Re: 7 Common Mistakes of Pressure Wasing
Nice video...
I’ll add storing a pressure washer outside in a shed or garage in winter. Once any water in there freezes - it expands and you likely broke it.

Can be used on tire and wheels but not paint. Most wheels are clear coated.

Yep, happened to me a few years back. First night temperatures went bellow freezing and I forgot to bring the pressure washer in, it stayed in the truck overnight and the next day it was leaking like crazy when I hooked up water to it. Thankfully it was a super cheap unit I had picked up at Walmart for 49$ on heavy special

If you run about 1-2 quarts of non-toxic antifreeze through the pump and hose, the PW can stay outside/ in the garage safely in the winter.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Drain them completely and blow them out with air.

I don't have an inside space that is heated. Just my shed. So antifreeze it is for me. Lol

Not the turbo nozzle tip.
I had the even smaller Nilfisk 100.4 as my first PW. The upgrade to the Kärscher K7 was hughe and the time shortened very much. Nice information in the video. The filter to the water inlett is missed by many but all PW don't have one either. I have some build in frost protection and think it's like the frost plugg on engines. So the PW pump don't cracks when freezed.
