Generac Portable Products 1900 PSI Pressure Washer

• Keep water spray away from electric wiring or fatal electric

shock may result.

Spray contact with electrical wiring can result in

electrocution.

WARNING

• Operate pressure washer ONLY outdoors.

• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that

vapors may be inhaled.

• Read all instructions with mask so you are certain the mask will

provide the necessary protection against inhaling harmful vapors.

Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an

odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Some chemicals or detergents may be harmful if

inhaled or ingested, causing severe nausea,

fainting or poisoning.

Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea,

fainting or death.

DANGER

• Keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning

surface.

• Operate this unit on a stable surface.

• The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and drainage to

reduce the possibility of a fall due to slippery surfaces.

• Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from

a ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively unstable location.

• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high

pressure spray to avoid injury if gun kicks back.

Use of pressure washer can create puddles and

slippery surfaces.

High pressure spray could cause you to fall if

you are too close to the cleaning surface.

WARNING

WHEN ADDING FUEL

• Turn pressure washer OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes

before removing gas cap.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors.

• DO NOT overfill tank.Allow space for fuel expansion.

• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and

other ignition sources.

• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT

• DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel

to spill.

• DO NOT spray flammable liquids.

WHEN TRANSPORTING OR REPAIRING EQUIPMENT

• Transport/repair with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shutoff

valve OFF.

WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL

IN TANK

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes

dryers or other appliances that have pilot light or other

ignition source because they can ignite fuel vapors.

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and

explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or

death.

WARNING

• NEVER aim spray gun at people, animals or plants.

• DO NOT allow CHILDREN to operate pressure washer.

• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.

HOW TO USE PRESSURE

WASHER

If you have any problems operating your pressure washer,

please call the pressure washer helpline at

1-800-270-1408.

How To Start Pressure Washer

To start your pressure washer for the first time, follow

these instructions step-by-step.This starting information

also applies if you have let the pressure washer sit idle for

at least a day.

1. Place pressure washer near an outside water source

capable of supplying water at a flow rate greater than

3.0 gallons per minute and no less than 20 PSI at

pressure washer end of garden hose.

2. Check that high pressure hose is tightly connected to

spray gun and to pump. See “Preparing Pressure

Washer for Use” for illustrations.

3. Make sure unit is in level position.

4. Connect garden hose to water inlet on pressure

washer pump. Turn ON the water.

5. Attach adjustable nozzle extension to spray gun

(Figure 4).Tighten by hand.

6. Position nozzle in low pressure mode (see “How To

Use Adjustable Nozzle”) and squeeze trigger on spray

gun to relieve air pressure caused by turning ON

water.Water will flow out of spray gun in thin stream.

Continue to hold trigger until steady stream of water

occurs and no air remains in system.This will make it

easier to pull start the engine. Release trigger.

7. Engage safety latch to spray gun trigger (Figure 5).

8. Start engine according to instructions given in engine

owner’s manual.

NOTE: Always keep the throttle lever in the “Fast”

position when operating the pressure washer.

How To Stop Pressure Washer

• Turn engine off according to instructions given in the

engine owner’s manual.

•Squeeze trigger on the spray gun to relieve

pressure in the hose.

NOTE: A small amount of water will squirt out when

pressure is released.

How To Use Adjustable Nozzle

You now should know how to START your pressure

washer and how to STOP it.The information in this

section will tell you how to adjust the spray pattern and to

apply detergent or other cleaning chemicals.

1. Slide nozzle forward to adjust spray to low pressure

mode (Figure 6). Slide nozzle backward to achieve high

pressure.

2. Point nozzle towards a firm surface and press trigger

to test spray pattern (Figure 7).

3. Twisting nozzle adjusts spray pattern from a narrow

pattern to a fan pattern (Figure 8).

4. For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle between

8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.

5. If spray nozzle is held too close to surface, especially

using high pressure mode, damage to surface may

occur.

6. DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.

Applying Detergent With Adjustable

Nozzle

IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for

pressure washers. Household detergents could damage

the pump.

To apply detergent, follow these steps:

1. Review adjustable nozzle use.

2. Prepare detergent solution as required by job.

3. Place filter end of chemical injection hose into detergent

container.

CAUTION

• Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and

without the water turned ON will damage the pump.

• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this

instruction will void warranty.

You must attach all hoses before you start the engine.

• NEVER adjust spray pattern when spraying.

A pressure washer produces a high pressure spray

which increases risk of injury and damage to unit.

CAUTION

Generac Portable Products 1900 PSI Pressure Washer

4. Slide adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure mode.

Detergent cannot be applied with nozzle in high pressure

position.

5. Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.

Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray gun

and pump; start engine.

6. Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower

portion of area to be washed and work upward, using

long, even, overlapping strokes.

7. Allow detergent to "soak in" for 3-5 minutes before

washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent

surface from drying. DO NOT allow detergent to dry on

(prevents streaking).

IMPORTANT: You must flush the chemical injection

system after each use by placing the filter into a bucket of

clean water, then run the pressure washer in low pressure

for 1-2 minutes.

Pressure Washer Rinsing

For Rinsing:

1. Slide nozzle backward to high pressure, press trigger and

wait for detergent to clear.

NOTE: You can also stop detergent from flowing by simply

removing chemical injection hose from bottle.

2. Keep spray gun a safe distance from surface.

3. Apply high pressure spray to a small area, then check

surface for damage. If no damage is found, it is okay to

continue cleaning.

4. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with

same overlapping strokes as 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 temperatures

above 125°F.The system engages to cool the pump by

discharging the warm water onto the ground.

• Keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning

surface.

• Operate this unit on a stable surface.

• Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from

a ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively unstable location.

• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high

pressure spray to avoid injury if gun kicks back.

High pressure spray could cause you to fall if

you are too close to the cleaning surface.

WARNING

CAUTION

• When inserting the filter into a detergent solution bottle,

route the tube so as to keep it from inadvertently contacting

the hot muffler.

Keep the chemical injection tube from coming in contact

with the hot muffler.
