To Start You r Pressu re 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.
. Place the pressure washer in an area close enough to an
outside water source capable of supplying water at a flow
rate greater than 2.2 gallons per minute.
. Check that the high pressure hose is tightly connected to
the spray gun and to the pump. See "Preparing Pressure
Washer For Use" for illustrations.
o Hake sure unit is in a level position.
° Connect the garden hose to the water inlet on the
pressure washer pump. Turn ON the water.
CAUTION! Do Not run the pump without the water
supply connected and turned on.You must follow this
caution or the pump will be damage&
°Squeeze trigger on gun until you have a steady stream of
water.This purges the pump of air and impurities.
. Attach nozzle extension to spray gun (Figure I I).Tighten
by hand.
o Position the nozzle in the low pressure mode (slide
nozzle forward) and squeeze the trigger on the spray gun
to relieve pressure caused by turning ON the water.
VVater will flow out of the gun in a thin stream. Continue
to hold trigger until there is a steady stream of water
and no air remains in the system. Release the trigger.
° Engage the safety latch to the spray gun triger
(Figure 12).
o Hove the throttle lever to "Fast" position, shown here
as a rabbit (Figure 13).
Throttl Choke Lever
o Hove the choke lever to the "Choke" position
(Figure 13).
NOTE: For a warm engine, be sure the choke lever is in
the "P_un" position.
o Place your left foot on the lower frame and grasp the

trigger. It wiHHtake a few seconds for the detergent to
clear.
NOTE:You can aHsostop detergent from flowing by simpHy
removing detergent siphon tube from botde.
, Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area you

"AppHy a high pressure spray to a smaHHarea, then check
the surface for damage. If no damage is found, it is okay
to continue rinsing.
°Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working down
with same overHappingstrokes as you used for cHeaning.
Automatic Cool Down System
(Thermam Remief}
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3=5minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray gun,
circuHating water in the pump can reach a temperature
between H25°-H 55°EWhen the water reaches this
temperature, the automatic cool down system engages and
cooHs the pump by discharging the warm water onto
the ground. This system prevents internaH damage to the
pump.

O-Rin 8 Maintenance
Through the normal operation of your pressure washen
o-rings, which keep the connections of the hoses and spray
gun tight and leak-free, may become worn or damaged.
Provided with your pressure washer is an O-Ring
Haintenance Kit which includes rephcement o-rings, rubber
washer and water inlet filter. Refer to the instruction sheet
provided in the kit to service your unit's o-rings. Note that
not all of the parts in the kit will be used on your unit.
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.
CAUTION! Avoid prolonged or repeated skin
contact with used motor oil. Used motor oil has
been shown to causeskin cancer in certain
laboratory animag.ThorougNy wash exposed areas
with soap and water.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON'T
POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES. RETURN
USED OILTO COLLECTION CENTERS.
PREPARING THE UNIT
FOR ,STORAGE
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of
time. Sediments or 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:
I. Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter into
a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in
low pressure mode (adjustable nozzle in the forward
position). Flush for one to two minutes.
2. Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove high
pressure and garden hoses. Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug.
3. 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.
4. Use Generac brand PumpSaver to prevent corrosion
build up and freezing of pump.
5. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
Protecting the Pum
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use the Generac PumpSaver to treat
pump.This prevents freeze damage and lubricates pistons
and seals.
NOTE: Generac PumpSaver, model number 01559, is available
as an optional accessory. It is not included with the pressure
