How to Keep Your Gas-Power Washer in Good Condition

It’s important to keep your gas-power washer in good condition by following the manufacturer’s instructions for proper care. Make sure to keep the machine clean and free of debris, and check all hoses, filters, and nozzles for damage or clogs before each use.

To clean your washer:

• Start by disconnecting the power source and draining any residual water from the pump.
• Next, remove the spark plug and spray a liberal amount of WD-40 or a similar product into the cylinder.
• Replace the plug and pull the cord to distribute the WD-40 throughout the engine.
• Once you’ve done that, it’s time to flush the system.
• Connect a garden hose to the water inlet and run the engine for a few minutes to clear out any dirt or debris.
• Finally, disconnect the hose and run the engine until it runs out of gas.

Proper storage is also important for maintaining your gas-powered washer. Be sure to empty the gas tank and run the engine until it stops to prevent corrosion. Once the tank is empty, disconnect the spark plug and add a few drops of oil to the cylinder.

Finally, store the machine in a dry, protected area to keep it from rusting or deteriorating.

By following these simple tips, you can keep your gas-powered washer in good condition for years to come.
