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.
