When not working with detergent, such as when using a non-soap nozzle, turn the detergent dial to the center (Fig. 25). The high-pressure electric power washer is designed to be used with cold or lukewarm water; higher temperatures can damage the pump. The Sun Joe comes with a plastic garden hose connector already supplied.
When connecting a garden hose to the power washer, Sun Joe wisely uses a replaceable metal garden hose adapter. If you have any problems with leaks, you can replace the hose adapter for just a few bucks. The trigger handle is lightweight, easy to control, and didn’t make my hand ache. The whole system is easy to maneuver and move around the garden and I particularly like the product design that keeps all the parts contained on the unit. Because the unit is more vertical than horizontal, it has a fairly small footprint—a big plus if, like me, you have limited storage space. A pressure washer can make these jobs quicker and easier and also save water compared to using a regular hose.
The Sun Joe Pressure Washer is about the size of a household vacuum cleaner. I assembled it in about 20 minutes with just a screwdriver. It comes with everything you need to get started.
I was happy to put the Sun Joe SPX3000 Electric Pressure Washer to the test cleaning up my redwood deck and teak garden furniture. Machine was easy sun joe spx 3000 to use and the safety shut off feature is a plus. The SPX 3001 has plenty of power for an electric unit and more than adequate for home use.
As we approached his house, he stopped using the pressure washer and tried talking to us. If your pressure washer is getting hot too frequently, this could be a sign that there’s either something wrong with it, or you’re doing something wrong. To operate the machine, attach your garden hose to the faucet and the other end to the hose inlet on the machine. Turn the adapter counter-clockwise to tighten the hose. Once you unbox the unit, assembly is a little tedious with almost two dozen separate parts, but not overly difficult.
