Generac 3000PSI  High Pressure Washer

GENER

A

C

CAUTION:  Always disconnect spark plug wire and place wire where it cannot contact spark

plug to prevent accidental starting when setting up, transporting, adjusting or making repairs

to your high pressure washer.

• Engine exhaust gases contain DEADLY carbon monoxide gas.

This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can

cause unconsciousness or even death. Operate this equipment

only in the open air where adequate ventilation is available.

• Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE.

Do not permit smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the vicin-

ity while handling gasoline. Avoid spilling gasoline on a hot engine.

Allow unit to cool for 2 minutes before refueling. Comply with all

laws regulating storage and handling of gasoline.

• Locate this pressure washer in areas away from combustible

materials, combustible fumes or dust.

• The high pressure equipment is designed to be used with Gen-

erac authorized parts only. If you use this equipment with parts

that do not comply with minimum specifications, the user assumes

all risks and liabilities.

• Some chemicals or detergents may be harmful if inhaled or

ingested, causing severe nausea, fainting or poisoning. The harm-

ful elements may cause property damage or severe injury.

• Do not allow CHILDREN to operate the Pressure Washer at any

time.

• Operate engine only at governed speed. Running the engine at

excessive speeds increases the hazard of personal injury. Do not

tamper with parts which may increase or decrease the governed

speed.

• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry or anything that may be

caught in the starter or other rotating parts.

• Before starting the Pressure Washer in cold weather, check all

parts of the equipment and be sure ice has not formed there.

• Units with broken or missing parts, or without protective housing

or covers should NEVER be operated.

• The muffler and air cleaner must be installed and in good condi-

tion before operating the Pressure Washer. These components

act as spark arrestors if the engine backfires.

• 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 spray flammable liquids.
• Never aim the gun at people, animals or plants.
• High pressure spray can cause paint chips or other particles to

become airborne and fly at high speeds.

• The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces

can pierce skin and its underlying tissues, leading to serious

injury and possible amputation.

• Always wear eye protection when you use this equipment or

when you are in the vicinity where the equipment is in use.

• Never move the machine by pulling on the high pressure hose.

Use the handle provided on the top of the unit.

• Always be certain the spray gun, nozzles and accessories are cor-

rectly attached.

• Never use a spray gun which does not have a trigger lock or trig-

ger guard in place and in working order.

• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors

may be inhaled. Read all instructions with mask so you are cer-

tain the mask will provide the necessary protection against inhaling

harmful vapors.

• High pressure spray may damage fragile items including glass.

Do not point spray gun at glass when in the high pressure spray

mode.

• Keep the hose connected to machine and the spray gun while

the system is pressurized. Disconnecting the hose while the unit

is pressurized is dangerous.

• 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.

• The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and drainage to

reduce the possibility of a fall due to slippery surfaces.

• Keep water spray away from electric wiring or fatal electric shock

may result.

• Do not secure trigger gun in the pull-back (open) position.
• 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 muf-

fler or engine or you could be severely burned.

• Operate and store this unit on a stable surface.
• 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.

• 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 move-

ment of couplings. If any of these conditions exist, replace hose

immediately. Never repair high pressure hose. Replace it with

another hose that meets minimum pressure rating of your pres-

sure washer.

The engine exhaust from this product

contains chemicals known to the State

of California to cause cancer, birth

defects, or other reproductive harm.
