Snapper 2300 PSI Pressure Washer
PREPARING THE UNIT FOR STORAGE
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and “freeze” pump action. If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than 30 days, follow this procedure:
1.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.
2.Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove high pressure and garden hoses. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.
3.Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling the recoil handle about 6 times.This should remove most of the liquid in the pump.
4.Use PumpSaver to prevent corrosion build up and freezing of pump.
5.Store unit in a clean, dry area.
