Also, experience indicates that alcohol–blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. • Before you connect your garden hose to the water inlet, inspect the inlet screen (Figure 5). Clean the screen if it contains debris or have it replaced if damaged. DO NOT RUN THE PRESSURE WASHER IF THE SCREEN IS DAMAGED. Figure 5 — Connect the Garden Hose to Water Inlet Inspect inlet screen, Do Not use if damaged; clean if dirty. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See “Storage” on page 12. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. Connect Hose and Water Supply to Pump IMPORTANT: You must assemble the nozzle extension to the spray gun and attach all hoses before you start the engine. Starting engine without all hoses connected and water supplied will damage the pump. • Run water through your garden hose for 30 seconds to clean out any debris. IMPORTANT: Do Not siphon standing water for the water supply. Use ONLY cold water (less than 100°F). • Uncoil the high pressure hose and attach one end of the hose to the base of the spray gun (Figure 3).Tighten by hand. • Connect the garden hose to the water inlet.Tighten by hand (Figure 5). • Attach the other end of the high pressure hose to the CAUTION!

Figure 6 — Connect Nozzle Extension to Spray Gun Review the unit’s assembly to ensure you have performed all of the following. • Check that oil has been added to the proper level in the engine crankcase. • Add the proper gasoline to fuel tank. • 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 spray 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. • Check for properly tightened hose connections (high pressure and water supply) and that there are no kinks, cuts, or damage to the high pressure hose. • Provide a proper water supply at an adequate flow. • Be sure to read "Safety Rules" and "How To Use Your Pressure Washer" before using the pressure washer. HOW TO USE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER • Engage the safety latch to the spray gun trigger (Figure 7). Figure 7 — Spray Gun with Safety Latch Engaged If you have any problems operating your pressure washer, please contact the local Snapper service center. Safety Latch How to Start Your Pressure Washer To start your pressure washer for the first time, follow these instructions step-by-step.This starting information also applies if you have let the pressure washer sit idle for at least a day. • Rotate the choke knob to the “Choke” position (Figure 8). Figure 8 — Choke Knob • Place the pressure washer in an area close enough to an outside water source capable of supplying water at a flow rate greater than 2.8 gallons per minute. • Check that the high pressure hose is tightly connected to the spray gun and to the pump. See “Preparing Pressure Washer for Use” for illustrations. • Make sure unit is in a level position. • Connect the garden hose to the water inlet on the pressure washer pump. Turn ON the water. NOTE: For a warm engine, be sure the choke knob is in the “Run” position. CAUTION! Do Not run the pump without the water • Move the throttle lever to “Fast” position, shown on unit as a rabbit (Figure 9). supply connected and turned on.You must follow this caution or the pump will be damaged. • Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun until you have a steady stream of water.This purges the pump of air and impurities. 7 Snapper 2400 PSI Pressure Washer Figure 9 — Throttle Lever Fast Figure 10 — Adjusting Nozzle for Pressure Stop • Grasp the starter grip handle and pull slowly until you feel some resistance.Then pull rapidly to start the engine. • Return the starter grip handle slowly. Do Not let rope “snap back” against starter. Slide nozzle backward for High Pressure Mode Slide nozzle forward for low pressure mode and detergent application • Point the nozzle down towards a firm surface and press the trigger to test the pattern (Figure 11). • Slowly rotate choke knob to the “Run” position as engine warms and runs smoothly. Figure 11 — Testing the Spray Pattern NOTE: Always keep the throttle lever in the “Fast” position when operating the pressure washer. • If the engine fails to start, review instructions given in the engine owner’s manual. How to Stop Your Pressure Washer • Move the throttle lever to the “Slow” position (indicated on the engine as a turtle). • Let the engine idle for two minutes. • Move the throttle lever to the “Stop” position (fully to the right as you face the lever). • 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. • Twisting the nozzle adjusts the spray pattern from a narrow pattern to a fan pattern (Figure 12). Figure 12 — Adjusting the Nozzle for Spray Pattern How to Use the Adjustable Nozzle 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 to apply detergent or other cleaning chemicals. Rotate nozzle counterclockwise for fan spray pattern WARNING! Never adjust spray pattern when spraying. Never put hands in front of nozzle to adjust spray pattern. Rotate nozzle clockwise for narrow spray pattern • For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface. • Slide the nozzle forward when you wish to adjust the spray to low pressure mode (Figure 10). Slide the nozzle backward to achieve high pressure. • If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially using high pressure mode, you may damage the surface being cleaned. • Do Not get closer than 8 inches when cleaning tires. 8 Snapper 2400 PSI Pressure Washer How to Use the Turbo Nozzle • Allow the detergent to "soak in" for 3-5 minutes before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent surface from drying. Do Not allow the detergent to dry on (prevents streaking). The turbo nozzle rotates the high pressure stream in a rapid circular pattern.The high pressure spray is most effective when the tip of the nozzle extension is held between 8 to 24 inches from the surface being cleaned. IMPORTANT: You must flush the chemical injection system after each use by placing the filter into a bucket of clean water, then run the pressure washer in low pressure for 1-2 minutes. Always start the turbo nozzle at a distance, gradually getting closer to the surface until you get the cleaning force you want. Pressure Washer Rinsing WARNING! The turbo nozzle produces an extremely high pressure spray which is capable of removing paint and cutting holes through surfaces if held too close. Always make sure the surface you will clean will not be damaged by the high pressure spray by testing in a hidden area. WARNING! Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from a ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively unstable location. Pressure in a running washer builds as you climb.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. NOTE: You cannot apply detergent with the turbo nozzle. Applying Detergent with the Adjustable Nozzle For Rinsing: • Slide the nozzle backward to high pressure, press the trigger and wait for the detergent to clear. IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for pressure washers. Household detergents could damage the pump. NOTE: You can also stop detergent from flowing by simply removing detergent siphoning tube from bottle. CAUTION! You must attach all hoses before you start the engine. Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and without the water turned ON will damage the pump. • 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. If no damage is found, it is okay to continue cleaning. To apply detergent, follow these steps: • Review the use of adjustable nozzles. • Prepare the detergent solution as required by the job. • 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 Automatic Cool Down System coming in contact with the hot muffler. (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. Start the engine. • Apply the detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower portion of area to be washed and work upward, using long, even, overlapping strokes. 9 Snapper 2400 PSI Pressure Washer SPECIFICATIONS PRESSURE WASHER MAINTENANCE Outlet Pressure . . . . . 2400 psi Flow Rate . . . . . . . . . . 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) Check and Clean Inlet Screen Detergent . . . . . . . . . .

Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with used motor oil. Used motor oil has been shown to cause skin cancer in certain laboratory animals.Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap and water. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON'T POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES. RETURN USED OIL TO COLLECTION CENTERS. Using a garden hose, remove additional debris by back flushing water through the nozzle extension (Figure 15). Back flush between 30 to 60 seconds.Turn the adjustable nozzle extension to stream spray and move the nozzle from low to high while flushing. Figure 15 — Backflushing the Nozzle PREPARING THE UNIT FOR STORAGE 6. Reinstall the nozzle and in-line filter into the nozzle extension. Do Not overtighten the nozzle with the allen wrench. 7. Reconnect the nozzle extension to the spray gun. 8. Reconnect the water supply, turn on the water, and start the engine. 9. Test the pressure washer by operating with nozzle in the high and in the low positions. Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and “freeze” pump action. If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than 30 days, follow this procedure: 1. Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter into a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in low pressure mode (adjustable nozzle in the forward position). Flush for one to two minutes. 2. Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove high pressure and garden hoses. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug. 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. 4. Use PumpSaver to treat pump.This prevents freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals. O–Ring Maintenance Through the normal operation of your pressure washer, o–rings are used to keep the connections of the hoses and spray gun tight and leak–free.These o-rings may become worn or damaged. An O–Ring Maintenance Kit is provided with your pressure washer. It includes replacement o-rings, rubber washer and water inlet filter. Refer to the instruction sheet provided in the kit to service your unit’s o-rings. Note that you will not use all of the parts in the kit. NOTE: If PumpSaver is not available, 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. To remove a worn or damaged o–ring: • Use a small flathead screwdriver to get underneath the o-ring and pry it off. 5.

About your equipment warranty: Generac Portable Products welcomes warranty repair and apologizes to you for being inconvenienced.Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty would not apply if equipment damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the serial number of the equipment has been removed or the equipment has been altered or modified. If a customer differs with the decision of the Service Dealer, an investigation will be made to determine whether the warranty applies. Ask the Service Dealer to submit all supporting facts to its Distributor for review. If the Distributor decides that the claim is justified, the customer will be fully reimbursed for those items that are defective.To avoid misunderstandings that might occur between the customer and the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of equipment failure that the warranty does not cover: Normal wear: Outdoor Power Equipment, like all mechanical devices, needs 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 the equipment. Installation and Maintenance: This warranty does not apply to equipment or parts that have been subjected to improper or unauthorized installation or alteration, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading, overspeeding, improper maintenance, repair or storage so as, in Generac Portable Products' judgment, to adversely affect its performance and reliability.This warranty also does not cover normal maintenance such as adjustments, fuel system cleaning and obstruction (due to chemical, dirt, carbon or lime, etc.). Other Exclusions: Also excluded from this warranty are wear items such as quick couplers, oil gauges, belts, o-rings, filters, pump packing, etc., pumps which have been run without water supplied or damage or malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse, modifications, alterations, or improper servicing or freezing or chemical deterioration.
