CAUTION:
To avoid fire, allow unit to cool down for at least twenty (20) minutes before transporting or
storing the unit.
Always transport and store the unit with the fuel cock in the “OFF” position.
Always keep unit in horizontal position to the ground to prevent fuel from spilling. Spilled
gasoline and gasoline vapor may ignite.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive.
STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER:
Refer to the Controls and Features section for additional diagrams and
definitions.
1. Ensure the storage site for the unit is clean and dry.
Before long term storage of your power equipment product, typically 30 days or more, perform the
following:
2.
Set the fuel cock (valve) to the “OFF” position.
3.
Let the unit continue to run until it stops itself, burning all of the fuel in the fuel system. Keep inlet water
supply to pump and continue to use the spray wand with the trigger depressed to keep water circulating
in the pump and to expel pressurized water.
4.
Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position.
5.
Drain the engine oil in accordance with the “Engine Oil Change Procedures” in this Owner’s Manual’s
Maintenance section. Do NOT re-‐‐fill with oil until ready to use again.

Remove the Spark Plug in accordance with the “Spark Plug Maintenance” in the Owner’s Manual’s
Maintenance section. Spray a lubricant, such as WD40®, into the Spark Plug hole to lubricate the top of
the piston and walls of the cylinder. Replace the Spark Plug.
7.
Pull starter rope until resistance is felt. This will place the valves in the closed position.
8.
Add the recommended amount of fuel stabilizer, in accordance with the amount recommended by the
manufacturer of the fuel stabilizer, to the unused gasoline left in the unit’s tank.
9.
Place the unit in a clean, dry, and secure location.

If stored in freezing conditions you can utilize a short garden hose and a funnel to install anti-freeze into
the inlet connection on the pump.
