The best way to know if your pressure washer is safe is by checking the safety features of your washer. You can also check by reading the user manual or by checking the internet for information about your pressure washer. If you are not sure about your pressure washer, you should contact a professional who can come out and inspect the motor, pump and other parts for you.

First of all, make sure that it has the correct attachments. Some people forget to check this part because they assume that all pressure washers are made the same way. If this is the case, then they would not have any problems with their machine. But if they didn't know any better, they could easily get into trouble by not knowing how to properly attach the attachments to their machine.

Once you have found out what parts are on your machine and what kind of attachment is needed for those parts, then it would be easier for you to determine whether or not your machine is okay or not. You should also see if there is anything missing from your machine such as the nozzle or hose. If there are no leaks, then it would mean that everything is working correctly and you don't need to worry about anything else.

The next step in making sure that your machine works

Your pressure washer pump is the heart of the machine. It pumps water through the equipment and under high pressure to the point of application. Like any mechanical equipment though, the pump will eventually wear out and need repair or replacement. Knowing when your pump needs service can save you from damaging it completely and having an expensive replacement bill.

Here are 4 simple signs that your pressure washer pump might need service:

1. Decreased Output - Your pressure washer's ability to produce high-pressure output (power) is a key sign that your pump might need service. If your pressure output drops by as little as 50psi, it could be a sign that you have a worn unloader valve or check valves in your pump. These valves are designed to prevent backflow of water into the pump when not in use or when the trigger gun is closed, but if they become worn they can leak and decrease power output.

2. Pressure Fluctuation - If you find yourself constantly adjusting your spray gun in order to maintain proper spray pattern and flow, it could be a sign that your pump is wearing out and needs service. As pumps age they start to lose their ability to produce consistent, smooth flow

3. If this doesn't work, you can use a garden hose to flush out the nozzle and hose. If you notice that the water isn't flowing smoothly or has stopped flowing altogether, this could mean there's something stuck in the hose or nozzle.

4. Pressure washers can also develop leaks over time due to wear and tear on the hoses or seals. If your pressure washer is leaking, then there is definitely something wrong with it. Most leaks are caused by damaged hoses or plumbing issues inside of the machine itself. You'll want to get someone out there who knows how to fix these types of issues right away before the problem gets any worse than it already is.

5. Overheating. Your pressure washer has an automatic shutoff switch that will turn off the engine if it gets too hot — which can happen if the pump isn't getting enough water flow, if the engine is underpowered for what you're trying to do, or if there's some other problem. An overheating pump may cause damage to internal components, so look in the owner's manual for instructions on how to cool down an overheated pump safely.
