Long Term Storage
If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than
30 days, you must prepare the engine and pump for long
term storage.
Protect Fuel System
Fuel Additive:
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel
causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or
on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs
& Stratton® Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer,
available wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine service parts
are sold.
For engines equipped with a FRESH START® fuel cap, use
Briggs & Stratton FRESH START® available in a drip
concentrate cartridge.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel
stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine
for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel
system before storage.
Change Engine Oil
Drain engine oil from crankcase. Refill with recommended
grade. See
Changing Engine Oil
in
Engine Maintenance
.
Protecting the Pump
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver, Model 6039, to treat
pump. This prevents freeze damage and lubricates pistons
and seals.
NOTICE
PumpSaver is available as an optional accessory. It
is not included with the pressure washer. Contact the nearest
authorized service center to purchase PumpSaver.
NOTICE
You must protect your unit from freezing
temperatures.
• Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and render
your unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To use PumpSaver, make sure the pressure washer is turned
off and disconnected from supply water. Read and follow all
instructions and warnings given on the PumpSaver
container.
Other Storage Tips
1. DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless it
has been treated as described in
Protect Fuel System
.
2. Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or
dirt in fuel can cause problems if it’s used with this
unit.
3. Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does not
retain moisture.
4. Store unit in a clean and dry area.
WARNING
Storage covers could cause a fire
resulting in death, serious injury and/or property
damage.
• DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot pressure washer.
• Let equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing the cover
on the equipment.
