Generac Portable Products 2,100 PSI High Pressure Washer 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. Never move the machine by pulling on the high pressure 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. 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. Operate and store this unit on a stable surface. Do Not by–pass any safety device on this machine. 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. 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. Do Not secure the spray gun in the open position. 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 exceeds maximum pressure rating of your unit. 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. Never aim the spray 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. 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. 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.

In the State of California a spark arrester is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. Always wear eye protection when you use this equipment or when you are in the vicinity where the equipment is in use. High pressure spray can cause paint chips or other particles to become airborne. NOTE: If you equip the muffler with a spark arrester, it must be maintained in effective working order. You can order a spark arrester through your authorized Briggs and Stratton service dealer. Do Not operate the pressure washer above the rated pressure. 3
