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 permanent damage may occur.

Engine Preparation

•First add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank.

•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.

•Next shut off engine and disconnect the water supply.

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

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

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

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

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 TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED.

NOTE: If storing the unit for more than 30 days RV antifreeze or windshield washer fluid needs to be run through the pump. This helps prevent damage within the pump head. RV antifreeze or windshield washer fluid is not only added for winterizing, but for proper lubrica- tion regardless of temperature or environment. 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.
