Before Each Use; Pressure Washer Maintenance - Generac 1675-0 El Manual Del Propietario

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
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.
• Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your high pressure washer. Check the
spray gun and adjustable nozzle extension assembly for wear.
• All maintenance in this manual and the engine owner's
manual should be made at least once each season.
• Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug,
clean or replace the air filter. 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.

• Check high pressure hose for leaks.

MAINTENANCE
Check and Clean Inlet Screen
Examine the screen on the water inlet. Clean it if the
screen is clogged or replace it if screen is damaged.
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.

CAUTION!
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
exceeds the maximum pressure rating of your
pressure washer.
Check Detergent Siphoning Tube
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.
Cleaning Detergent Siphoning Tube
If you used the detergent siphoning tube, you must flush it
with clean water before stopping the engine.
• Place the chemical injection siphon/filter in a bucket full
of clean water.
• Attach the black low pressure nozzle.
• Flush for 1-2 minutes.
• Shut off the engine.
IMPORTANT: Simply shutting OFF engine will not
release pressure in the system. When the engine has
shut down, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to
relieve the pressure in the hose.
Check Gun and Nozzle Extension
Examine the hose connection to the spray 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.
Check In-Line Filter
Refer to Figure 19 and service the in-line filter if it
becomes clogged, as follows:
