- Begin Cleaning: Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to start the high-pressure water flow. Maintain a safe distance from the surface being cleaned to avoid damage.
- Adjusting Spray: If your spray gun has adjustable nozzles, rotate or change them to achieve the desired spray pattern (e.g., wide fan for general cleaning, narrow jet for stubborn dirt).
- Shutting Down: To stop operation, release the spray gun trigger. The motor may continue to run for a short period or cycle on and off. For complete shutdown, turn the main power switch to 'OFF' and then turn off the water supply.
- Depressurize: After turning off the water supply, squeeze the spray gun trigger to release any remaining pressure in the system.
- Storage: Disconnect the power cable and water hose. Drain any remaining water from the machine and hoses. Store the pressure washer in a dry, frost-free location.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your pressure washer.
- Water Inlet Filter: Regularly check and clean the water inlet filter to prevent debris from entering the pump.
- Nozzle Cleaning: If the spray pattern becomes irregular or pressure drops, clean the nozzle orifice with the provided cleaning tool or a thin wire.
- Hose and Connections: Inspect the high-pressure hose and all connections for wear, damage, or leaks. Replace damaged parts immediately.
- Winterization: If storing the pressure washer in an area where temperatures may drop below freezing, winterize the unit by flushing it with an anti-freeze solution designed for pressure washers to prevent damage from freezing water.
- General Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the machine clean. Do not use harsh chemicals that could damage plastic components.
