Last Page WARNING Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. WHEN ADDING FUEL · Turn pressure washer OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing gas cap. [. . . ] · Place the small filter end of the detergent siphoning tube into the detergent container (Figure 16). Figure 16 -- Insert Filter into Container. Pressure Washer Rinsing WARNING!Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from a ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively unstable location. When you press the trigger, the recoil from the initial spray could cause you to fall. The high pressure spray could also cause you to fall if you are too close to the cleaning surface. For Rinsing: · Slide the nozzle backward to high pressure and press the trigger. NOTE: You can also stop detergent from flowing by simply removing detergent siphon tube from bottle. · Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area you plan to spray. · Apply a high pressure spray to a small area, then check the surface for damage. · Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working down with same overlapping strokes as you used for cleaning. Automatic Cool Down System CAUTION!Keep the detergent siphoning tube from coming in contact with the hot muffler. Detergent cannot be applied with the nozzle in high pressure position. Check that the high pressure hose is connected to the spray gun and the pump. · Apply the detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower portion of area to be washed and work upward, using long, even, overlapping strokes. (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 a temperature between 125°­155°F. When the water reaches this temperature, the automatic cool down system engages and cools the pump by discharging the warm water onto the ground. This system prevents internal damage to the pump. 10 Generac Portable Products 2, 400 PSI High Pressure Washer SPECIFICATIONS Rated Pressure . 76 lbs.
