Hazard

The electronic start/stop button on the pressure washer can malfunction and self-start, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to carbon monoxide poisoning, if the unit is in a confined space.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pressure washer and contact Generac to arrange for a free repair at your dealer's location. The pressure washer can still be used with the battery removed by using the pull-start option to start the unit.

The text above is quoted verbatim from the CPSC record. Confirm the affected units and the remedy with the manufacturer or CPSC. Recall data may be incomplete, delayed, or superseded.
