Generac Portable Products 2000 PSI High Pressure Washer
How to Use the Adjustable
Nozzle and Adjust Pressure
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 any other cleaning chemicals.
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 from side to side. With the adjustable nozzle you
can adjust the 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.
 Slide the nozzle forward when you wish to adjust
the spray to low pressure mode (Figure 11). Slide
the nozzle backward to achieve high pressure.
 Located on the side of the pump is a pressure
control knob. You can increase and decrease the
pressure of the spray by turning the knob clockwise
or counterclockwise respectively (Figure 12).
 Point the nozzle toward the ground and press the
trigger to test the pattern.
 Twisting the nozzle adjusts the spray pattern from a
narrow pattern to a fan pattern.
 For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle
between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning
surface.
 If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially
using high pressure mode, you may damage the
cleaning surface.
 Do not get closer than 6 inches when cleaning
automobile tires.
