How to fix your Generac electric pressure washer when cleaning chemicals won't mix with the spray
Using the wrong spray tip to apply detergent can prevent the detergent from mixing properly with the spray. Use the low-pressure spray tip (usually the black tip) when applying detergent. A clog in the detergent siphon tube can also inhibit proper detergent mixing. Check the siphon tube for a clog and clean the tube if necessary. If the siphon tube is clear, then you'll likely need to replace the chemical injection valve on your pressure washer using a chemical injection valve replacement kit.
What to do when water sprays out of the pressure relief valve on your Generac electric pressure washer
If the pressure washer runs for more than 5 minutes when the spray wand isn't in use, the water in the pump often overheats, causing the thermal relief valve to open and discharge hot water onto the ground. When the thermal relief valve opens, cool water enters the pump and cools the system. Once the pump has cooled, the thermal relief valve closes and the pressure washer operates normally. If the pressure relief valve purges constantly and doesn't close properly, replace it.
