STORAGE

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:

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 engine, let it cool, then remove all hoses.

3. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.

4. Empty pump of all liquids by pulling recoil handle

about 6 times. This should remove most liquid in
pump.

5. If storing for more than 30 days see “Long Term

Storage” on next page.

6. Coil high pressure hose and inspect it for damage.

Cuts in hose or fraying could result in leaks and
loss of pressure. Should any damage be found,
replace hose. DO NOT attempt to repair a

damaged hose. Replace hose with genuine Sears

part.

7. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high

pressure outlet on pump. Drain water from hose,

gun, and nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off

hose.

8. Coil hose and properly hang it on hook provided.

9. Reconnect spark plug wire to spark plug.

10. Store unit in a clean, dry area.

WINTER STORAGE

^ WARNING

WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN
TANK

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes

dryers or other appliances that have pilot light or other

ignition source because they can ignite fuel vapors.

WHEN DRAINING FUEL

• Turn pressure washer OFF and let it cool at least 2

minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to
relieve pressure in tank.

• Drain fuel tank outdoors,

• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,

heat, and other ignition sources.

• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

CAUTION

u must protect your unit from freezing temperai

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:

1. Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing filter

into a pail of clean water while running pressure

washer in low pressure mode (adjustable nozzle in
forward position). Flush for one to two minutes.

2. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil

handle about 6 times. This should remove most
liquid in pump.

3. Use pump saver, available at Sears retail item

71-74403, to treat pump. This minimizes freeze

damage and lubricates pistons and seals.

4. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3-foot

section of garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour

RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into

hose. Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3-foot
hose.
