- Stop Operation: Release the trigger to stop the water flow. For extended breaks or when finished, turn the ON/OFF switch to "OFF" and unplug the unit.
- Relieve Pressure: After turning off the unit and before disconnecting hoses, squeeze the spray gun trigger to release any remaining pressure in the system.
6. Nozzle Usage
The DGIVOVO Pressure Washer includes four quick-connect nozzles, each designed for specific cleaning applications:
| Nozzle Color/Angle | Application | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Red (0°) | Cracks and Stubborn Stains | Provides a concentrated, pinpoint stream for tough, localized dirt and grime. Use with extreme caution. |
| Yellow (15°) | Driveways and Hard Surfaces | A narrow, powerful spray for intense cleaning of hard, non-delicate surfaces. |
| Green (25°) | Decks and Wooden Surfaces | A wider spray for general cleaning of most surfaces, including wood, siding, and fences. |
| White (40°) | Vehicles and Windows | The widest and gentlest spray, ideal for delicate surfaces, rinsing, and applying soap. |

7. Foam Cannon Usage
The included foam cannon allows for efficient application of detergent or soap, enhancing cleaning effectiveness, especially for vehicles.
- Fill the Foam Cannon: Unscrew the bottle from the foam cannon attachment. Fill the bottle with an appropriate pressure washer detergent or car wash soap, diluted according to the soap manufacturer's instructions.
- Attach to Spray Gun: Securely attach the filled foam cannon to the end of the spray gun, similar to how you would attach a nozzle.
- Apply Soap: Turn on the pressure washer and spray the desired surface. The foam cannon will mix the soap with the high-pressure water, creating a thick foam.
- Rinse: After applying soap and allowing it to dwell (if recommended by soap manufacturer), remove the foam cannon and attach a rinsing nozzle (e.g., 40° white nozzle) to rinse the surface thoroughly.

- Squeeze the trigger to release residual pressure.
- Disconnect hoses and drain any remaining water from the pump and hoses.
- Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.
- Nozzle Cleaning: If nozzles become clogged, use a small pin or wire to clear the opening. Rinse thoroughly.
- Water Inlet Filter: Periodically check and clean the water inlet filter to prevent debris from entering the pump.
- Storage: Store the pressure washer in a dry, frost-free area. If storing in freezing temperatures, use a pump protector or antifreeze solution to prevent damage.
