How To Use a Pressure Washer | Professional Tips & Tricks

What happens here

Familiarize yourself with the starting components and connections. Locate the pull string for starting the engine, and the on/off switch for the pressure washer. Identify the water inlet port, which usually contains a screen filter to prevent debris from entering the pump, especially when using non-city water sources like canals. Also, locate the water outlet port, which typically uses a quick-release fitting for the pressure washing hose.

Goal: Locate essential operating controls and water ports.
