Generac Portable Products 2700PSI High Pressure Washer
Applying Detergent
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could
damage the pump.
To apply detergent follow these steps:
Prepare the detergent solution as required by
chemical manufacturer. See chemical bottle for any
instructions
Hang the detergent solution on J hook of the
wireform on the handle.
Place small filter end of the chemical injecting tube
into the detergent container (Figure 11).
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.
Open the chemical valve handle (Figure 12).
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 (see ASSEMBLY section
starting on page 6), and start engine.
Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting from the
bottom and working up to avoid streaking.
Allow the detergent to soak in for 3-5 minutes
before washing and rinsing. Reapply to prevent
surface from drying.
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:
Remove the chemical injector hose from the
chemical bottle to stop detergent from flowing.
Spray until the detergent has cleared from the gun.
Turn the chemical valve handle clockwise fully until
it stops. This puts the gun into high pressure mode.
Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area
you plan to spray.
Apply a high pressure spray to a 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.
Figure 11 Insert the small filter into container of
cleaning solution.
