Borrow Pressure washer

To use a Nilfisk Alto 130.1 pressure washer, first ensure the machine is correctly assembled and connected to a water and power source. Then, adjust the pressure settings as needed. Finally, operate the spray gun, keeping a safe distance from the cleaning surface and adjusting pressure as needed. 

Detailed Steps:

1. Assembly and Connections:

Attach the water inlet filter to the pressure washer. 

Connect the garden hose to the water inlet and the other end to a water source. 

Connect the high-pressure hose to the pressure washer and the spray gun. 

Ensure the power cable is connected to a grounded power outlet. 

2. Pressure Adjustment:

Adjust the pressure using the pressure regulator knob on the spray lance or near the water outlet. 

Turning the knob counterclockwise decreases pressure, and vice versa, according to VEVOR. 

3. Operation:

Engage the safety lock: The spray gun has a locking device to prevent accidental activation. 

Point the nozzle at the ground: Before activating the spray gun, point the nozzle at the ground or a safe surface to avoid injury. 

Activate the trigger: Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to start the water flow. 

Adjust distance and pressure: Hold the spray gun firmly with both hands and adjust the distance between the nozzle and the cleaning surface to control the pressure. 

Maintain a safe distance: Keep a safe distance from the cleaning surface to prevent damage and ensure effective cleaning. 

Clean the nozzle: If the nozzle gets clogged.

4. Safety Precautions:

Never operate the machine indoors or in freezing temperatures: This can damage the machine and pose safety hazards. 

Always use the pressure washer in a well-ventilated area: This helps prevent the build-up of potentially harmful fumes. 

Wear appropriate safety gear: Including eye and hearing protection, especially when using high pressure. 

Never direct the water jet at people or animals: This can cause serious injury. 

Be aware of potential kickback: The spray lance can experience a longitudinal thrust, especially when using high pressure.
