SHUTTING DOWN AND CLEAN-UP
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 pump dis-
charge 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 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 gasolinee in a storage
container.
After Extended Storage
CAUTION: Prior to restarting, thaw out any pos-
sible 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 condi-
tion in the carburetor. If this develops, the en-
gine 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 carbure-
tor area.
NOTE:
Refer to the engine manufacturer's
manual for service and maintenance of the engine.
