Generac Portable Products 1,400 PSI Electric Pressure Washer

7

• First, apply an appropriate detergent/solvent solution

to penetrate and loosen grime. 

Apply detergent at

low pressure to avoid splashing, overspraying

and waste.

Leave the solution on surface for 3 to

5 minutes to allow solution to work. Reapply as

necessary to keep surface from drying.

• The second step involves cleaning the surface you

have prepared with the pressure washer and then

rinsing it clean.

To apply detergent follow these steps:

• Detach the turbo nozzle/wand from the spray gun.
• Remove the bottle from the foamer.
• Align the locking tabs on the foamer with the

grooves in the spray gun. Push inward and twist

clockwise to lock in place (Figure 6).

NOTE:

Make sure that when you lock the foamer into

place, have the hose that goes to the foamer bottle

hanging downward.
• Prepare your detergent solution as required by the

manufacturer and fill bottle with the solution.

• Attach bottle onto foamer making sure the bottle

hangs down.

• Start washer and apply detergent to a dry surface,

starting from the bottom and working up.

• To rinse, 

YOU MUST

stop the pressure washer,

remove the foamer and connect the turbo nozzle/

wand.

NOTE:

Detergents are most effective applied to a dry

surface.

How to Use the Turbo Nozzle

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 wand is held between 8 to

24 inches from the surface being cleaned.
Always start the turbo nozzle at a distance, gradually

getting closer to the surface until you get the cleaning

force you want.

CAUTION!

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.

NOTE:

You cannot apply detergent with the turbo

nozzle.

How to Use the Utility Brush

The utility brush allows you to scrub surfaces with

water filtering through the bristles.

To attach the utility brush to the spray gun:

• Tighten the bayonet adapter to the brush base.
• Remove the turbo nozzle/wand from the spray gun if

attached.

• Attach the brush with the bayonet adapter to the

spray gun by aligning the locking tabs on the adapter

with the grooves in the spray gun. Push the brush

inward and twist clockwise to lock in place (Figure 7).

NOTE: 

You must use the bayonet adapter to attach

the brush to the spray gun.
