Winter Storage
Protect your pressure washer parts from freezing.
1. Apply all storage instructions from previous sections.
2. Make sure pressure washer hose is free of all water before
storing for winter.
3. In order to prevent the pump from freezing you will need to
insert RV antifreeze.
4. You will need approximately 6 oz. (177.4 mL) of RV antifreeze,
a funnel, and approximately 12 in. (30.5 cm) of garden hose
or equivalent.
5. Pour the antifreeze into the funnel connected to the pump
inlet with a small hose, then pull on the recoil starter to create
suction in the pump housing. Pull the recoil several times until
antifreeze comes out of the pump outlet.
WARNING
Never store the pressure washer inside or next to appliances
where there is a source of heat or open flame, spark or pilot
light because they can ignite gasoline vapors.
DO NOT store a pressure washer near fertilizer or any
corrosive material.
Even with an empty gas tank, gasoline vapors could ignite.
DANGER
Engine exhaust contains odorless and colorless carbon
monoxide gas.
To avoid accidental or unintended ignition of the product
during periods of storage, the following precautions should be
followed:
–
When storing the pressure washer for short or long periods
of time make sure that the engine switch and the fuel valve
are set in the "OFF" position.
NOTICE
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend fuels.
When using blended fuels there are some issues worth noting:
–
Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
–
These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or a
watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor.
–
With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised fuel can
be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage to the
engine and/or potential hazards.
–
There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer that are
formulated to work with ethanol blend fuels.
–
Any damages or hazards caused by using improper fuel,
improperly stored fuel, and/or improperly formulated
stabilizers, are not covered by manufacturer's warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply, run the engine
to fuel starvation and drain the tank when the equipment is not
in use for more than 30 days.
