WINTER STORAGE
NOTE: You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.

Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and render your unit inoperable.

Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
1. Follow steps 1-5 in the previous section After Each Use.
2. Use pump saver, Model 6039, to treat pump. This minimizes freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
3. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3 ft. (1 m) section of garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour RV-antifreeze
(antifreeze without alcohol) into hose. Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3 ft. (1 m) hose.
4. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
LONG TERM STORAGE
If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than 30 days, you must prepare the engine and pump for long term
storage.
Protect Fuel System
Fuel Additive:
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on
essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs & Stratton® Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer,
available wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine service parts are sold.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions.
Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel system before storage.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Run the
engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain
freshness.
Storing the Engine
See the engine operator’s manual for instructions on how to properly prepare the engine for storage.
Protecting the Pump
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver, Model 6039, to treat pump. This
prevents freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
NOTE : PumpSaver is available as an optional accessory. It is not included with the pressure washer. Contact the nearest
authorized service center to purchase PumpSaver.
NOTE : You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.


Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To use PumpSaver, make sure the pressure washer is turned off and disconnected from supply water. Read and follow all
instructions and warnings given on the PumpSaver container.
