Storage
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
remaining water exits. Turn engine off immediately.
4.
Drain the fuel 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 diesel from fuel tank, fuel line, fuel valve and
carburetor.
3.
Cover the pressure washer and store in a clean,
dry place that is well ventilated away from open
flame or sparks.
After Extended Storage
CAUTION: Prior to restarting, thaw out any
possible ice from pressure washer hoses, spray
gun or wand.
DANGER: Do not store flammable liquids (gasoline,
fuel oil, petroleum, solvents, etc.) near pressure
washer, or in non-ventilated areas.
IMPORTANT: Machine must be stored indoors.
1.
Protect from freezing by storing in a heated area,
or by flushing the system with antifreeze (use an
automotive engine antifreeze or windshield washer
solvent to antifreeze). To flush the system fill the
float tank with antifreeze and remove pressure
nozzle from wand. Start the machine and allow it to
run until antifreeze runs from the end of the wand.
Place wand into float tank and circulate the solution
through system for several minutes. Open and
close the trigger gun several times to circulate anti-
freeze through the unloader valve system. Also
draw antifreeze through the detergent inlet line to
antifreeze the detergent system. For added protec-
tion after antifreezing, disconnect the pressure
hose from machine and remove the coil drain plug.
After coil has drained, replace pressure hose and
coil drain plug. If the pressure washer is not to be
used for an extended length of time, it is recom-
mended that the system be flushed with antifreeze
for rust protection.
