top. Spray detergent or cleaner from the bottom up on vertical surfaces to prevent

detergent/ cleaner from running down into your stains and/or dirt. Your local har

When using the adjustable spray lance, the spray pattern and intensity can be con

trolled according to power of water needed for each task. Twist the spray nozzle at

the far end of the lance. Fig 18. Make sure not to aim the gun at bare feet, ﬁngers,

hands or any other part of your body since it has enough power to blast away skin

or put out an eye. It also has the power to damage paint, glass, or other materials
