Section 3 Operation

Operation and Use Questions

Call Generac Customer Service at 1-888-GENERAC (1-888-436-3722) with questions or concerns about unit operation and maintenance.

NOTE: This power washer is equipped with a water flow sensor which will start or stop the unit. When the gun trigger is pulled, the unit motor will start. When the gun trigger is released, the water flow and the unit will stop to protect the motor from over heating. When the unit is ON but not in use, the hose and gun may slowly release pressure. The motor will periodically start to reestablish pressure in the hose and gun. This momentary starting is normal to the operation of the unit.

NOTE: Call Generac Customer Service at 1-888-GENERAC (1-888-436-3722) with questions about component replacement.

NOTE: All required service and adjustments should be completed as detailed in Maintenance Schedule.

Maintenance Schedule

NOTE: Adverse conditions will require more frequent service.

Before Each Use
Inspect/clean water inlet screen*
Inspect high-pressure hose**
Inspect detergent siphoning hose/filter
Inspect spray gun and assembly for leaks
Clean debris
Test GFCI plug with Test/Reset buttons**
Inspect electrical cord**
* Clean if clogged. Replace if perforated or torn. ** Do not operate unit if damaged.

Preventive Maintenance

Dirt or debris can cause improper operation and equipment damage. Clean power washer daily or before each use. Inspect all cooling air openings on power washer.

  • Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
  • DO NOT insert any objects through cooling air openings.
  • Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt.
  • Use a vacuum to pick up loose dirt and debris.

Inspect and Clean Inlet Screen

Inspect inlet screen on pump water inlet. Clean clogged screen and replace screen if damaged.

Inspect High-Pressure Hose

High-pressure hoses can develop leaks from wear, kinking, or abuse. Inspect hoses before each use. Inspect for cuts, leaks, abrasions, bulging, and damage or movement of couplings. If these conditions exist, replace hose immediately.

NOTE: DO NOT repair high-pressure hose. Replace with hose that meets or exceeds maximum pressure rating of unit.

Inspect Spray Gun

NOTE: Replace spray gun immediately if it fails any test steps.

  2. Turn water supply OFF.
  3. Point spray gun in a safe direction, and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped pressure.
  4. Let unit cool.
  5. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high-pressure outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, spray gun, and lance. Use a rag to wipe off components.
  6. Empty pump of all remaining liquids.
  7. Winterize pump with RV-antifreeze (alcohol free antifreeze). This minimizes freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
  8. Store unit in a clean and dry area.

Troubleshooting

Problem Cause Correction
Pump fails to produce pressure, has erratic pressure, chattering, loss of pressure, low water volume.1. Water inlet is obstructed.2. Inadequate water supply.3. Inlet hose kinked or leaking.4. Water supply is over 100°F (37.8°C).5. High-pressure hose is obstructed, or leaks.6. Spray gun leaks.7. Nozzle is obstructed.8. Water seals worn.9. Pump is faulty.1. Clean inlet screen.2. Provide adequate water flow.3. Straighten inlet hose, patch leak.4. Provide cooler water supply.5. Clear obstructions or replace hose.6. Replace spray gun.7. Clean nozzle.8. Contact Customer Service.9. Contact Customer Service.
Detergent fails to mix with spray.1. Detergent applicator obstructed or cracked.2. High-pressure nozzle installed.1. Clean or replace applicator.2. Remove high-pressure nozzle.
Unit begins to smolder or smoke.1. Overheated, overloaded or damaged motor.1. Turn unit OFF and unplug power supply. Contact Customer Service.
Unit will not start. 1. Unit is not plugged into power supply or not plugged in correctly.2. Extension cord is too long or wire size too small.3. Main voltage supply too low.4. GFCI plug is tripped.1. Check power supply, socket and fuse.2. Remove extension cord.3. Check for sufficient voltage supply.4. Reset GFCI plug.
Motor shuts down during operation.1. Extension cord is too long or wire size too small.2. Unit overheated.1. Remove extension cord.2. Turn unit OFF and let cool.
Pump does not reach necessary pressure.1. Water inlet filter is clogged.2. Pump is sucking air from hose connections3. Nozzle is worn.4. Pump is faulty.1. Clean water inlet filter.2. Confirm connections and locking ring are tight.3. Replace nozzle.4. Contact Customer Service.
