STORAGE
Winter Storage
NOTICE
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.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
.
1. Use Pump Saver to treat pump. This minimizes freeze damage and
lubricates pistons and seals. Contact your local dealer for Pump Saver
Solution.
2. If pump saver is not available, connect a 1 metre section of garden hose
to water inlet adapter. Pour RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol)
into hose. Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect 1 metre hose.
3. Store unit in a clean, dry area (heated area preferred).
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 will become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acids
and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor
parts. Prior to storage, if petrol has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer,
it must be drained from the engine into an approved container. Then
run engine until it stops from lack of fuel. When fuel stabilizers are used
according to their instructions, there is no need to drain the petrol from
the engine prior to storage. Run the engine for a short time to circulate
stabilizer throughout the fuel system. Engine and fuel can then be stored
up to 24 months.
If petrol is drained, the use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is still
recommended to maintain freshness.
