PUMP STORAGE
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 utilizing the following procedure:
1.
Shut off water supply and relieve pressure in the spray gun
by depressing the trigger. Disconnect the garden hose
from the pressure washer, but leave the high-pressure hose
connected.
2.
Tip the unit on its side with the inlet connection pointing up.
3.
Insert a small funnel (to prevent spilling) into the inlet
and pour in approximately 1/4 cup of RV antifreeze.
4.
Disconnect spark plug wire.
5.
Without connecting garden hose pull the recoil several
times to circulate the antifreeze in the pump system.
Continue to add antifreeze and pull the recoil until the
antifreeze is expelled when the trigger is pulled.
6.
Turn the unit upright.
Another method of reducing risks of freeze damage is to drain
your pressure washer as follow:
1.
Stop the pressure washer and detach supply hose and high
pressure hose. Squeeze the trigger of the discharge gun to
drain all water from the wand and hose.
2.
Restart the 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 instructions:
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 recoil starter several times and replace
the plug. Then pull the starter slowly until you feel
increased pressure which indicates the piston 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 Coleman®
Powermate® Generator Fuel Additive, 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.
