5.2 Using Nozzles and Cleaning Techniques

The pressure washer comes with four quick-connect nozzles, each designed for specific tasks:

• 0° (Red): Pin-point jet for intense spot cleaning and stubborn stains. Use with extreme caution.
• 25° (Green): Fan spray for general cleaning of most surfaces.
• 40° (White): Wide fan spray for delicate surfaces like vehicles, windows, and painted surfaces.
• Soap (Black): Low-pressure spray for applying detergent.

To change nozzles, pull back the collar on the spray gun wand, insert the desired nozzle, and release the collar to lock it in place. Always turn off the engine and release pressure before changing nozzles.
