STORAGE

Preparing Pressure Washer for Storage

NOTE: If you do not plan to use your unit for 30 days or more, unit should be prepared for storage.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract mois- ture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or perma- nent damage may occur.

Engine Preparation

•First add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank.

•Run pressure washer for a full 5 minutes to allow fuel stabilizer to enter the fuel system.

•Next shut off engine and disconnect the water supply.

•Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.

•Add one teaspoon of oil through the spark plug hole.

•Place rag over spark plug hole and pull the recoil a few times to lubricate the combustion chamber.

•Replace the spark plug, but do not connect the spark plug wire.

While preparing the engine make sure water supply is turned on and

flowing to the unit. NEVER run unit without water supply running through pump. Failure to do so will cause pump damage.

Pump Preparation

This can cause extensive damage to this unit.

If unit has to be stored under freezing conditions a non- toxic R.V. anti-freeze should be put in the pump ac- cording to steps below to protect from freezing.

•Be sure engine switch is in “OFF” position and spark plug wire has been removed from spark plug.

•Pull the trigger on the spray gun to release the pressure in the high pressure hose. Detach high pressure hose and garden hose from the unit.

•Pull the recoil on the engine 4 to 6 times to dis- charge remaining water in pump.

•Tip the unit on the end with the water inlet fitting pointing upward.

•If unit will be stored where temperatures fall below 32°F, pour approximately 1/4 cup of non-toxic R.V. anti-freeze down the fitting where the water hose

•Set unit upright and pull starter handle on engine 4 to 6 times to circulate anti-freeze in pump until anti- freeze is discharged from the pump.
