caution.
- 15° (Yellow): High-pressure, narrow spray for heavy-duty cleaning.
- 25° (Green): Medium-pressure, wider spray for general cleaning.
- 40° (White): Low-pressure, wide spray for gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces.
