What happens here

Locate the pressure adjustment knob, typically marked with plus (+) and minus (-) symbols, which allows you to increase or decrease the water pressure. The presenter notes that most pressure washers don't display the exact PSI. Also, identify the engine speed control, often depicted with a rabbit (fast) and turtle (slow) icon. The presenter recommends always running the pressure washer at full speed and pressure for maximum cleaning power.

fitting on it another thing I want to locate is someplace there's going to be the ability to adjust the pressure on your pressure washer I always run it at full pressure but you never know maybe at some point in time you're going to want to lower the pressure right here it just has plus and a it doesn't tell you what PSI and I've never seen a pressure that pressure washer myself and use one that actually told me the PSI but if I want to turn it down I'm just going to rotate this minus eventually if I turn it all the way it's going to just shut it completely off and it'll go full pressure is all of a sudden it'll just stop now that's full pressure and it just has a plus and a minus has the arrows pointing the plus and minus typically every pressure washer is going to have a choke right here so choke I'm going to turn it to choke I always have to choke it initially when I first start it once it's been run and warmed up I don't have to actually hit the choke so I'm going to flip it to the on position it does have a speed right here so this is the speed of the pressure washer I as soon as I purchase the pressure washer I always just put it at full speed never ever touch that I mean there's never really a time I ever want to slow this thing down I want to just be flooding the building with a lot of water no matter what I'm pressure washing so I literally never mess with that there is
