STORAGE
ENGINE
Refer to the engine manual for the manufacturer’s recommendations for storage.
PUMP
It is recommended that you follow these steps to protect the internal seals of the pressure washer when storing the unit for an extended period and WHEN FREEZING TEM-
PERATURES ARE EXPECTED.
NOTE: If storing the unit for more than 30 days RV antifreeze or wind- shield washer fluid needs to be run through the pump. This helps pre- vent damage within the pump head. RV antifreeze or windshield washer fluid is not only added for winteriz- ing, but for proper lubrication regardless of temperature or envi- ronment. Storing the pump less than 30 days does not require the RV antifreeze or windshield washer fluid.
1.Obtain a funnel, six ounces of RV antifreeze or windshield washer fluid, and approximately 12 inches of garden hose with a male hose connector attached to one end.
Use only RV antifreeze. Any
other antifreeze is corrosive and can damage pump.
2.Disconnect spark plug wire.
3.Disconnect high pressure hose from pump and from spray gun.
4.Connect 12 inch length of hose to water inlet of pump.
5.Add RV antifreeze or windshield washer fluid to hose as shown.
6.Pull engine starter rope slowly several times until antifreeze or windshield washer fluid comes out of high pressure hose connec- tion of pump.
7.Remove short hose from water inlet of pump.
8.Reconnect spark plug wire.
9.Drain all water from high pressure hose, coil it, and store it in cradle of the pressure washer handle.
10.Drain all water from spray gun and wand by holding spray gun in a vertical position with nozzle end pointing down and squeezing trig- ger. Store in gun/hose holder.
11.Store chemical hose, high pres- sure hose, spray gun, and wand so they are protected from dam- age, such as being run over.
