It’s important to mention checking for any damage or missing parts and advising them to contact customer support if anything is amiss. Also, I should remind them to refer to the parts diagram in the manual for identification.

Verify the presence of the pressure washer unit, high-pressure hose, spray gun, nozzle tips, detergent tank, and owner’s manual. Inspect each part for damage or defects. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact Generac customer support immediately. Use the parts diagram in this manual to identify and familiarize yourself with each component. Ensure all items are accounted for before proceeding with assembly. This step ensures a smooth and trouble-free setup process.”
