AFTER EACH USE
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and "freeze" pump action. Follow these procedures after every use:
•Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter into a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in low pressure mode (adjustable nozzle in the forward position). Flush for one to two minutes.
•Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove all hoses.
•Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.
•Empty the pump of all liquids by pulling recoil handle about 6 times. This should remove most of
the liquid in the pump.
•If storing for more than 30 days see "Long Term Storage".
GENERAL
•Inspect the high pressure hose for damage. Cuts in the hose or fraying could result in leaks and loss of pressure. Should any damage be found, replace the hose. Do Not attempt to repair a damaged hose. Replace the hose with the genuine Sears part.
•Drain water from hose, gun, and nozzle extension and properly coil it on the attached wireform.
•Reconnect spark plug wire to spark plug.
•Store unit in a clean, dry area.

WINTER STORAGE
CAUTION! You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures. Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and render your unit inoperable. Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
•Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter into a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in low pressure mode (adjustable nozzle in the forward position). Flush for one to two minutes.
•Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil handle about 6 times. This should remove
most of the liquid in the pump.
•Use pump saver, available at Sears retail item number 74403, to treat pump. This prevents freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
•If pump saver is not available, connect a
Pour
LONG TERM 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, experience indicates that
