hose. Use the handle provided on the unit.
• Always be certain the spray gun, nozzles and accessories
are correctly attached.
• Do Not wear loose clothing, jewelry or anything that
may be caught in the starter or other rotating parts.
• Do Not secure the spray gun in the (open) position.
• High pressure spray may damage fragile items including
glass. Do Not point spray gun at glass when in the jet
spray mode.
• Before starting the pressure washer in cold weather,
check all parts of the equipment and be sure ice has not
formed there.
• Hold the spray gun firmly in your hand before you start
the unit. Failure to do so could result in an injury from a
whipping spray gun. Do Not leave the spray gun
unattended while the machine is running.
• Never use a spray gun which does not have a trigger
lock or trigger guard in place and in working order.
• Keep the hose connected to machine or the spray gun
while the system is pressurized. Disconnecting the hose
while the unit is pressurized is dangerous.
• The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and
drainage to reduce the possibility of a fall due to slippery
surfaces.
• Never operate units with broken or missing parts, or
without protective housing or covers.
• Keep water spray away from electric wiring or fatal
electric shock may result.
• Check the fuel system for leaks or signs of deterioration,
such as chafed or spongy hose, loose or missing clamps,
or damaged tank or cap. Correct all defects before
operating the pressure washer.
• Do Not by–pass any safety device on this machine.
• The muffler and engine heat up during operation and
remain hot immediately after shutting it down. Avoid
contact with a hot muffler or engine as you could be
severely burned.
• Do Not spray flammable liquids.
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance
that vapors may be inhaled. Read all instructions with
mask so you are certain the mask will provide the
necessary protection against inhaling harmful vapors.
• Operate and store this unit on a stable surface.
• High pressure hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking,
abuse, etc. Water spraying from a leak is capable of
injecting material into skin. Inspect hose each time before
using it. Check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasions or
bulging of cover, or damage or movement of couplings. If
any of these conditions exist, replace hose immediately.
Never repair high pressure hose. Replace it with
another hose that meets maximum pressure rating of
your unit.
• Never aim the gun at people, animals or plants. The high
pressure stream of water that this equipment produces
can pierce skin and its underlying tissues, leading to
serious injury and possible amputation.
• Never allow any part of the body to come in contact
with the fluid stream. Do Not come in contact with a
fluid stream created by a leak in the high pressure hose.
• Always wear eye protection when you use this
equipment or when you are in the vicinity where the
equipment is in use.
• The muffler and air cleaner must be installed and in good
condition before operating the pressure washer. These
components act as spark arresters if the engine backfires.
• High pressure spray can cause paint chips or other
particles to become airborne.
In the State of California a spark arrestor is required by law
(Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code).
Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on
federal lands.
• Do Not operate the pressure washer above the rated
pressure.
NOTE: If you equip the muffler with a spark arrestor, it
must be maintained in effective working order. You can
order a replacement spark arrestor through your
authorized Honda service dealer.

• Apply a high pressure spray to a small area and then
check the surface for damage. If no damage is found, you
Pressure Washer Rinsing
can assume it is okay to continue cleaning.
WARNING! Be extremely careful if you must
use the pressure washer from a ladder, scaffolding
or any other relatively unstable location. Hose
water pressure builds as you climb. When you press
the trigger, the recoil from the initial spray can be
very strong. The high pressure spray could force
you to fall if you are too close to the cleaning
surface.
• 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
(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 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 ground. This system prevents internal damage to the
pump.
After you have applied detergent, scour the surface
and rinse it clean as follows:
• Apply safety latch to spray gun.
• Remove the black chemical nozzle from the nozzle
extension.
• Select and install the desired high pressure nozzle
following the instructions “How to Use the Nozzles” on

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
The pressure washer warranty does not cover items that
have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty, the operator must
maintain the high pressure washer as instructed in this
manual.
The high pressure hose can develop leaks from 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.
WARNING! Water spraying from a leak is
capable of injecting 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.
• Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your high pressure washer.
• All maintenance in this manual and the engine owner’s
manual should be made at least once each season.
• Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug,
clean or replace the air filter and check the gun and
nozzle extension assembly for wear. A new spark plug
and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and
help your engine run better and last longer. Please refer
to your engine owner’s manual for more details.
Check Detergent Siphoning Tube
Examine the filter on the detergent tube and clean if
clogged. The tube should fit tightly on the barbed fitting.
Examine the tube for leaks or tears. Replace the filter or
tube if either is damaged.
BEFORE EACH USE
Cleaning Detergent Siphoning Tube
If you used the detergent siphoning tube, you must flush it
with clean water before stopping the engine.
• Check engine oil level.
• Check water inlet screen for damage.
• Check in-line filter for damage.
• Place the chemical injection siphon/filter in a bucket full
of clean water.
• Check high pressure hose for leaks.
• Check detergent siphoning tube and filter for damage.
• Check gun, nozzle extension, and nozzles for leaks.
• Rinse out garden hose to flush out debris.
• Attach the black low pressure nozzle.
• Flush for 1-2 minutes.
• Shut off the engine.
IMPORTANT: Simply shutting OFF engine will not
release pressure in the system. When the engine has
shut down, squeeze the trigger on the gun to
relieve the pressure in the hose.

replacement in-line filter screen and an o-ring. If
undamaged, reuse screen.
If a nozzle become clogged or partially restricted,
immediately clean it with the kit included with your
pressure washer by following these instructions:
3. Place the in-line filter screen into the threaded end of
the nozzle extension. 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.
• Shut off the engine and turn off the water supply.

GENERAC PORTABLE PRODUCTS (hereafter referred to as the COMPANY) warrants to the original retail purchaser, the
pressure washer manufactured by the COMPANY to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the period(s)
set forth below from the date of original purchase. This warranty is not transferable. The term “original purchaser” means
the person for whom the pressure washer is originally purchased.

* NOTE: For the purpose of this warranty “consumer” use means personal residential household use by
original purchaser. “Commercial” use means all other uses, including rental, construction, commercial and
income producing purposes. Once a pressure washer has experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter be
considered a commercial use pressure washer for the purposes of this warranty.
During said warranty period, the COMPANY will, at its option, repair or replace any part which, upon examination by the
COMPANY or COMPANY-Authorized Dealers, is found to be defective under normal use and service**. All transportation
costs under warranty, including return to the factory if necessary, are to be borne by the purchaser and prepaid by the
purchaser.
** NORMAL WEAR: As with all mechanical devices, pressure washers need periodic parts service and
replacement to perform well. This warranty does not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life
of a part or pressure washer pump.
This warranty does not include: Used products and demonstration equipment. Parts, such as GUNS, HOSES, WANDS,
NOZZLES or other wear items such as quick couplers, oil, gauges, belts, o-rings, filters, pump packing, etc. Pumps which
have been run without water supplied. Damage or malfunctions resulting from: accidents, abuse, modifications, alterations,
or improper servicing. Freezing or chemical deterioration. Normal maintenance such as adjustments, fuel system cleaning
and obstruction (due to chemical, dirt, carbon or lime, etc.).
THIS WARRANTY IS IN PLACE OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, SPECIFICALLY,
THE COMPANY MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHICH CANNOT BE
DISCLAIMED IS LIMITED TO THE TIME PERIOD AS SPECIFIED IN THE EXPRESS WARRANTY. LIABILITY
FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES IS
EXCLUDED, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF THE COMPANY'S NEGLIGENCE. THE
COMPANY ALSO DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES SUCH AS THE LOSS OF TIME OR THE USE OF THE POWER EQUIPMENT, OR ANY
COMMERCIAL LOSS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE EQUIPMENT: AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES
ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
For service, see your nearest COMPANY-Authorized warranty service facility or call 1-877-544-0982. Warranty service can
be performed only by a COMPANY-Authorized service facility. This warranty will not apply to service at any other facility.
At the time of requesting warranty service, evidence of original purchase date must be presented.
