When you invest in a new piece of cleaning equipment, you want to make sure it lasts as long as possible. Thankfully, proper equipment maintenance can keep your pressure washer running efficiently for a long time. With more than 25 years of experience in the cleaning equipment industry, 4 States Largo specializes in helping business owners throughout Hooks and Texarkana, TX, keep their machines running smoothly.

Following these five maintenance tips will protect your pressure washer and extend its useful life:

• Keep Up With Oil Changes: Clean oil is the key to avoiding problems with your pressure washer pump and engine. Both have different recommended intervals for changing. Contact a professional to get recommended  intervals for your particular unit.
• Use Pump Saver: This mix of antifreeze and lubricants is crucial to preserving your equipment during the winter. The solution helps prevent corrosion and protects the valves and seals.
• Inspect the Spark Plugs: Each time you use your pressure washer, check the spark plug for corrosion or signs of wear. This quick maintenance step ensures your machine will start and run more efficiently.
• Always Run Water: No pressure washer can run without an adequate water supply. Running it without enough liquid can quickly damage seals, cause heat damage, and shorten the lifespan of the machine.
• Clean & Replace Air Filters: Debris buildup will decrease any machine’s efficiency over time. Make sure your pressure washer always has a clean air filter so it runs properly and delivers the results you expect.

Following these simple equipment maintenance tips will help your pressure washer operate smoothly and powerfully for years to come. But if you’re in need of parts, cleaning chemicals, or a brand new machine, 4 States Largo will be happy to assist. For more information, call (903) 547-1247 or visit the website.
