No Garden Hose Required Just fill the bucket with lake water, slip a battery into the base unit, and hose off all the dirt. Be careful with the water you put in the bucket though.
Clogged carburetors or air filters can cause a pressure washer not to start. If your pressure washer won`t start, you can also check for a clogged carburetor or air filter.
To connect the garden hose to the pressure washer, you will need to use an adapter. The most common type of adapter is the brass garden hose swivel adapter. This type of adapter has a male and female end that can be screwed onto the pressure washer and garden hose respectively.
Pressure Washer Nozzles
0 degrees (red nozzle) is the most powerful, concentrated nozzle setting. 15 degrees (yellow nozzle) is used for heavy-duty cleaning. 25 degrees (green nozzle) is used for general cleaning. 40 degrees (white nozzle) is used for vehicles, patio furniture, boats and easily damaged surfaces.
In all cases the first two digits of the nozzle number indicate the spray angle (disperse) in degrees. EXAMPLE: 00 is 0 degree, 15 is 15 degree, 25 is 25 degree and 40 is 40 degree. The last two digits of the nozzle number indicate the orifice size, a standard industry designation.
Electric pressure cookers` high-pressure setting reaches a maximum of 12 to 12.5 psi. This is a lower psi than stovetop pressure cookers, which reach about 15 psi. At 12 psi, the fibers in vegetables and meat break down quickly, allowing foods to be cooked in a short amount of time.
