PowerBOSS™	3700 PSI Pressure Washer	STORAGE

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 siphon hose by placing filter into a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in low pressure mode. Flush for one to two minutes.

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

3.Empty pump of liquids by pulling engine recoil handle about 6 times.This should remove most liquid from pump.

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

5.Store unit in a clean, dry area.

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.

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.

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.

CAUTION

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

• Protect surfaces from dripping PumpSaver.

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.

STORING THE ENGINE

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