STORAGE
This pressure washer should be stored in such a way to
protect it from freezing. Do not store this unit outdoors
or in an area where temperatures will fall below 32° F.
This can cause extensive damage to this unit.
If unit has to be stored under freezing conditions a non­
toxic R.V. anti-freeze can be used to protect from
freezing.
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.
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.
NOTE: While doing this procedure make sure water
supply is turned on and flowing to the unit. NEVER run
unit without water supply running through pump.
• 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.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
form 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 permanent damage may
occur.
Pump Preparation
• 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 discharge
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
attaches to the pump.
• 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.
