FAQs
What type of oil should I use for the engine?
Refer to the product manual for the specific type and viscosity of engine oil recommended for your Switzer pressure washer. Typically, a SAE 30 or 10W-30 oil is used, but always confirm with the manufacturer's instructions.
How often should I clean the air filter?
The air filter should be checked regularly, especially in dusty conditions. Clean it after every 25-50 hours of operation or as recommended in the user manual. A clogged air filter can reduce engine performance.
Can I use this pressure washer for cleaning delicate surfaces like painted wood?
While versatile, always use the widest angle nozzle (e.g., 40°) and maintain a safe distance from delicate surfaces. Test in an inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not cause damage.
What is the maximum water temperature this unit can handle?
This pressure washer is designed for cold water use only. Using hot water can damage the pump seals and internal components.
How do I store the pressure washer during winter?
To prevent damage from freezing, drain all water from the pump and hoses. It is also recommended to add a fuel stabilizer and run the engine briefly to clear the carburetor if storing for an extended period. Store in a dry, protected location.
What is the warranty period for this pressure washer?
Warranty information varies. Please refer to the warranty card included with your product or check the official Switzer website for the most accurate and up-to-date warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Pressure washer won't start
Check fuel level, ensure fuel valve is open, check spark plug connection, and verify choke position. Consult the manual for detailed starting procedures.
Low pressure output
Ensure the water supply is adequate, check for kinks in the inlet or outlet hose, clean or change the nozzle, and verify the correct nozzle is being used for the task.
Engine runs unevenly
Check the air filter for obstructions, ensure fresh fuel is being used, and inspect the spark plug. If problems persist, consult a qualified mechanic.
Water leaks from connections
Ensure all hose connections are tight and washers are present and in good condition. Inspect hoses for damage.

Ensure the correct soap nozzle is attached and the detergent tank is filled. Check if the detergent pickup tube is submerged in the solution and not blocked.
