What happens here

Before starting the pressure washer engine, it's crucial to prime the system. To do this, attach the pressure washer wand and nozzle, turn on the water supply, and depress the trigger on the wand. This allows water to flow through the hose and wand, expelling any trapped air before the pump begins to operate. The presenter demonstrates this process. Additionally, he highlights the importance of wearing personal protective equipment: gloves to protect hands from the high-pressure spray and debris, and safety glasses to shield the eyes.

Goal: Prepare the pressure washer for operation and don necessary safety equipment.

Tools and materials

  • Gloves — To protect hands during pressure washing
  • Pressure washer — To generate high-pressure water for cleaning and stripping the fence
  • Pressure washer wand — To direct the high-pressure water stream
  • Safety glasses — To protect eyes from debris and high-pressure water spray

Get all the air um or a airless sprayer. Get all the air out of it first and um it'll actually get going a lot faster. So, I've got my hose pressure washer almost primed. I'm going to be using I like wearing gloves and I also do wear eye protection. So, I've got my uh safety glasses on and I'll begin pressure washing. Now, uh, pulling the start, just make sure you're pulling the trigger, and it's a lot easier to start your pressure washer.
