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 adjusting 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 adjust the concentration of the
chemical.
Pressure Washer Rinsing
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 adjustment 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.
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 temperatures
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 base and ground. This system prevents
internal damage to the pump.
