STORAGE
Fuel and fuel vapor are extremely
flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion from misuse of
fuel can cause severe burns and even death.
ENGINE
Gasoline fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and
gum deposits to form in the fuel system or crucial carburetor parts. To keep fuel
fresh, add the provided fuel stabilizer tablets to the fuel tank (read instructions in
the back of stabilizer packaging for directions).
Draining gasoline is unnecessary if the fuel stabilizer is used according to the
instructions that come with it. Run Pressure Washer engine for a minimum of two
minutes, after stabilizer is added to fuel, to allow it to circulate throughout the
engine. The engine and fuel can be stored up to 24 months.
DO NOT
store gasoline from one season to another unless
it’s been treated with fuel stabilizer.
Replace fuel container, if metal, and if it begins to rust. Rust and dirt and debris
can contaminate fuel supply and components resulting in poor performance
and/or internal damage to engine. Fuel should be stored in newer approved
plastic storage containers.
TO PROTECT AGAINST RUST FORMATION DURING STORAGE, OIL
THE CYLINDER BORE:
• Remove spark plug and pour approximately 1/2 oz (15 ml) of clean engine oil
into the cylinder.
• Install spark plug and pull starter cord slowly to distribute oil.
• Make sure engine
ON/OFF
switch is
OFF
. Slowly pull the starter cord 2 to 3 times to
distribute and coat the cylinder bore with oil.
DO NOT
start engine at this time.
Unintentional sparking can cause fire or electrical shock.
Failure to observe this warning can cause severe property
damage, severe burns and even death.
Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and cover tip of spark plug wire
with insulating tape and place wire where it cannot come in contact with
spark plug or Pressure Washer frame.
