6. Operating Instructions
Learn how to effectively use your pressure washer for various cleaning tasks.
- Starting the Unit: Turn the main power switch to the "ON" position. The Total Stop System (TSS) will engage, meaning the pump will only run when the trigger is pressed.

- 0° Nozzle (Red): For pinpoint cleaning and tough stains. Use with extreme caution.
- 15° Nozzle (Yellow): For intense cleaning of hard surfaces.
- 40° Nozzle (White/Grey): For gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces.
- Turbo Nozzle (Black): Provides a rotating jet for maximum cleaning power on stubborn grime.
