Pressure cleaning equipment can be used to clean and restore a vast array of outdoor surfaces. The machinery is often engineered and optimised to provide superior outdoor cleaning results. In order to ensure many hours of trouble free operation from your machine regular maintenance and care is required. Regular pressure cleaning maintenance is a preventative measure which can minimise hours of business inactivity and avoid additional expenses by obtaining replacement parts. Failure to continually monitor and maintain your machine can result in it becoming a safety hazard for the operator.
Preventative maintenance and pressure cleaning care is often only minor, and aims to preserve the performance of the pressure washer. On a daily basis it is important to monitor the quality and quantity of oil on both the engine and water pump. Another important component to regularly clean is the pressure pumps water filter. This filter removes fragments of debris and dirt from entering the pump and being exerted at great velocities with the pressurized water.
Depending on the frequency of operation spark plugs and pressure nozzles should be replaced every six or twelve months. Upgrading and changing pressure nozzles prevents the machine from losing pressure.
If you live in a climate that is susceptible to extremely cold winters, a chemical application of anti-freeze should be applied to the machine. This will not only ensure that the water pump will not freeze during storage it will also ensure the internal mechanical parts of the machine are lubricated and protected from rust. This will only be required while the machine is not in operation for extended periods during storage throughout winter.
Often the purchase of any domestic or commercial pressure washer, an operator's manual will be included which will be accompanied by a maintenance schedule. Maintenance should be conducted as to the recommendations of the manufacturer, as the preventative maintenance information found in your manual will be specifically unique to your equipment specifications and mechanical parts.
