1. Upgrade Your Gun:
- Safety First: Turn off your pressure washer and release any pressure by squeezing the trigger. Unplug it if electric, or switch off the engine if petrol.
- Swap Guns: Disconnect your old, basic pressure washer gun from its hose.
- Connect New Gun: Attach your new High Pressure Detail Gun to your pressure washer hose. This gun comes with a clever 3/8" quick-connect adapter that lets you easily link up your old hose (even if it's 'push-connect' style) for a secure, quick connection.
- Versatile Front: Notice the 1/4" quick-connect on the front of your new gun? That's where all the fun accessories like your foam cannon and nozzles click into place!
2. Choose Your Spray (Nozzles):
- Your kit includes 4x Nozzles – each colour-coded and marked, with soft silicone guards to protect your surfaces. Just push them into the front of your new gun until they click.
3. Get Foaming (Big Loads Pro Foam Gun):
- Prepare Solution: Unscrew the bottle from your Big Loads Pro foam gun. IMPORTANT TIP: Fill the canister with water first, then add your 1L Car Wash solution. This prevents it from foaming over! Screw the bottle back on.
- Connect Foam Gun: Remove any nozzle from your High Pressure Detail Gun. Click the Big Loads Pro foam gun directly into the front of your gun.
- Foam Away! Turn on your pressure washer.
4. Rinse & Finish:
- Turn off your pressure washer and release pressure.
- Remove the foam gun and click your chosen rinse nozzle (like the Green 25º or Blue 40º) into your gun.
- Turn your pressure washer back on and thoroughly rinse off all the soap from top to bottom.
