Extended Product Information
FAQs
What type of petrol should I use?
Use fresh, unleaded petrol. Avoid stale fuel, as it can affect engine performance.
How often should I change the engine oil?
Refer to the engine manual for specific intervals, but typically after the first 20 hours of use and then every 50-100 hours, or annually, whichever comes first.
Can I use this pressure washer to clean my car?
Yes, but always use a wider spray nozzle (e.g., 25° or 40°) and maintain a safe distance to avoid damaging the paintwork.
What is the warranty period for this pressure washer?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for the most up-to-date warranty information.
How do I switch between different nozzles?
Turn off the engine and relieve any pressure. The nozzles typically push and twist onto the spray lance end.
Is this pressure washer suitable for commercial use?
This model is designed for domestic and light commercial use. For heavy-duty, continuous commercial applications, a higher-rated machine may be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Engine won't start
Check fuel level, ensure fuel valve is open, verify choke position, check spark plug connection, and ensure engine oil level is adequate.
Low water pressure
Ensure the water supply is fully turned on, check for kinks in the inlet hose, clean or replace the nozzle, and verify the water filter is not clogged.
Engine runs unevenly
Check the air filter for dirt, ensure fresh fuel is being used, and clean the spark plug.
Water leaks from pump seals
Cease operation and contact customer support. This may require professional repair.
Hose reel is difficult to turn
Ensure the hose is wound evenly. Check for any debris obstruction around the reel mechanism.
