How to make your pressure washer last longer.
Here are ways to help your pressure washer stay in tip top shape longer:
-
Change the oil in the high-pressure pump after the first 50 hours of use and every 500 hours (or annually) after that.
-
Replace the high-pressure nozzles every six months.
-
Change the oil in the engine every 25 hours and the oil filter every 50 hours; or, for a unit powered by an electric motor, grease the motor every 250 hours.
-
Change the engine fuel filter and spark plugs every 500 hours or six months.
-
Clean the water screen filter weekly.
-
Remove burner soot and de-scale the heating coil at least once a year.
-
Winterize your pressure washer to prevent freeze damage to the pump and heating coil.
-
Never start a pressure washer without water.
-
Always neutralize and flush detergent from the system after use.
