Generac Portable Products 2,300 PSI High Pressure Washer

Applying Detergent with the Adjustable Nozzle

IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for pressure washers. Household detergents could damage the pump.

IMPORTANT: You must attach all hoses before you start the engine. Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and without the water turned ON will damage the pump.

To apply detergent, follow these steps:

•Review the use of adjustable nozzles.

•Prepare the detergent solution as required by the job.

•Hang the detergent solution on the hook of the wireform attached to the handle, as shown in Figure 15.

Figure 15 — Insert Filter into Container

•Remove the detergent siphoning tube from the clip on the handle.

•Place the filter end of the detergent siphoning tube into the detergent container.

CAUTION! Keep the detergent siphoning tube from coming in contact with the hot muffler. This will damage the plastic tube. When inserting the filter into a cleaning solution bottle, route the tube so as to keep it from inadvertently contacting the hot muffler.

•Slide the adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure mode. Detergent cannot be applied with the nozzle in high pressure position.

•Make sure the garden hose is connected to the water inlet. Check that the high pressure hose is connected to the spray gun and the pump (see “Connect Hose and Water Supply to Pump”, page 7). Start the engine.

•Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting from the bottom and working up.

•Allow the detergent to “soak in” for 3-5 minutes before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent surface from drying.

•For washing, start at lower portion of area to be washed and work upward, using long, even, overlapping strokes.

Pressure Washer Rinsing

WARNING! Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from a ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively unstable location. Pressure in a running washer builds as you climb. When you press the trigger, the recoil from the initial spray could cause you to fall. The high pressure spray could also cause you to fall if you are too close to the cleaning surface.

For Rinsing:

•Slide the nozzle backward to high pressure, press the trigger and wait for the detergent to clear.

NOTE: You can also stop detergent from flowing by simply removing detergent siphoning tube from bottle.

•Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area you plan to spray.

•Apply a high pressure spray to a small area, then check the surface for damage. If no damage is found, it is okay to continue cleaning.

•Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working down with same overlapping strokes as you used for washing and applying detergent.

Automatic Cool Down System

(Thermal Relief)

If you run the engine on your pressure washer for

3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray gun, circulating water in the pump can reach a temperature between 140–145°F. When the water reaches this temperature, the automatic cool down system engages and cools the pump by discharging the warm water onto the ground. This system prevents internal damage to the pump.
