Generac Portable Products 3200PSI High Pressure Washer
Check High Pressure Hose
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.
DANGER!
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.
Check Gun and Nozzle Extension
Examine the hose connection to the gun and make
sure it is secure. Test the trigger by pressing it and
making sure it springs back into place when you
release it. Put the safety latch in the ON position and
test the trigger. You should not be able to press the
trigger.
Check In-Line Filter
Refer to Figure 15 and service the in-line filter if it
becomes clogged, as follows:
1. Detach gun and lance from high pressure hose.
Detach lance from gun and remove o-ring and
screen from lance. Flush the screen, gun, and
lance with clean water to clear debris.
2. If the screen is damaged, the o-ring kit contains a
replacement in-line filter screen and an o-ring. If
undamaged, reuse screen.
3. Place the in-line filter screen into the threaded
end of the lance. 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.
4. Place the o-ring into the recess. Push the o-ring
snugly against the in-line filter screen.
5. Assemble the lance to the spray gun, as
described earlier in this manual.
Check Chemical Injection Tube
Examine the filter on the detergent hose 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.
Purge Pump of Air and
Contaminants

• Set up the pressure washer as described in the

To remove the contaminants from the pump, follow

HOW TO USE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
section, and connect the water supply.
• Remove the nozzle extension from the gun.
• Start the engine according to instructions in
OPERATION section.
• Squeeze the trigger on the gun and hold.
• When the water supply is steady and constant,
engage the safety latch and refasten the nozzle

Cleaning Chemical Injection Tube
If you have used the chemical injection tube you must
flush it with clean water before stopping the engine.
• Place the chemical injection tube in a bucket full of
clean water.
• 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.
