Ensure adequate water supply.
Do not run pump without
water.

Running
a pressure washer pump without water is one of the worst things you can do to
your pump. The pump is cooled by the cool inlet water
running through the pump. Make
sure your inlet
hose is not kinked. Check to see if a car or truck can
park on your hose if working in a parking lot. You may want to
take the handle off the tap you are working from. Seems like small
things but could save a pump from a fatal breakdown.
Without water, friction can cook the seals / packings, crack the pistons / plungers,
destroy the oil seals, ruin the connecting rods and crankshaft.
Time
for a new pump.
SOME OF THESE OPERATIONS CAN BE
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT TRAINING IN THESE PROCEDURES, WE RECOMMEND YOU
