  • Sometimes we tend to forget the connectors of attaching a pressure washer to the garden tap, well this is to remind myself and you on how to.

    What’s the name of the connector at 1:35? I need that to connect my pipe to the pressure washer but I’m clueless about this stuff

    Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use czcams.com/users/postUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.

    'Both connectors have a stop feature, so make sure you are getting the right connector'. You should explain what the 'right connector' is and what both of these connector types are and why it's important. Connecting an 'aquastop' type connector will damage your pressure washer. Only use the 'aquastop' type of connector to a garden hose end attachment. You need a straight through hose connector on both ends for a pressure washer. You also need to run the pressure washer with the power OFF and the water supply connected first to remove any air locks which can also damage your pressure washer.

    God forgive me but it's so refreshing reading the posts others have left about hose pipes bursting off the tap / problems with hose connectors. I bought a karcher years ago and effectively couldn't use it because of all the problems. My outdoor tap originally came with a brass hose connector. I was advised to take it off and use the plastic one that came with my garden hose. Now I can't get the plastic one off and the (stronger) brass one is sitting in the kitchen doing nothing. Why can't everything be universal? Thre are too many compatibility problems. I give up!

  • @rajibsh
    @rajibsh Před rokem +2

    Turn on the water source…
    Do not turn on the pressure washer immediately…
    Check for a constant flow of water out of the gun, provided the gun trigger is pressed to on mode…
    Constant outgoing flow means all air is out…
    Now turn on the pressure washer.
