ENGINE
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential
fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, hose or tank
during storage. Also, experience
indicates that alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol or using 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. To avoid engine
problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or per-
manent damage may occur.
Engine Preparation
1. First add a fuel stabilizer to the
fuel tank.
2. Run pressure washer for a full 5
minutes to allow fuel stabilizer to
enter the fuel system.
While preparing the
engine make sure
water supply is turned on and
flowing to the unit. NEVER run unit
without water supply running
through pump. Failure to do so will
cause pump damage.
3. Next shut off engine and
disconnect the water supply.
4. Disconnect the spark plug wire
and remove the spark plug.
5. Add one teaspoon of oil through
the spark plug hole.
6. Place rag over spark plug hole and
pull the recoil a few times to
lubricate the combustion chamber.
7. Replace the spark plug, but do not
connect the spark plug wire.
PUMP
1. Drain all water from high pressure
hose, coil it, and store it in cradle
of the pressure washer handle.
2. Drain all water from spray gun and
spray wand by holding spray gun
in a vertical position with nozzle
end pointing down and squeezing
trigger. Store in gun/hose holder.
3. Store chemical hose, high pressure
hose, spray gun, and spray wand
so they are protected from dam-
age, such as being run over.
It is recommended that you follow
these steps to protect the internal seals
of the pressure washer when STORING
THE UNIT FOR MORE THAN 30 DAYS
AND/OR WHEN FREEZING
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED.
*RV antifreeze needs to be run through
the pump as outlined in the steps
below.
4. Obtain a funnel, six ounces of *RV
antifreeze, and approximately 36
inches of garden hose with a male
hose connector attached to one
end.
Use only RV
antifreeze. Any other
antifreeze is corrosive and can
damage pump.
5. Disconnect spark plug wire.
6. Connect 36 inch length of hose to
water inlet of pump.
7. Add *RV antifreeze to hose as
shown.
