2. Begin Cleaning: Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to start the water flow and activate the motor. Release the trigger to stop the water flow and the motor.

   • Attach the foam bottle to the spray gun.
   • Squeeze the trigger to apply detergent.
   • After applying detergent, remove the foam bottle and reattach a spray nozzle to rinse the surface.
5. Optimal Cleaning Distance: Hold the spray wand at an appropriate distance from the surface to be cleaned. Start further away and move closer if more pressure is needed, being careful not to damage the surface.
