MAINTENANCE

STORING the pressure washer

See Figure 27.

Store the pressure washer with the gas tank empty by either draining the tank or running the pressure washer until the gas runs out. Allow 30 minutes of “cool down” time before storing the machine. Store in a dry, covered area where the weather can’t damage it.

It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. Always empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the detergent container before storing.

NOTE: Use of a fuel stabilizer and pump saver will give you better performance and increase the life of the machine.

Trigger and auxiliary handles:

Remove the auxiliary handle from the trigger handle and store the auxiliary handle in the storage hole on the side of the trigger handle.

Remove the spray wand from the trigger handle by turning the connector counterclockwise. Store the unassembled spray wand in the spray wand storage area.

Discharge Fuel:

Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored gas can go stale in

30days.

Engine Oil:

Drain the oil and replace with fresh, clean oil.

Spark Plug:

nDisconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug. Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle oil through the spark plug hole into the combustion chamber.

nLeaving the spark plug out, pull the starter cord two or three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.

nInspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as neces- sary.

nReinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire disconnected.

Air Filter:

nClean the air filter.

Hoses and Pump:

Flush the injection hose with clean water for 1-2 minutes. Remove all hoses. Empty the pump by pulling on the recoil starter about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid from the pump.

preparing for use after storage

nPull the recoil starter grip three or four times to clean oil from the combustion chamber.

nRemove spark plug from the cylinder. Wipe oil from the spark plug and return it to the cylinder.

nReconnect the spark plug wire.

nRefuel the machine as described earlier in the operator’s manual.
