Once assembled, proceed with the setup. Begin by connecting the water supply hose to the pressure washer’s inlet. Ensure the water supply is turned on and the pressure is adequate. Locate the engine oil fill cap and add the recommended amount of oil. Next, locate the fuel tank and fill it with the appropriate gasoline. Refer to the engine instruction manual for specific fuel recommendations.
Before starting the engine, ensure the choke is in the correct position. Once the engine is running, allow it to warm up for a few minutes. Finally, connect the spray gun to the high-pressure hose and you’re ready to use your DeWalt 3400 PSI Pressure Washer.
Operation
Operating your DeWalt 3400 PSI pressure washer is a straightforward process. Start by ensuring the water supply is connected and turned on. Next, locate the engine start switch and turn it to the “ON” position. Engage the choke lever for cold starts, and then pull the starter rope to start the engine.

Now you’re ready to begin cleaning. Select the appropriate nozzle tip for the task at hand. The pressure washer comes equipped with various quick connect nozzles, each providing a different spray pattern. The pressure can be adjusted using the pressure control knob on the pump. Always start with a lower pressure setting and gradually increase it as needed.
When using the pressure washer, maintain a safe distance from the surface being cleaned. Always direct the spray nozzle away from yourself and others. Avoid spraying onto delicate surfaces, as the high pressure can cause damage. When finished, turn off the water supply and allow the engine to cool down before shutting it off.

If the pressure washer is running but not producing any pressure, check the water intake hose for blockages or kinks. Inspect the nozzle tip for clogging. If there is no water flow from the nozzle, verify that the water supply is turned on and that the water inlet is not frozen. If the pressure washer is producing low pressure, check the pressure control knob to ensure it is set to the desired level.
