## Key Considerations

*   **Quick-Connect vs. Threaded:** Most modern foam cannons use quick-connect fittings, which are fast and convenient. Older models or specific brands might use threaded connections, requiring you to screw the gun directly onto the lance.
*   **Size Matters:** Quick-connect fittings come in different sizes (e.g., 1/4 inch). Ensure your foam gun adapter matches your pressure washer's receiver.
*   **Safety First:** Always ensure the pressure washer trigger gun is not activated and the machine is stable when attaching or detaching accessories.

Connecting your foam gun correctly ensures optimal performance and safety while enhancing your cleaning tasks, like washing a vehicle.
