5.2. Using Spray Nozzles and Attachments

Your pressure washer comes with various attachments for different cleaning tasks:

• Narrow to Wide Spray Nozzle: This adjustable nozzle allows you to change the spray pattern from a concentrated stream for tough spots to a wider fan for general cleaning. Rotate the nozzle head to adjust.
• Turbo Lance with Orbital Spray: Provides a powerful, oscillating stream for aggressive cleaning of stubborn dirt and grime on hard surfaces like concrete.
• Turbine Driven Rotary Cleaning Brush: Ideal for scrubbing surfaces with less risk of damage, such as vehicle exteriors or delicate patio furniture.

To change attachments, ensure the pressure washer is off and the trigger is released to relieve pressure. Twist and pull the current attachment off the wand, then push and twist the desired attachment into place until it clicks securely.

5.3. Utilisation de détergent

1. Fill the removable detergent tank with a pressure washer-safe detergent. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
2. Ensure the detergent tank is securely attached to the unit.
3. For detergent application, typically a low-pressure nozzle or a specific detergent application setting on the adjustable nozzle is required. Refer to the nozzle instructions for specific detergent application modes.
4. Apply detergent to the surface, allowing it to soak for a few minutes (refer to detergent instructions), then rinse thoroughly with high-pressure water.
