How do I connect my STIHL pressure washer?

Last update:
Note: Before you prepare your STIHL product for use, put it into operation, clean, transport, store, maintain, repair, troubleshoot or dispose of it, please read the instruction manual carefully. The instruction manual contains safety instructions and supports you in using your STIHL product in a safe and environmentally friendly manner over a long service life.

Connecting a pressure washer with a spray gun, lance, hose and nozzle involves a few steps and is described in the operating instructions:

  1. Connect one side of the high-pressure hose firmly to the pressure washer. The other side of the hose is connected to the spray gun. Make sure that both connections are firm and secure to prevent leaks.
  2. Attach the spray gun to the lance. As a rule, the spray gun is simply placed on the lance and secured with a locking mechanism.
  3. The desired nozzle is attached to the end of the lance. The nozzle must be selected depending on the application, for example a fan nozzle for larger areas or a rotary nozzle for stubborn dirt.
  4. Connect the pressure washer to your water source. This can vary depending on the water source, for example via a tap or a rain barrel. Make sure the water connection is tight and has no leaks. For rainwater, there are suitable accessories such as the STIHL suction set. In any case, we recommend using a water filter to protect the pressure washer from damage.
  5. Check the settings on the pressure washer to make sure the pressure is set according to your needs.
  6. If your pressure washer is electric, plug it into a socket and make sure the power supply is working properly.

After all the parts are connected, you can switch on the pressure washer and start cleaning. Make sure you observe the manufacturer's safety precautions and follow the information in the operating instructions exactly.
