STEP 1:

 Remove detergent suction 

tube  from  container  and  insert  into 
one gallon of fresh water. Slide nozzle 
forward for low pressure or to connect 
black  detergent  nozzle.  Pull  trigger 
on  spray  gun  and  siphon  water  for 
one minute.

STEP 2:

 Move the throttle to stop 

the engine (Briggs Engine). Turn off 
the engine (Honda engines).

STEP 3: Turn off water supply.

STEP 5: Disconnect the garden 
hose from the water inlet on the 
machine.

STEP  6:  Disconnect  the  high 
pressure  hose  from  high  pres-
sure outlet.

STEP  7:  Engage 
spray  gun  safety 
lock.

STEP 4: Press trig-
ger to release wa-
ter pressure.

CAUTION: Always store your pressure washer in a 
location where the temperature will not fall below 
32°F (0°C). The pump in this machine is susceptible 
to permanent damage if frozen. FREEZE DAMAGE 
IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

  1.  Stop the pressure washer, squeeze spray gun trig

-

ger to release pressure.

  2. 

Detach water supply hose and high pressure hose.

  3.  Turn on the machine for a few seconds, until  re-

maining water exits. Turn engine off immediately.

  4.  Drain the gas and oil from the engine.
  5.  Do not allow high pressure hose to become kinked.
  6.  Store the machine and accessories in a room which 

does not reach freezing temperatures.

CAUTION: Failure to follow the above directions will 
result in damage to your pressure washer.

When the pressure washer is not being operated or is 
being  stored  for  more  than  one  month,  follow  these 
instructions:

  1.  Replenish engine oil to upper level.
  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 starter grip several times 

and replace the plug. Then pull the starter grip 

     slowly until you feel increased pressure which in-

dicates the piston is on its compression stroke and 

leave it in that position. This closes both the intake 
and exhaust valves to prevent rusting of cylinder.

  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 deposits during shortage. Such 

additives may be added to the gasoline in the fuel 

tank of the engine, or to the gasolinee in a storage 
container.

After Extended Storage

CAUTION: Prior to restarting, thaw out any 
possible ice from pressure washer hoses, 
spray gun or wand.

Engine Maintenance

During  the  winter  months,  rare  atmosheric  conditions 

may develop which will cause an icing condition in the 
carburetor. If this develops, the engine may run rough, 

lose power and may stall. This temporary condition can 

be overcome by deflecting some of the hot air from the 
engine over the carburetor area. 

 NOTE:

 Refer to the 

engine manufacturer's manual for service and mainte

-

nance of the engine.
