It uses a dual motor power plant that runs on 110 volts of electricity through a minimum of a 15 amp fuse. It has an adjustable airspeed nozzle that you can dial down when you want to delicately blow water out of a mirror or piece of trim or dial-up when you want to blast the water across the hood. It comes with a 26-foot air hose and a 16-foot power cord so you&#8217;ll rarely need to move the machine around. But when you do, it has four wheels to handle the rolling duties. Let&#8217;s open it up. Pull the contents out of the box and you&#8217;ll find:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The AIR-GT main tube and power unit<\/li>\n<li>The 26-foot Air Hose<\/li>\n<li>(2) Air Nozzles<\/li>\n<li>A spare Rubber O Ring<\/li>\n<li>The User Manual<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32351\" src=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Main-Image-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"air gt\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Main-Image-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Main-Image-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Main-Image-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Main-Image-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Main-Image.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The 26-foot air hose will expand when the machine turns on and retract when it is off.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Pic-4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"hose and nozzles\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Pic-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Pic-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Pic-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Pic-4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Pic-4.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find a spare rubber O Ring.
