SHUTTING DOWN AND CLEAN-UP
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 trigger
to release pressure.
2. Detach water supply hose and high pressure hose.
3. Turn on the machine for a few seconds, until remain-
ing 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 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 gasoline 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 atmospheric condi-
tions 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 maintenance of the engine.
