Follow these steps to prepare your pressure washer for first use:
- એન્જિન તેલ ઉમેરો: Remove the oil dipstick/fill cap. Using a funnel, carefully pour SAE 10W-30 motor oil into the engine crankcase until the oil level reaches the 'L' mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill. Securely replace the dipstick/fill cap.
- બળતણ ઉમેરો: Remove the fuel cap. Pour fresh, unleaded gasoline into the fuel tank. Do not overfill. Securely replace the fuel cap.
- ઉચ્ચ-દબાણવાળી નળી જોડો: Attach one end of the high-pressure hose to the pump outlet and the other end to the spray gun. Ensure connections are tight.
- પાણી પુરવઠાને કનેક્ટ કરો: Insert the filter screen into the water inlet of the pump. Connect a garden hose (minimum 5/8 inch diameter) to the water inlet. Ensure the garden hose is free of kinks and fully open the water source.
- Purge Air from Pump: Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun until a steady stream of water flows from the nozzle, indicating that air has been purged from the pump.

એન્જિન શરૂ કરી રહ્યા છીએ
- Ensure all connections are secure and the water supply is on.
- એન્જિન સ્વીચને "ચાલુ" સ્થિતિમાં ફેરવો.
- ચોક લીવરને "ચોક" સ્થિતિમાં ખસેડો (જો એન્જિન ઠંડુ હોય તો).
- ઇંધણ વાલ્વને "ચાલુ" સ્થિતિમાં ખસેડો.
- Pull the recoil starter handle slowly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly to start the engine.
- એકવાર એન્જિન શરૂ થઈ જાય, પછી ધીમે ધીમે ચોક લીવરને "RUN" સ્થિતિમાં ખસેડો.
Using Quick-Connect Nozzles
Your pressure washer comes with multiple quick-connect nozzles, each designed for a specific spray pattern and intensity:
- Red (0°): Pinpoint stream for intense cleaning of small, tough spots. Use with extreme caution.
- Yellow (15°): Narrow fan spray for concentrated cleaning of hard surfaces.
- Green (25°): Medium fan spray for general cleaning of most surfaces.
- White (40°): Wide fan spray for gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces.
- Black (Chemical/Soap): Low-pressure stream for applying detergent.
To change a nozzle, pull back the collar on the spray gun wand, insert the desired nozzle, and release the collar to lock it in place. Always ensure the engine is off and the trigger is released before changing nozzles.

ડીટરજન્ટ લાગુ કરવું
Fill the onboard detergent tank with pressure washer-safe detergent. Attach the black (chemical/soap) nozzle to the spray gun. The pressure washer will automatically draw detergent when operating at low pressure. After applying detergent, switch to a high-pressure nozzle (e.g., green or yellow) to rinse the surface thoroughly.
શટડાઉન પ્રક્રિયા
- એન્જિન સ્વીચને "બંધ" સ્થિતિમાં ફેરવો.
- પાણી પુરવઠો બંધ કરો.
- Squeeze the spray gun trigger to relieve any remaining system pressure.
- બગીચાની નળી અને ઉચ્ચ દબાણવાળી નળીને ડિસ્કનેક્ટ કરો.

5. જાળવણી
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your pressure washer. Always perform maintenance with the engine off and the spark plug wire disconnected.
એન્જિન જાળવણી
- તેલનું સ્તર તપાસો: Before each use, check the engine oil level and add oil if necessary.
- તેલ બદલો: પહેલા 5 કલાક ઉપયોગ પછી એન્જિન ઓઇલ બદલો, પછી દર 50 કલાકે અથવા વાર્ષિક ધોરણે.
- શુધ્ધ એર ફિલ્ટર: Clean the air filter every 25 hours or more often in dusty conditions. Replace if damaged.
- સ્પાર્ક પ્લગ: દર વર્ષે સ્પાર્ક પ્લગનું નિરીક્ષણ કરો અને સાફ કરો. જો તે ઘસાઈ ગયો હોય તો તેને બદલો.
પંપ જાળવણી
- Inspect Water Inlet Filter: Regularly check the water inlet filter for debris and clean it as needed.
- વિન્ટરાઇઝેશન: If storing the pressure washer in freezing temperatures, use a pump protector or antifreeze solution to prevent damage.
સંગ્રહ
