A High Pressure Washer is one of the most powerful cleaning machines you can use for cars, pavements, floors, and outdoor surfaces. The Lenhard High Pressure Washer, known for its strong 14.0 L/min flow rate and 3250 PSI/225 Bar power, delivers fast and deep cleaning — but it must be used safely.

High pressure water can cause injury, damage surfaces, or affect the machine if handled incorrectly. These safety tips will help you use your Lenhard High Pressure Washer confidently and safely.

1. Wear Proper Safety Gear Before Spraying

The water pressure from a High Pressure Washer can push dirt, stones, and chemicals back toward you.

Always wear:
✓ Safety goggles
✓ Rubber or waterproof gloves
✓ Long trousers and sturdy shoes
✓ Ear protection for long use

This protects you from splashback and debris.

2. Never Aim the Spray at People or Pets

The water jet from a Lenhard High Pressure Washer is extremely strong and can cause serious injuries.

Avoid:
✗ Spraying towards people
✗ Spraying towards animals
✗ Testing the pressure on your skin

High pressure water can cut skin or bruise instantly.

3. Inspect the Machine Before Use

Before powering your High Pressure Washer:

✓ Check hose connections
✓ Inspect the nozzle
✓ Make sure the water inlet is tight
✓ Ensure there are no leaks

A quick inspection prevents accidents and equipment damage.

4. Use the Correct Nozzle for Each Task

The Lenhard High Pressure Washer comes with different nozzle options. Using the wrong one can damage surfaces.

Recommended use:
✓ Wide-angle nozzle – cars, tiles, general surfaces
✓ Medium nozzle – tough dirt
✓ Narrow nozzle – deep cleaning on concrete

Never use a narrow jet on delicate surfaces like car paint.

5. Keep a Safe Distance When Cleaning

Stay at least 30–60 cm away from the surface.

Why?
✓ Too close can damage paint
✓ Too far reduces cleaning power
✓ Safe distance protects you from splashback

Adjust as needed for each surface.

6. Do Not Use the Washer Without Water

Running your High Pressure Washer dry can destroy the pump instantly.

Always:
✓ Connect water first
✓ Let water run through the hose
✓ Then switch on the motor

This protects the pump and extends machine lifespan.

7. Be Aware of Your Surroundings

Pressure washers have recoil and can cause you to lose balance.

Be careful around:
✓ Wet and slippery surfaces
✓ Edges and steps
✓ Breakable items
✓ Electrical sockets

Ensure your work area is stable before starting.

8. Avoid Spraying Directly on Electrical Components

Water + electricity is dangerous.

Do not spray:
✗ Car electronics
✗ Open sockets
✗ Exposed wiring
✗ Control panels

Cover sensitive electrical areas before washing.

9. Turn Off the Machine Before Adjusting the Nozzle or Hose

Never adjust anything while your Lenhard High Pressure Washer is running.

Steps:
✓ Turn off the machine
✓ Release pressure from the hose
✓ Make your adjustments
✓ Continue working safely

This prevents accidental bursts of high pressure.

10. Store Your High Pressure Washer Correctly After Use

After cleaning:

✓ Switch off the machine
✓ Release all pressure
✓ Disconnect water
✓ Coil the hose properly
✓ Store in a cool, dry place

Proper storage helps your Lenhard High Pressure Washer last longer.

11. Keep Children Away From the Work Area

A High Pressure Washer is not a toy.
Keep kids and pets away while spraying and during storage.

Final Thoughts

A High Pressure Washer makes cleaning faster and more effective, but it requires careful handling. With the right safety steps, your Lenhard High Pressure Washer will serve you reliably, whether for car washing, driveway cleaning, or home use.
