Fig. 4 Spray Gun High pressure hose Engine Multi-adjustable spray wand High pressure pump Detergent injection hose BASIC ELEMENTS OF A PRESSURE WASHER High pressure pump: Increases the pressure of the water supply. Engine: Drives the high pressure pump.
2. PRESSURE WASHER TERMINOLOGY PSI: Pounds per Square Inch. The unit of measure for water pressure. Also used for air pressure, hydraulic pressure, etc. GPM: Gallons Per Minute. The unit of measure for the flow rate of water. CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by PSI. GPM x PSI = CU Bypass Mode: Allows water to re-circulate within pump when the gun trigger is not pulled. Allowing the unit to run for more than two minutes without the gun trigger pulled could cause overheating and damage to the pump.
The nozzle at the end of the multi-adjustable spray wand can be rotated to change the high pressure spray pattern from a 0º pencil stream to a 40º fan spray (see Fig. 6a and 6b). Markings have been placed on the nozzle to help you select the spray pattern.
