1. **Safety First:** Before starting, make sure your pressure cleaner is
turned off and disconnected from any power source. Ensure the washer is
cool to avoid accidental burns and wear protective gloves for safety.
-
2. **Inspect the Pressure Washer:** Start with a visual inspection of your
pressure washer. Look out for any obvious signs of leakage like puddles
under the unit or dripping water.
-
3. **Hose Inspection:** Inspect the hose for any signs of wear, crack, or
cut. These are common areas where water can leak. Also, check the
connection points between the hose and the pressure washer. If the leaks
are coming from here, it might simply be a case of tightening up your
connections.
-
4. **Check the Pump:** The pump is another possible source of leakage.
Pumps can often leak due to worn seals which can be replaced if needed. If
the pump is severely damaged, you may want to consider replacing the
entire pump.
-
5. **Inspect the Gun:** Check the spray gun, particularly where it
connects to the hose and the nozzle. Reattach or replace these parts if
you see water leaks.
-
6. **Examine the Connections:** Finally, examine the water connections on
the machine, including where water enters and exits the machine. Hot water
washers typically have seals which can wear out over time leading to
potential leak.
- If you've followed these steps and are still having trouble locating your
leak or if the issue persists after replacing the necessary part(s), don't
hesitate to contact a professional or customer service for
further assistance. Remember, when dealing with equipment like a hot water
pressure washer, safety should always be your main priority.
