damage detergent siphoning tube.
5. Verify black detergent nozzle is installed.
NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with high-
pressure nozzle (White, Green or Red). Only
use black nozzle with detergent.
6. Start engine.
7. Apply detergent to a dry surface. Start at
lower portion of area to be washed and
work upward using long, even,
overlapping strokes.
IMPORTANT: Flush the detergent siphoning
system after each use. Contact an authorized
dealer or qualified service center with
questions.
Rinsing
1. Remove black detergent nozzle from
lance.
2. Select and install desired high-pressure
nozzle.
3. Point spray gun in safe direction and
squeeze trigger to flush remaining
detergent from system.
4. Keep spray gun a safe distance from area
you plan to spray.
5. Spray gun may kick back when using high
pressure spray. To avoid injury, firmly
grasp spray gun with both hands.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
10 Owner’s Manual for Power Washer
Section 4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Maintenance Recommendations
Regular maintenance will improve
performance and extend engine/equipment
life. Generac Power Systems, Inc.
recommends that all maintenance work be
performed by an Independent Authorized
Service Dealer (IASD). Regular maintenance,
replacement or repair of the emissions control
devices and systems may be performed by
any repair shop or person of the owner’s
choosing. However, to obtain emissions
control warranty service free of charge, the
work must be performed by an IASD. See the
emissions warranty.
Power washer warranty does not cover items
subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full warranty value, operator must
maintain power washer as instructed in this
manual, including proper storage as detailed
in Storage.
NOTE: Call 1-888-GENERAC (1-888-436-
3722) with questions about component
replacement.
NOTE: All required service and adjustments
should be each season, as detailed in
Maintenance Schedule.
Maintenance Schedule
Follow maintenance schedule intervals,
whichever occurs first according to use.
NOTE: Adverse conditions will require more
frequent service.
* Clean if clogged. Replace if perforated or torn.
** Service more often under dirty or dusty
conditions.
Pump Oil
DO NOT attempt any oil maintenance on
pump. Pump is lubricated and sealed at
factory. No additional maintenance is required
for life of pump.
Preventive Maintenance
Dirt or debris can cause improper operation
and equipment damage. Clean power washer
daily or before each use. Keep area around
and behind muffler free from combustible
debris. Inspect all cooling air openings on
power washer.
Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces
clean.
DO NOT insert any objects through cooling
air openings.
Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on
dirt, oil, etc.
Use a vacuum to pick up loose dirt and
debris.
Inspect and Clean Inlet Screen
Inspect inlet screen on pump water inlet.
Clean clogged screen and replace screen if
damaged.
Inspect High-Pressure Hoses
High-pressure hoses can develop leaks from
wear, kinking, or abuse. Inspect hoses before
each use. Inspect for cuts, leaks, abrasions,
bulging, and damage or movement of
couplings. If these conditions exist, replace
hose immediately.
NOTE: DO NOT repair high-pressure hose.
Replace with hose that meets or exceeds
maximum pressure rating of unit.
Inspect Detergent Siphoning Tube
Inspect filter on detergent tube and clean if
clogged. Tube should fit tightly on barbed
fitting. Examine tube for leaks or tears.
Replace filter or tube if either is damaged.
Inspect Spray Gun
NOTE: Replace spray gun immediately if it
fails any test steps.

1. Turn engine and water supply OFF.
NOTE: Keep high-pressure hose connected
to pump and spray gun while system is
pressurized.
2. Relieve spray gun water pressure.
3. Remove nozzle from lance.
4. See Figure 4-2. Use a paper clip to remove
debris.
5. See Figure 4-3. Remove lance from spray
gun and back flush thoroughly.
6. Install nozzle on lance.
7. Install lance on spray gun.
Figure 4-2.Remove Debris
Figure 4-3.Back Flush Lance
8. Verify hose is connected to pump water
inlet, and high-pressure hose is connected
to spray gun and pump.
9. Turn water ON.
10. Start engine.
11. Test power washer by operating with each
quick connect nozzle.
Engine Maintenance
Engine Oil Recommendations
To maintain the product warranty, the engine oil
should be serviced in accordance with the
recommendations of this manual. For your
convenience, Generac Maintenance Kits are
available that include engine oil, oil filter, air
filter, spark plug(s), a shop towel and funnel.
These kits can be obtained from an
Independent Authorized Service Dealer (IASD).
Only high-quality detergent oils classified for
service SJ or higher are recommended. DO
NOT use special additives.
Climate determines proper engine oil
viscosity. See chart to select correct viscosity.
Figure 4-4. Oil Viscosity
* Below 50°F (10°C) use of SAE 30 will result
in hard start.
** Above 80°F (27°C) use of 10W30 may
cause increased oil consumption. Inspect oil
level more frequently.
Inspect Engine Oil Level
Inspect engine oil level prior to each use, or
every 8 hours of operation.
1. Place power washer on a level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill.
3. See Figure 4-5. Remove oil fill cap and
wipe dipstick clean.
Figure 4-5. Engine Oil Fill
4. See Figure 4-6. Screw dipstick into filler
neck.Verify proper oil level on dipstick.
Figure 4-6. Oil Level
5. Add recommended engine oil as
necessary.
6. Replace oil fill cap and hand-tighten.
NOTE: Some units have more than one oil fill
location. It is only necessary to use one oil fill
point.

Storage
General
DO NOT place a storage cover on a hot
power washer. Allow unit to cool to room
temperature before storage.
DO NOT store fuel from one season to
another unless properly treated.
Replace fuel container if rust is present.
Rust in fuel will cause fuel system
problems.
Cover unit with a suitable protective,
moisture resistant cover.
Store unit in a clean and dry area.
Always store power washers and fuel away
from heat and ignition sources.
Prepare Fuel System for Storage
Fuel stored over 30 days can go bad and
damage fuel system components. Keep fuel
fresh, use fuel stabilizer.
If fuel stabilizer is added to fuel system,
prepare and run engine according to Power
Washer Start-Up. Run engine for 2 minutes to
circulate stabilizer throughout fuel system.
Adequately prepared fuel can be stored up to
24 months.
NOTE: If fuel has not been treated with fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved
container. Run engine until it stops from lack
of fuel. Use of fuel stabilizer in fuel storage
container is recommended to keep fuel fresh.
Prepare Engine for Storage
1. Change engine oil.
2. Remove spark plug.
3. Pour a tablespoon (5-10cc) of clean
engine oil or spray a suitable fogging
agent into cylinder.
4. Pull starter recoil several times to
distribute oil in cylinder.
5. Install spark plug.
6. Pull recoil slowly until resistance is felt.
This will close valves so moisture cannot
enter engine cylinder. Gently release
recoil.
(000108)
WARNING
Hot Surfaces. When operating machine, do not
touch hot surfaces. Keep machine away from
combustibles during use. Hot surfaces
could result in severe burns or fire.

DANGER
Explosion and Fire. Fuel and vapors are
extremely flammable and explosive. Add fuel
in a well ventilated area. Keep fire and spark
away. Failure to do so will result in death
or serious injury.
(000109)
WARNING
Risk of Fire. Verify machine has properly
cooled before installing cover and storing
machine. Hot surfaces could result in fire.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
14 Owner’s Manual for Power Washer
Change Oil
Change engine oil before storage. See
Change Engine Oil.
Prepare Pump for Storage
NOTE: If not using power washer for more
than 30 days, prepare engine and pump for
storage.
Protect unit from freezing temperatures.
Failure to do so will permanently damage
pump and render unit inoperable. Freeze
damage is not covered under warranty.
Protect unit from freezing temperatures as
follows:
1. Shut engine OFF.
2. Turn fuel valve to OFF.
3. Turn water supply OFF.
4. Point spray gun in a safe direction, and
squeeze trigger to relieve trapped
pressure.
5. Let engine cool.
6. Disconnect hoses from spray gun and
high-pressure outlet on pump. Drain water
from hoses, spray gun, and lance. Use a
rag to wipe off components.
7. Empty pump of all remaining liquids.
8. Pull recoil handle approximately six times
to remove remaining liquid from pump.
9. Winterize pump with Generac Pump
Shield™ (P/N 0L2414). This minimizes
freeze damage and lubricates pistons and
seals.
NOTE: If Generac Pump Shield™ is not
available, connect a 3 ft (1 m) section of
garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour RV-
antifreeze (alcohol free antifreeze) into hose.
Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect hose.
Store unit in a clean and dry area.
