- Start the Motor: Turn the pressure washer's power switch to the "ON" position. The motor will start and build pressure.
- Adjust Nozzle (Vario Nozzle): If using the Vario nozzle, twist it to adjust the spray pattern from a wide fan to a concentrated jet, or to a low-pressure setting for detergent application.

- Fill the foam cannon reservoir with appropriate pressure washer detergent.
- Attach the foam cannon to the spray gun.
- Apply detergent to the surface at low pressure. Allow it to soak as recommended by the detergent manufacturer.
- Rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water using a high-pressure nozzle.
- Técnicas de limpeza:
- Always start cleaning from a distance and move closer to the surface as needed to avoid damage.
- Work from top to bottom to allow gravity to assist in rinsing away dirt and detergent.
- For vehicles, use a wide fan spray and avoid directing the jet directly at sensitive components like tires, mirrors, or electrical parts.
