STORAGE
Pump Storage
CAUTION: Always store your pres-
sure 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.
If you must store your pressure washer in a location
where the temperature is below 32° F, you can minimize
the chance of damage to your machine by draining your
machine as follows:
1.
Stop the pressure washer and detach supply hose
and high pressure hose. Squeeze the trigger of the
spray gun to drain all water from the wand and hose.
2.
Restart pressure washer and let it run briefly (about
5 seconds) until water no longer discharges from
the high pressure outlet.
Engine Storage
When the pressure washer is not being operated or is
being stored more than one month, follow these instruc-
tions:
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 pis-
ton is on its compression stroke and leave it in that
position. This closes both the intake and exhaust valves
to prevent the inside of the cylinder from rusting.
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 gum
deposits during storage. Such an additive may be added
to the gasoline in the fuel tank of the engine, or to the
gasoline in a storage container.
After Extended Storage
Caution: Prior to restarting, thaw out any
possible ice from pressure washer hoses,
spray gun or wand.
Engine Maintenance
During the winter months, rare atmospheric conditions
may develop which will cause an icing condition in the
carburetor. If this develops, the engine 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 carburetor area.
NOTE:
Refer to the engine manufacturer's manual for
service and maintenance of the engine.
