Common Questions
10 totalWhat are the specifications for the Greenworks 2000 PSI pressure washer?
The Greenworks 2000 PSI pressure washer operates at 120V, 60Hz with 13 amps of power. It delivers a maximum pressure of 2000 PSI with a rated flow of 1.2 GPM, has a maximum inlet water temperature of 104°F (40°C), produces 2400 cleaning units, and weighs 40.39 lbs. The power cord includes a 35-foot length with built-in GFCI protection. (Page 2)
How do I set up and assemble the Greenworks pressure washer before first use?
Assembly includes installing the wheels by inserting the axle through the wheel and frame, securing with a pin; assembling the gun holder by lining up screw sleeves and tightening with a Phillips head screwdriver; installing the handle by pushing and holding the push-pin button while sliding onto the frame; connecting the high-pressure hose to the water outlet connector and trigger gun; connecting the garden hose to the water intake; and finally connecting your desired spray tip. Before operation, run water for 120 seconds with the motor OFF to drain air from the system. (Pages 11-15)
What is the proper startup procedure for the pressure washer?
First, connect the garden hose and turn it on, then squeeze the trigger and run water with the motor OFF until a steady stream appears to drain air from the system. Ensure the On/Off switch is in the OFF position, then connect the power cord to the outlet. Press the reset button on the GFCI plug to confirm the unit is ready. Finally, rotate the switch to ON (I) position to start the motor. To stop, release the trigger and rotate the switch to OFF (O) position. (Page 18)
What spray tips are included and which one should I use for different cleaning tasks?
The pressure washer includes four spray tips: the Red 0-degree stream tip for hard, stuck-on grime with highest pressure; the Green 25-degree narrow fan tip for versatile washing without damaging surfaces; the White 40-degree wide fan tip for light or delicate cleaning like wood decks; and the Black soap tip for applying detergent at low pressure. Always try the tip in an inconspicuous area first. The Turbo Nozzle rotates in a zero to 15-degree pattern in circular motion for breaking down tough dirt. (Pages 10, 19)
How do I apply detergent or soap with the pressure washer?
Only use detergents designed specifically for pressure washers—never use household detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches, solvents, or industrial solutions as these damage the pump. Remove the detergent tank cap and pour detergent into the tank, then reinstall the cap. Install only the black 75-degree soap tip on the spray wand. Soap is applied under low pressure and high volume for optimum performance; it cannot be applied under high pressure with this machine. Squeeze the trigger to spray the detergent on dry surfaces using long, even, overlapping strokes. (Pages 16-17, 21)
Why is my pressure washer not reaching full pressure or is pulsating?
Several issues can cause low or pulsating pressure: the garden hose diameter may be too small—use a 1-inch or 5/8-inch hose instead; the water supply may be restricted—check for kinks, leaks, or blockages in the hose and open the water source fully; the water inlet filter may be clogged—remove and rinse it in warm water; or air may be in the pump—turn the unit OFF and purge the pump by squeezing the trigger until a steady water flow emerges. If pressure varies high and low, also check that no spray tip has been installed on the wand assembly. (Page 25)
