Winter Storage

NOTICE

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.

To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:

1.Follow steps 1-4 in the previous section After Each Use.

2.Use pump saver, Model 6039, to treat pump. This minimizes freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.

3.If pump saver is not available, connect a 3-foot section of garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into hose. Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3-foot hose.

4.Store unit in a clean, dry area.

Long Term Storage

If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than 30 days, you must prepare the engine and pump for long term storage.

Protect Fuel System

Fuel Additive:

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs

&Stratton FRESH START™ fuel stabilizer, available as a liquid additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to

24 months.

If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.

Change Oil

While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill with recommended grade. See Changing Engine Oil in Engine Maintenance.

Oil Cylinder Bore

•Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.

•Install spark plug and pull starter handle slowly to distribute oil.

Protecting the Pump

To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver, Model 6039, to treat pump. This prevents freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.

NOTICE

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.

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.

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.

Other Storage Tips

1.DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless it has been treated as described in Protect Fuel System.

2.Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in fuel can cause problems if it’s used with this unit.

3.Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture.
