After Each Use:
Always disconnect water and power, and release pressure from the hose before storing the washer.
Clean water filter or strainer on the intake hose. It can become blocked with debris and reduce water flow to the pump.
Every Few Months:
Check and replace seals and gaskets, if needed. Over time, these parts can become worn and cause leaks.
Check oil levels if your pressure washer has an oil-based pump.
Inspect O-rings and replace if necessary.
Check Pump Inlet Screen: Ensure that the pump's inlet screen is clean and free from debris. A clogged screen can restrict water flow and reduce the pressure washer's performance.
Yearly Maintenance:
Have your pressure washer professionally serviced. A professional can check for any issues or worn parts that may need to be replaced.
By following these maintenance tips, you can help ensure your pressure washer performs well for years to come.
