STEP 1:

  Remove  detergent  suc

-

tion 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:

 Turn off the engine.

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  discharge 

nipple.

STEP 7:

 Engage 

the spray gun safe

-

ty lock.

STEP 4:

 Press trig-

ger to release water 

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 

indicates 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 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 gasoline in a storage con

-

tainer.

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 atmospheric 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.
