Protect Yourself, Your Equipment, and Your Farm with These Simple Practices
High-pressure washers are powerful tools used for a variety of farm tasks—cleaning machinery, animal enclosures, storage areas, and irrigation equipment. But while they make tough jobs easier, they also come with serious risks if not handled properly.
At Natraj Super, we not only provide robust and efficient high-pressure washers for farm use, but we also care about your safety. In this blog, we’re sharing five crucial safety tips every farmer or farm worker should follow when using a high-pressure washer.
1. 🧤 Wear Proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
Why it matters: High-pressure jets can cut skin, cause eye injuries, and launch debris at high speeds.
What you need:
- Safety goggles or a face shield
- Waterproof gloves with grip
- Long-sleeved clothing and rubber boots
- Hearing protection (for gas-powered washers)
💡 Extra Tip: Always wear non-slip footwear to avoid accidents on wet surfaces.
2. 🔄 Use the Correct Nozzle for the Job
Why it matters: Nozzles control the spray angle and intensity. The wrong one can damage surfaces—or worse, injure someone.
Common Nozzle Types:
- 0° (Red): Direct stream—extremely powerful (use with caution)
- 15° (Yellow): Ideal for tough stains on concrete and machinery
- 25° (Green): General cleaning for farm tools, tractors, etc.
- 40° (White): Gentle cleaning on delicate surfaces like windows
- Soap Nozzle (Black): For applying detergents
🧰 Pro Tip: Natraj Super’s high-pressure washers come with a color-coded nozzle set. Always start with a wider angle and adjust as needed.
3. ⚠️ Set the Right Pressure for the Task
Why it matters: Too much pressure can damage equipment, strip paint, or injure the operator. Too little won’t get the job done.
Guidelines:
- 1000–1500 PSI: Light-duty cleaning (vehicles, walls)
- 1500–3000 PSI: General farm use (tractors, floors, tools)
- 3000+ PSI: Heavy-duty cleaning (barn floors, engines)
🔧 Check your manual: Natraj Super machines are clearly labeled with pressure ranges and safety thresholds.
4. 👁️ Be Aware of Your Surroundings
Why it matters: Sprayers can dislodge debris, knock over containers, or accidentally harm livestock.
Safety checks before starting:
- Clear the work area of people and animals
- Remove loose objects and flammable materials
- Avoid spraying near electrical outlets or wires
💡 Safety First: Never use a pressure washer on ladders or unstable surfaces.
5. 🔌 Practice Proper Maintenance and Shutdown
Why it matters: A well-maintained machine is safer, more efficient, and lasts longer.
Quick Maintenance Tips:
- Check hoses for cracks and leaks before use
- Clean nozzles after every job
- Store indoors, away from moisture and sunlight
- Release pressure from the machine before disconnecting hoses
