STORAGE

ENGINE

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or per- manent damage may occur.

Engine Preparation

1.First add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank.

2.Run pressure washer for a full 5 minutes to allow fuel stabilizer to enter the fuel system.

While preparing the

engine make sure

water supply is turned on and flowing to the unit. NEVER run unit without water supply running through pump. Failure to do so will cause pump damage.

3.Next shut off engine and disconnect the water supply.

4.Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.

5.Add one teaspoon of oil through the spark plug hole.

6.Place rag over spark plug hole and pull the recoil a few times to lubricate the combustion chamber.

7.Replace the spark plug, but do not connect the spark plug wire.

PUMP

1.Drain all water from high pressure hose, coil it, and store it in cradle of the pressure washer handle.

2.Drain all water from spray gun and spray wand by holding spray gun in a vertical position with nozzle end pointing down and squeezing trigger. Store in gun/hose holder.

3.Store chemical hose, high pressure hose, spray gun, and spray wand so they are protected from dam- age, such as being run over.

IThe manufacturer recommends using a pump protector/winterizer when storing the unit for more than 30 days and/or when freezing temperatures are expected. If a pump protector/winterizer is not available, *RV antifreeze needs to be run through the pump as outlined in the steps below.

NOTE: Using a pump protector/winterizer or *RV antifreeze is to provide proper lubrication to the internal seals of the pump regardless of temperature or environment.

4.Obtain a funnel, six ounces of *RV antifreeze, and approximately 36 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.

5.Disconnect spark plug wire.

6.Connect 36 inch length of hose to water inlet of pump.

7.Add *RV antifreeze to hose as shown.
