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.
Before Starting Unit

DANGER
Electrocution. Water contact with a power source, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

- Remove detergent applicator from spray gun.
- Point spray gun in safe direction and squeeze trigger to flush remaining detergent from system.
- Install high pressure nozzle.
- Keep spray gun a safe distance from area you plan to spray.
- Spray gun may kick back when using high pressure spray. To avoid injury, firmly grasp spray gun with both hands.
- Apply a high-pressure spray to a small area and then inspect surface for damage. If no damage is found, continue rinsing.
- Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with same overlapping strokes as used for cleaning.
Clean Detergent Siphoning Tube
Flush detergent siphoning tube after each use before turning unit OFF.
- Rinse detergent tank thoroughly and fill with clean water.
- Flush for 1-2 minutes.
- Remove detergent applicator.

- Point spray gun in a safe direction, squeeze spray gun trigger to release retained high water pressure. Engage trigger lock.
After Each Use
DO NOT allow water to remain in unit for long periods of time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and freeze pump. Follow these procedures after every use:
- Shut unit OFF.
- Turn water supply OFF.
- Point spray gun in a safe direction, and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped pressure.
-
Disconnect hoses from spray gun and high-pressure outlet on pump. Drain water from hoses, spray gun, and lance. Use a rag to wipe off components.
-
Store unit in a clean, dry area.
NOTE: If storing for more than 30 days, see Storage.
Section 4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will improve performance and extend motor/equipment life.
Power washer warranty does not cover items subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full warranty value, operator must maintain power washer as instructed in this manual, including proper storage as detailed in Storage.
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.

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical device component (no text or symbols)012067
Figure 4-1. Test Spray Gun (typical)
- Verify spray gun hose connection is secure.
- Squeeze and release trigger.
NOTE: Trigger should spring back into place and lock when released.
Nozzle Maintenance

WARNING
Fluid Injection. This machine produces high-pressure fluid streams that can pierce skin. Fluid injection could result in death or serious injury. (000106b)
A pulsing sensation felt when squeezing spray gun trigger may be caused by excessive pump pressure. Typical causes of excessive pump pressure are nozzle clog or restriction. Immediately clean nozzle as follows:
- Turn unit and water supply OFF.
NOTE: Keep high-pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while system is pressurized.
- Relieve spray gun water pressure.
- Engage trigger lock.
- Pull back quick-connect collar and remove nozzle.
- See Figure 4-2. Use supplied nozzle cleaning tool to remove debris.

natural_image

- Install lance on spray gun.

natural_image
Line drawing of a pipe fitting with two ends and a coiled cable (no text or symbols)Figure 4-3. Back Flush Lance
- Install nozzle onto lance.
- Verify hose is connected to pump water inlet, and high-pressure hose is connected to spray gun and pump.
- Turn water ON.
- Turn power switch ON.
- Test power washer by operating with nozzle.
Storage
General
- DO NOT place a storage cover on a hot power washer. Allow unit to cool to room temperature before storage.
- Cover unit with a suitable protective, moisture resistant cover.
- Store unit in a clean and dry area.
Prepare Pump for Storage
NOTE: If not using power washer for more than 30 days, prepare pump for storage.
Protect unit from freezing temperatures. Failure to do so will permanently damage pump and render unit inoperable. Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
Protect unit from freezing temperatures as follows:
- Turn unit OFF.
- Turn water supply OFF.
- Point spray gun in a safe direction, and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped pressure.
- Let unit cool.
- 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.
- Empty pump of all remaining liquids.
- Winterize pump with RV-antifreeze (alcohol free antifreeze). This minimizes freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
- Store unit in a clean and dry area.
