IMPORTANT; It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essentia! fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuel filter hose or tank during storage. Also,
experience indicates that alcohohblended 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.
NOTE; Never start pressure washer without water
source turned on and connected to pressure washer.
Squeeze trigger on pressure washer wand to relieve air
pressure caused by turning on the water. Water will
spew out of the gun in a thin stream. This will make it
easier to start the engine.
Engage the safety latch on the spray gun. This locks
the trigger in place and keeps you from accidentally
spraying a high pressure stream.
