When Should I Service My Pressure Washer

A pressure washer should be serviced annually, or more frequently if it's used heavily. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your machine and prevent costly repairs. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Oil Changes:

New pressure washers should have their pump oil changed after the first 30-50 hours of operation. 

After that, change the oil every 300 hours or once a quarter, or more frequently if you use the machine heavily. 
If the oil appears milky, it's a sign of water contamination, and you should change the oil immediately. 

Other Maintenance Tasks:

Air Filter: Clean or replace the air filter every 25 hours of use, Spark Plug, Muffler, and Spark Arrestor: Inspect and clean the spark arrestor and muffler every 75 hours. Check and replace the spark plug every 100 hours. 
Hoses, Connections, and Pump: Inspect for wear and damage and replace as needed. 
Lubricate: Lubricate moving parts regularly. 
Clean or Replace Filters: Clean or replace fuel and other filters as needed. 
Check Nozzles and Spray Gun: Inspect and clean or replace as needed. 

When to Seek Professional Help:

If you experience low water pressure, leaky hoses, engine trouble, or unusual noises, it's best to contact a professional according to Hotsy Equipment Company.
More complex repairs, such as pump replacement or engine issues, should also be handled by a professional. 

Storage:

Always store your pressure washer in a dry place.
After each use, dry the washer and let any remaining water drain out.
Run clean water through the system to flush out any cleaning solutions before storage.
Store it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
