STORAGE
Pump Storage
If you must store your pressure washer in a
location where the temperature is below 32° F,
you can minimize the chance of damage to
your machine by utilizing the following
procedure:
1. Shut off water supply and relieve pressure
to the spray gun by depressing the trigger.
Disconnect the garden hose from the
pressure washer, but leave the high
pressure hose connected.
2. Tip the unit on its side with the inlet
connection pointing up.
3. Insert a small funnel (to prevent spilling)
into the inlet and pour in approximately
1/4 cup of antifreeze.
4. Disconnect spark plug wire.
5. Without connecting garden hose pull the
recoil several times to circulate the
antifreeze in the pump system.
6. Reconnect spark plug wire.
Prior to starting, thaw out any possible ice from
the pressure washer hoses, spray gun and wand.
CAUTION
MAINTENANCE
Another method of reducing risks of freeze
damage is to drain your pressure washer as
follows:
1. Stop the pressure washer and detach
supply hose and high pressure hose.
Squeeze the trigger of the discharge gun to
drain all water from the wand and hose.
2. Restart the pressure washer and let it run
briefly about 5 seconds) until water no
longer discharges from the high pressure
outlet.
Engine Storage
When the pressure washer is not being used or
is being stored for more than a month
follow these instructions:
1. Replenish engine oil to upper level.
Engine Storage (cont’d)
2. Drain gasoline from fuel tank, fuel line, fuel
valve and carburetor.
3. Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil
through the spark plug hole. Pull the recoil
starter slowly until you feel increase
pressure which indicates the piston is on its
compression stroke. Leave it in the
position. This closes both the intake and
exhaust valves to prevent the inside of the
cylinder from rusting.
4. Cover the pressure washer and store in a
clean, dry place that is well ventilated
away from open flame or sparks.
NOTE: The use of a fuel additive, such
as STA-BIL, or an equivalent, will
minimize the formulation of fuel gum
deposits during storage.
