LOHGTERM 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.

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experienceindicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damagethe fuel system of an engine while in storage.

Fuel Additive:

If adding a fuel additive, fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. Engine and fuel can be stored up to 24 months with additive.

*Run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure that treated fuel has replacedthe untreatedfuel in the carburetor.

*Stop engineand move fuel valve lever to "Off" position.
