I have brought a 2800W generator to run a karcher K385 pressure washer but it keep triping the breaker. HELP?

i brought the generator yesterday and was told it would run the jetwasher as it is only a 1700W but everytime i try to use it the breaker switch on the gen trips and cuts out. yeh i have a 2000W hover that runs fine on the generator. i have recently started up doing mobile car valleting so need to get this sorted asap. any help greatly appreciatedI have brought a 2800W generator to run a karcher K385 pressure washer but it keep triping the breaker. HELP?
The inrush on your washer is more than the generator can supply at it's peak voltage so the voltage drops, the current goes up and the breaker trips. Get a better washer and a larger generator.
