LONG TERM STORAGE

If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than 30 days, you must prepare the engine 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, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (celled gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage,

Protect Fuel System

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.

Add fuel additive following manufacturer's instructions,

Connect water supply to pump inlet and turn it ON,

Run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure

that treated fuel has replaced the untreated fuel in the carburetor,

If fuel additive is not used, remove all fuel from tank and run engine until it stops from lack of fuel.

Change Oil

While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase, Refill with recommended grade (see Changing Oil on

Oil Cylinder Bore
