highest amount of pressure. It is best
used for removing hard, stuck-on
grime or dirt.
15O
Narrow fan mode (15° )
• This mode provides high versatility
with 15 degree angle. It provides ade-
quate pressure to remove dirt from
surfaces, but is designed to not dam-
age many surfaces. This mode is de-
signed for “sweeping” foliage or deb-
ris given its wide angle. This mode is
versatile due to its wide area of
cleaning and strong pressure applica-
tion.

• This mode provides high versatility
with 25 degree angle. It provides ade-
quate pressure to remove dirt from
surfaces, but is designed to not dam-
age many surfaces. This mode is de-
signed for “sweeping” foliage or deb-
ris given its wide angle. This mode is
versatile due to its wide area of
cleaning and strong pressure applica-
tion.
Mode APPLICATION
40O
Wide fan mode (40° )
• The white 40 degree tip, referred to
as the “fan” tip creates the widest
area of cleaning with relatively low
pressure. This mode is best used for
light or delicate cleaning applica-
tions. It is recommended for light
cleaning on wood decks and other
soft or delicate surfaces.
