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.
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.
•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.
PUMP
It is recommended that you follow these steps to protect the internal seals of the pressure washer when storing the unit for an extended period and WHEN FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED.
NOTE: If storing the unit for more than 30 days RV antifreeze or windshield washer fluid needs to be run through the pump. This helps prevent damage within the pump head. RV antifreeze or windshield washer fluid is not only added for winterizing, but for proper lubrica- tion regardless of temperature or environment. Storing the pump less than 30 days does not require the RV antifreeze or windshield washer fluid.
1.Obtain a funnel, six ounces of RV antifreeze or windshield washer fluid, and approximately 12 inches of garden hose with a male hose connector attached to one end.
Use only RV antifreeze. Any
other antifreeze is corrosive and can damage pump.
2.Disconnect spark plug wire.
3.Disconnect high pressure hose from pump and from spray gun.
4.Connect 12 inch length of hose to water inlet of pump.
5.Add RV antifreeze or windshield washer fluid to hose as shown.
