Do you ever notice that your pressure washer is not performing as well as it once did? Perhaps it doesn’t spray out water as powerful or it’s leaking. If so, maybe some parts need replacing! Replacing these parts will make your pressure washer as good as new. Below are some pointers that can help you select and swap the right parts for the pressure washer.
Consult Your Owner's Manual: Review your pressure washer’s owner manual. It will tell you which pieces you can replace and the ones that you cannot change. It is critical not to attempt to replace something that cannot be replaced, as this action will cause further damage to your own device. The manual with care instructions like is a map to helping you care for that pressure washer.
OEM vs. Aftermarket Parts: You should make a decision whether you want to get an OEM part or an aftermarket part. OEM parts are produced by the same company that manufactured your pressure washer, so they are made to fit and function perfectly with your machine. They may be pricier, but rest assured they will fit well and work as intended. Aftermarket parts may be less expensive, but might not fit or work as well as OEM parts. In some cases, aftermarket parts will cause more issues down the road, so consider this option carefully.
Know Your Model and Serial Number: It’s also vital to know the exact model and serial number of your pressure washer. This information makes it easy to get the correct replacement parts. If you don’t know these things, you might make guesses and buy the wrong parts, which can be incredibly frustrating and cost you in both time and money. Always double-check that you’re receiving the correct items.
Using the Incorrect Tools: Every aspect of your pressure washer may require special tools to remove or replace. The right tools for the job are very important. And makeshift or improvised tools to fix your machine could end up breaking the parts or even damaging the entire pressure washer. Have the right tools at hand before you begin any work.
Ignoring the Manual’s Directions: Even if you’re confident that you can swap out a part, it’s still best to strictly adhere to the directions in the manual. Doing something in the wrong order or skipping a step can create serious issues down the road. Since the manual has been painstakingly formulated to ensure that you never run into such situations, it contains useful steps that you can follow.
No Start: If your pressure washer won’t start at all, or turns off too quickly, you may need to replace the spark plug, fuel filter or carburetor. These components can become dirty or even defective over time, making it impossible for the machine to start. Replacing these components usually fixes the starting problems.
