How to Use the 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 apply detergent or any other cleaning chemicals.

DANGER! Never adjust spray pattern when

spraying. Never put hands in front of nozzle to
adjust spray pattern.

On the end of your spray gun is a nozzle that you can
slide forward and backward and that you can also
twist from side to side. With the adjustable nozzle you
can adjust the spray pattern to be either high
pressure or low pressure. You can also adjust the
spray so it is concentrated in a stream pattern or
expanded into a fan pattern.

 Slide the nozzle forward when you wish to adjust

the spray to low pressure mode (Figure 13). Slide
the nozzle backward to achieve high pressure.

 Point the nozzle toward the ground and press the

trigger to test the pattern (Figure 14).

 Twisting the nozzle adjusts the spray pattern from a

narrow pattern to a fan pattern.

 For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle

between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.

 If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially

using high pressure mode, you may damage the
cleaning surface.

 Do not get closer than 6 inches when cleaning

automobile tires.

Generac Portable Products 2000PSI 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 on page 11.
 Prepare the detergent solution as required by the

job.

 Hang the detergent solution on hook of the wireform

on the handle (Figure 15).

 Place small filter of the clear, detergent siphoning

tube into the detergent container.

CAUTION! Keep the plastic injector tube from

coming in contact with the hot muffler. This will
damage the plastic tube. When inserting the
filter into a cleaning agent 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 nozzle in
high pressure position.

IMPORTANT: Detergent cannot be applied without
the water source turned on.

 Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.

Check that high pressure hose is connected to
spray gun and pump. Start engine.

 Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting from the

bottom and working up.

 Allow the detergent to soak in between 3-5 minutes

before washing and rinsing.

 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 force you to
fall. The high pressure spray could also force
you to fall if you are too close to the cleaning
surface.

For Rinsing:

 Slide nozzle backward to high pressure and wait for

detergent to clear.

 Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area

you plan to spray.

 Apply a high pressure spray to an small area and

then check the surface for damage. If no damage is
found, you can assume it is okay to continue
cleaning.

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

same overlapping strokes as you used for cleaning.

Note: You can also stop detergent from flowing by
simply removing siphon from bottle.

Automatic Cool Down System

(also known as 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.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty of the high pressure washer does not
cover items that have been subjected to operator
abuse or negligence. To receive the full value from
the warranty, the operator must maintain the high
pressure washer as instructed in this manual.

 Some adjustments will need to be made periodically

to properly maintain your high pressure washer.

 All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual should be made at least once
each season.

 Once a year you should clean or replace the spark

plug and clean or replace the air filter and check the
gun and wand assembly for wear. A new spark plug
and clean air filter assure proper fuelair mixture
and help your engine run better and last longer.

Before Each Use

 Check engine oil level.
 Check water inlet screen for damage.
 Check high pressure hose for leaks.
 Check chemical injection tube and filter for damage.
 Check gun and adjustable nozzle extension

assembly for leaks.

 Rinse out garden hose to flush out debris.

PRESSURE WASHER
MAINTENANCE

Check and Clean Inlet Screen

Examine the screen on the water inlet. Clean it if the
screen is clogged or replace it if screen is damaged.

Check High Pressure Hose

The high pressure hose can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, or abuse. Inspect the hose each time before
using it. Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of
cover, damage or movement of couplings. If any of
these conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.

DANGER! Water spraying from a leak is

capable of injecting material into skin. Inspect
hose each time before using it. Never repair a
high pressure hose. Replace it with another
hose that meets the maximum pressure rating
of your pressure washer.

Check Gun and Adjustable Nozzle
Extension

Examine the hose connection to the gun and make
sure it is secure. Test the trigger by pressing it and
making sure it springs back into place when you
release it. Put the safety latch in the ON position and
test the trigger. You should not be able to press the
trigger.

Check In-Line Filter

Refer to Figure 16 and service the in-line filter if it
becomes clogged, as follows:

1. Detach gun and lance from high pressure hose.

Detach lance from gun and remove o-ring and
screen from lance. Flush the screen, gun, and
lance with clean water to clear debris.

2. If the screen is damaged, the o-ring kit contains a

replacement in-line filter screen and an o-ring. If
undamaged, reuse screen.

3. Place the in-line filter screen into the threaded

end of the lance. Direction does not matter. Push
the screen in with the eraser end of a pencil until
it rests flat at the bottom of the opening. Take
care to not bend the screen.

4. Place the o-ring into the recess. Push the o-ring

snugly against the in-line filter screen.

5. Assemble the lance to the spray gun, as

described earlier in this manual.

Check Chemical Injection Tube

Examine the filter on the detergent hose and clean if
clogged. The tube should fit tightly on the barbed
fitting. Examine the tube for leaks or tears. Replace
the filter or tube if either is damaged.

Purge Pump of Air and
Contaminants

To remove the air from the pump, follow these
steps:

 Set up the pressure washer as described in the

Preparing the Pressure Washer for Use section

and connect the water supply.
 Remove the nozzle extension from the gun.
 Pull the trigger on the gun and hold.

To remove the contaminants from the pump,
follow these steps:

 Set up the pressure washer as described in the

HOW TO USE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER

section, and connect the water supply.
 Remove the nozzle extension from the gun.
 Start the engine according to instructions in

OPERATION section.
 Squeeze the trigger on the gun and hold.
 When the water supply is steady and constant,

engage the safety latch and refasten the nozzle

extension.

Cleaning Chemical Injection Tube

If you have used the chemical injection tube you must
flush it with clean water before stopping the engine.

 Place the chemical injection tube in a bucket full of

clean water.
 Flush for 12 minutes.
 Shut off the engine.

Important: Simply shutting OFF engine will not
release pressure in the system. When the engine

has shut down, squeeze the trigger on the gun to
relieve the pressure in the hose.

Nozzle Maintenance

If the adjustable nozzle becomes restricted or
clogged with foreign materials, such as dirt, excessive
pump pressure may develop. If this nozzle becomes
partially clogged, it can cause a pulsing sensation
during use. This generally is not a pump related
problem, but rather a clogged or partially restricted
adjustable nozzle.

If the adjustable nozzle becomes clogged or partially
restricted, immediately clean the nozzle with the kit
included with your pressure washer by following
these instructions:

 Shut off the engine and turn off the water supply.
 Separate the wand extension from the gun.
 Adjust the wand extension to the stream position.
 Remove nozzle from the end of the wand extension

(Figure 16) using a 2mm or 5/64 allen wrench (like
the one included in the kit).

 Use the wire included in the kit (Figure 16) or a

small paper clip to free the foreign materials
clogging or restricting the nozzle.

flush between 30 to 60 seconds. Turn wand
extension to stream spray and move nozzle from
low to high while flushing.

 Reinstall nozzle into the wand extension. DO NOT

over tighten.
 Reconnect the wand extension to the gun.
 Reconnect the water supply, turn on the water, and

start the engine.
 Test the pressure washer by operating with nozzle

in the high and in the low position.

ORing Maintenance

Through the normal operation of your pressure
washer, orings, which keep the connections of the
hoses and gun tight and leakfree, may become worn
or damaged.

Provided with your pressure washer is an ORing
Maintenance Kit (p/n B3057) which provides
replacement o-rings, rubber washer and water inlet
filter.

To remove a worn or damaged oring:

 Use a small flathead screwdriver to get underneath

the o-ring and pry it off.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

See the Engine Owners Manual for instructions on
how to properly maintain the engine.

PREPARING UNIT FOR
STORAGE

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of
time. Sediments of minerals can deposit on pump
parts and freeze pump action. If you do not plan to
use the pressure washer for more than 30 days,
follow this procedure:

1. Flush chemical injection tube by placing the filter
into a pail of clean water while running pressure
washer in low pressure (adjustable nozzle in
forward position). Flush for one to two minutes.

2. Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove all
hoses.

3. Place the throttle lever in STOP position.

WARNING! Be sure lever is in STOP

position before you continue. If you start
engine without proper water supply connected,
you can damage pump.

4. Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling
the recoil handle about 6 times. This should
remove most of the liquid in the pump.

NOTE: To protect the unit from freezing temperatures,
draw RV antifreeze (no alcohol) into the pump by
pouring the antifreeze into a 3foot section of garden
hose connected to inlet adapter and pulling recoil
handle twice.

5. Store in a clean, dry area.

STORING THE ENGINE

See the Engine Owners Manual for instructions on
how to properly store the engine.
