STORAGE & WINTER STORAGE
PREPARATION FOR STORAGE
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.
ENGINE
1.Remove gasoline from engine or add fuel stabi- lizer, such as
2.If you are adding fuel stabilizer, connect water supply and high pressure hose to pump and spray gun.
3.Turn water supply on and start engine.
4.Squeeze spray gun trigger while engine is running to avoid operating the pump in ""bypass mode"".
5.Run engine for five minutes, then shut engine off.
6.Disconnect water supply.
7.Disconnect spark plug wire and remove spark plug.
8.Pour one teaspoon of engine oil into spark plug hole.
9.Place a rag over spark plug hole and pull starter rope slowly several times to lubricate internal cylinder wall.
PUMP
NOTE: If storing the unit for more than 30 days RV antifreeze needs to be ran through the pump. This helps prevent damage within the pump head. RV antifreeze is not only added for winterizing, but for proper lubrication regardless of temperature or environment. Storing the pump less than 30 days does not require the RV antifreeze.
1.Obtain a funnel, six ounces of RV antifreeze, 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 to hose as shown.
6.Pull engine starter rope slowly several times until antifreeze comes out of high pressure hose connection of pump.
7.Remove short hose from water inlet of pump.
8.Install spark plug into spark plug hole and tighten securely, then 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 trigger. Store in gun/hose holder.
11.Store chemical hose, high pressure hose, spray gun, and wand so they are protected from dam- age, such as being run over.
