damage the cleaning surface.
 Do not get closer than 6 inches when cleaning
automobile tires.
Clean ng and Apply ng Chem cal
WARNING! 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.
IMPORTANT: Use soaps des gned spec f cally for
pressure washers. Household detergents could
damage the pump.
To apply detergent follow these steps:
Attach the detergent pick-up tube to the pump
(Figure 16). (The attachment is next to the high
pressure outlet.)
 Prepare the detergent solution as required by the
manufacturer.
CAUTION! Keep the chemical in ection tube
from coming in contact with the hot muffler.
This will damage the chemical in ection tube.
When inserting the filter into the chemical
bottle, route the tube so as to keep it from
inadvertently contacting the hot muffler.
Figure 16  Detergent pick-up tube attachment
Figure 15  Using the Pressure Regulator

13
Generac Portable Products 3200 PSI Pressure Washer
 Place small filter of the clear detergent siphoning tube
into the detergent container (Figure 17).
IMPORTANT: Detergent cannot be applied without
water source turned ON.
 Open the ad usting knob fully on the gun by turning it
counterclockwise (Figure 18).
 Make sure the garden hose is connected to the water
inlet. Check that the high pressure hose is connected
to the spray gun and the pump and start the engine.
 Apply the detergent to a dry surface, starting at the
lower portion of the area to be washed and work
upward, using long, even, overlapping strokes. Do not
allow the detergent to dry. This will prevent streaking.
 Allow the detergent to soak in between 3-5 minutes
before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to
prevent surface from drying.
Note: You cannot ad ust the concentration of the
chemical.
Pressure Washer R ns ng
WARNING! Be extreamly 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.
Note: If you get the spray nozzle too close, you may
damage the cleaning surface.
 Initially clean a small area and then check the surface
for damage. If no damage is found, You can assume it
is okay to continue cleaning.
 For rinsing, close the ad ustment knob fully and wait for
detergent to clear. Start at the top of area to be rinsed,
working down with the same action as for cleaning.
 You can also stop detergent from flowing by simply
removing siphon from bottle.
Automat c Cool Down System
(also known as Thermal Rel ef)
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
between 140°-145°F. When the water reaches this
temperature, the automatic cool down system engages
and cools the pump by d scharg ng the warm water
onto the base and 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 sub ected 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 ad ustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your high pressure washer.

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 H gh Pressure Hose
The high pressure hose can develop leaks form 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 in ecting 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 In-L ne F lter
Refer to Figure 19 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 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 Gun and Wand
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 Detergent Hose
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 ot tears. Replace the filter
or tube if either is damaged.
Purge Pump of A r and
Contam nants
To remove the a r from the pump, follow these
steps:
 Set up the pressure washer as described in Preparing
the Pressure Washer for Use (Pages 6-8) and con-
nect the water supply.
 Remove the wand extension form the gun.
 Pull the trigger on the gun and hold.
To remove the contam nants form the pump, follow

Clean ng Chem cal Inject on Tube
If you have used the chemical in ection tube you must
flush it with clean water before stopping the engine.
 Place the in ector filter into a pail of clean water while
running pressure washer with nozzle in low pressure
mode. (Ad usting knob on the gun assembly is open
fully.) Flush for five minutes.
 Shut off the engine. (See How to Stop Your Pressure
Washer on page 12).
Important: Simply shutting OFF the engine will not
release pressure in the system. When the engine has
shut down, squeeze the tr gger on the gun to rel eve
pressure n the hose.
Nozzle Ma ntenance
If the nozzle becomes restricted or clogged with foreign
materials, such as dirt, excessive pump pressure may
develop. If the nozzle becomes partially clogged, it may
cause a pulsating sensation during use. This generally
is not a pump related problem, but rather a clogged or
partially restricted nozzle.
If the 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.
 Press trigger to relieve pressure.
 Remove the lance form the gun.
