How to Start Your Engine
• Position the choke to the “Full” choke position.
The best way to start your engine-powered pressure
washer for the first time is to follow these instructions
step-by-step. You may also refer to your engine
owner’s manual. This starting information also applies
whenever you start the engine after you have let the
pressure washer sit idle for at least a day.
NOTE: For a warm engine, be sure the choke lever is
in the “No” choke position.
• Move throttle lever to “Fast” position.
• Grasp the starter grip handle and pull slowly until
you feel some resistance. Then pull rapidly to start
the engine.
• Place the pressure washer in an area close enough
to an outside water source capable of supplying
water at a flow rate greater than 3.2 gallons per
minute.
• Return the starter grip handle slowly. Do Not let
rope “snap back” against starter.
• Check that the high pressure hose is tightly
connected to the spray gun and to the pump. See
“Preparing Pressure Washer for Use” (page 5) for
illustrations.
• If the choke was placed in the “Full” choke position
to start the engine, slowly push it to the “No” choke
position as soon as the engine warms up enough to
run smoothly.
• Make sure unit is in a level position.
• If the engine fails to start, review instructions given
in the engine owner’s manual.
• Connect the garden hose to the water inlet on the
pressure washer pump. Turn on the water.
How to Stop Your Pressure Washer
CAUTION: Do Not run the pump without the
water supply connected and turned on. You
must follow this caution or the pump will be
damaged.
• Move throttle lever to “Stop” position.
• Squeeze trigger on the spray gun to relieve
pressure in the hose.
NOTE: A small amount of water will squirt out when
you release the pressure.
• Squeeze the trigger on the gun until you have a
steady stream of water. This purges the pump of air
and impurities.
How to Use the Adjustable Nozzle
• Attach the adjustable nozzle extension to the spray
gun. Tighten by hand.
You now should know how to START your pressure
washer and how to STOP it. The information in this
section will tell you how to adjust the spray pattern
and apply detergent or other cleaning chemicals.
• Position the nozzle in the low pressure mode (see
“How to Use the Adjustable Nozzle”) and squeeze
the trigger on the spray gun to relieve the air
pressure caused by turning ON the water. Water will
flow out of the gun in a thin stream. Continue to hold
trigger until there is a steady stream of water and no
air remains in the system. This will make it easier to
pull start the engine. Release the trigger.
DANGER! Never adjust spray pattern when
spraying. Never put hands in front of nozzle to
adjust spray pattern.
On the end of your spray gun is a nozzle that you can
slide forward and backward and that you can also
twist. This adjustable nozzle permits you to adjust the
8
Generac Portable Products 2300PSI High Pressure Washer
spray pattern to be either high pressure or low
pressure. You can also adjust the spray so it is
concentrated in a stream pattern or expanded into a
fan pattern.
• Twisting the nozzle adjusts the spray pattern from a
narrow pattern to a fan pattern.
• Located on the top of the pump is a pressure control
knob. You can increase and decrease the pressure
of the spray by turning the knob counterclockwise or
clockwise respectively (Figure 14).
• Slide the nozzle forward to adjust the spray to low
pressure mode (Figure 12). Slide the nozzle
backward to achieve high pressure.

location. Pressure in a running washer builds as
you climb. When you press the trigger, the recoil
from the initial spray could force you to fall. The
high pressure spray could also force you to fall
if you are too close to the cleaning surface.
• Hang the detergent solution on the hook of the
wireform attached to the handle, as shown in
Figure 15.
Figure 15 — Insert Filter into Container.
For Rinsing:
• Slide the nozzle backward to high pressure, press
the trigger and wait for the detergent to clear.
NOTE: You can also stop detergent from flowing by
simply removing detergent siphoning tube from bottle.
• Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area
you plan to spray.
• Remove the detergent siphoning tube from the clip
on the handle.
• Apply a high pressure spray to a small area, then
check the surface for damage. If no damage is
found, it is okay to continue cleaning.
• Place the filter end of the detergent siphoning tube
into the detergent container.
• Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working
down with same overlapping strokes as you used for
washing and applying detergent.
CAUTION: Keep the detergent siphoning tube
from coming in contact with the hot muffler. This
will damage the plastic tube. When inserting the
filter into a cleaning solution bottle, route the tube
so as to keep it from inadvertently contacting the
hot muffler.
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.
• Slide the adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure
mode. Detergent cannot be applied with the nozzle
in high pressure position.
• Make sure the garden hose is connected to the
water inlet. Check that the high pressure hose is
connected to the spray gun and the pump (see
“How To Use Your Pressure Washer”, page 7). Start
the engine.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
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.
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.
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.
Check Detergent Siphoning Tube
• Once a year you should clean or replace the spark
plug, clean or replace the air filter and check the gun
and adjustable 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.
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.
Check Gun and Adjustable Nozzle
Extension
BEFORE EACH USE
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.

Not overtighten.
• Reconnect the nozzle extension to the gun.
• Reconnect the water supply, turn on the water, and
start the engine.
2. Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove all
hoses. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark
plug.
• Test the pressure washer by operating with nozzle in
the high and in the low positions.
3. Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling
the recoil handle about 6 times. This should
remove most of the liquid in the pump. Insert
detegent siphoning tube into clip on handle.
O–Ring Maintenance
Through the normal operation of your pressure washer,
o–rings, which keep the connections of the hoses and
gun tight and leak–free, may become worn or
damaged.
NOTE: To protect the unit from freezing temperatures,
draw RV antifreeze (non-alcohol) into the pump by
pouring the solution into a 3-foot section of garden
hose connected to inlet adapter and pulling recoil
handle twice.
Provided with your pressure washer is an O–Ring
Maintenance Kit which includes replacement o-rings,
rubber washer and water inlet filter.
4. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
To remove a worn or damaged o–ring:
• Use a small flathead screwdriver to get underneath
the o-ring and pry it off.
STORING THE ENGINE
See the engine owner’s manual for instructions on
how to properly prepare the engine for storage.

* 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. 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.
