Checklist Before Starting Engine

Generac Portable Products 3,000 PSI High Pressure Washer

•Connect the garden hose to the water inlet. Tighten by hand (Figure 4).

•Turn ON the water.

•Squeeze the trigger on the gun until you have a steady stream of water. This purges the pump of air and impurities.

CAUTION! Before starting the pressure washer, be sure you are wearing adequate eye protection.

Review the unit’s assembly to confirm you have performed all of the following:

•Make sure the handle and wireform are in place and secure.

•Check for properly tightened hose connections.

•Check to make sure that there are no kinks, cuts, or damage to the high pressure hose.

•Check that oil has been added to the proper level in the engine crankcase.

•Add the proper gasoline to fuel tank.

•Provide a proper water supply (not to exceed 140°F) at an adequate flow.

•Be sure to read the “Safety Rules” (page 2) and “Preparing Pressure Washer For Use” (page 5) before using the pressure washer.

How to Start Your Engine

The best way to start your engine–powered pressure washer for the first time is to follow these instructions step–by–step. This starting information also applies whenever you start the engine after you have let the pressure washer sit idle for at least a day.

•Place the pressure washer in an area close enough to an outside water source that can flow at a rate of

3.3 gallons per minute or more.

•Make sure the unit is in a level position.

•Check that the high pressure hose is connected to the spray gun and to the pump. See “Preparing Pressure Washer for Use” on page 5.

•Connect the garden hose to the water inlet on the pressure washer pump and turn on the water.

WARNING! Do Not run the pump without the water supply connected and turned on. You must follow this caution or the pump will be damaged.

•Attach the nozzle extension to the spray gun. Tighten by hand (Figure 5).

•Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to relieve the air pressure caused by turning ON the water. Water will spew out of the gun in a thin stream. Hold the trigger until a steady stream of water appears. This will make it easier to pull start the engine. Release the trigger.

•Apply the safety latch to the spray gun trigger (Figure 6).
