Snapper 2300 PSI Pressure Washer

PREPARING THE UNIT FOR STORAGE

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and “freeze” pump action. If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than 30 days, follow this procedure:

1.Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter into a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in low pressure mode (adjustable nozzle in the forward position). Flush for one to two minutes.

2.Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove high pressure and garden hoses. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.

3.Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling the recoil handle about 6 times.This should remove most of the liquid in the pump.

4.Use PumpSaver to prevent corrosion build up and freezing of pump.

5.Store unit in a clean, dry area.

NOTE: PumpSaver is available as an optional accessory. It is not included with the pressure washer. Contact the nearest authorized service center to purchase PumpSaver.

CAUTION! You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures. Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and render your unit inoperable. Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.

CAUTION! Read and follow all cautions and warnings on the PumpSaver can label. Always wear eye protection when using PumpSaver.

To use PumpSaver, make sure the pressure washer is turned off and disconnected from supply water. Read and follow all instructions and warnings given on the PumpSaver container.

NOTE: PumpSaver will drip from pump after treatment and will stain wood and concrete.

NOTE: If PumpSaver is not available, draw RV antifreeze (non-alcohol) into the pump by pouring the solution into a 3-foot section of garden hose connected to inlet adapter and pulling recoil handle twice.

Protecting the Pump

To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver to treat pump.This prevents freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.

STORING THE ENGINE

See the engine owner’s manual for instructions on how to properly prepare the engine for storage.
