ENGINE MAINTENANCE

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

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.

Protecting the Pump CAUTION

Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with used motor oil.

Used motor oil has been shown to cause skin cancer in certain laboratory animals.

Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap and water.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON'T POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES. RETURN USED OIL TO COLLECTION CENTERS.

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 siphoning tube/filter by placing filter into a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in low pressure mode (adjustable nozzle in forward position). 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.Place the spray gun, nozzle extension and high pressure hose in the accessory storage bag.

4.Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil handle about 6 times.This should remove most liquid in pump.

5.Use PumpSaver to prevent corrosion build up and freezing of pump.

6.Store unit in a clean, dry area.

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.
