Using the High Pressure Lance
The high pressure lance is capable of cleaning most areas around the garden or on building work but using detergent is useful when cleaning automobiles or other painted finishes.
Using Brush With the Trigger Gun
The brush is used with the trigger gun. Push the brush onto the trigger gun nozzle and turn clockwise to lock as you would for the lances. (Fig. 15) the brush may be used for washing cars, boats, windows and other similar items. The brush operates at open orifice pressure so it will not direct a stream of water.
