How to Use the Turbo Nozzle

rapid circular pattern.The high pressure spray is most
effective when the tip of the nozzle extension is held
between 8 to 24 inches from the surface being cleaned.
Always start the turbo nozzle at a distance, gradually
getting closer to the surface until you get the cleaning force
