Jeff 232 Report post Posted April 21, 2010 I have a guy that I hired recently, very mechanical, I just need to get him trained on ALL stuff, equipment for pressure washing Is there any BUSY repair shops/vendors that would like to help train my guy. I will send him wherever for a week and hopefully give him a crash course on the basics and a little detailed training. It will have to be after May. He's not lazy and a good learner, taught him washing in a week and does real well and he has a mechanical background pretty much Or are there any courses out there that are detailed? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Stone 604 Report post Posted April 21, 2010 Jeff, Hook up with the local distributor for whatever engine you use. They will typically have a 3 or 4 day training course for a couple of hundred bucks. They will take him from the basics, all the way up to a more detailed and tougher problems. Well worth it, at least for me. I went through it with one of my guys with Briggs about 4 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Stone 604 Report post Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) Sedco is the distributor for your area. http://www.sedcoinc.com/index.aspx?pg=93 is the page linking the training for you. Edited April 21, 2010 by Scott Stone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff 232 Report post Posted April 21, 2010 Thanks Scott, I will look at that pressure washing class and give them a call, he knows engines pretty well Thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Russ Johnson 141 Report post Posted April 21, 2010 Jeff, that class won't do squat for you. It only covers Briggs Power Products (Troy Built, Brute from Wal Mart, etc.). He'll learn how to fix Home Depot specials. Give me a call and let me know what he needs to learn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Stone 604 Report post Posted April 22, 2010 You would be amazed at what he does not know. He would, too. As for the pressure washers, make sure they are the right type of pump. If they are mostly concerned with axial pumps, then you might not want to spend the money for him to go to that class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
