and render your unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered Under warrar4y.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1. Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing filter
into a pail of clean water while running pressure
washer in low pressure mode (adjustable nozzle in
forward position). Flush for one to two minutes.
2. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil

LONG TERM STORAGE
If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more
than 30 days, you must prepare the engine for long
term storage.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also,
experience indicates that alcehol-blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture,
which leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.

Draining Fuel Tank:
_hL ARNING1 Drain fuel, using a funnel, into
approved container outdoors, away from open
flame. Be sure engine is cool. DO NOT smoke.
Remove all fuel from carburetor and fuel tank to
prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts
and causing possible malfunction of engine.
Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine
stops due to lack of fuel.
