PREPARATION FOR STORAGE
It is recommended that you follow these steps to
protect the internal seals of the pressure washer when
storing the unit for an extended period and WHEN
FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED.
ENGINE
1. Remove gasoline from engine or add fuel stabi-
lizer, such as "Sta-Bil" to gasoline to prevent
gumming
2. If you are adding fuel stabilizer, connect water
supply and high pressure hose to pump and spray
gun.
3. Turn water supply on and start engine.
4. Squeeze spray gun trigger while engine is running
to avoid operating the pump in ""bypass mode"".
5. Run engine for five minutes, then shut engine off.
6. Disconnect water supply.
7. Disconnect spark plug wire and remove spark
plug.
8. Pour one teaspoon of engine oil into spark plug
hole.
9. Place a rag over spark plug hole and pull starter
rope slowly several times to lubricate internal
cylinder wall.
PUMP
NOTE: If storing the unit for more than 30 days RV
antifreeze needs to be ran through the pump. This
helps prevent damage within the pump head. RV
antifreeze is not only added for winterizing, but for
proper lubrication regardless of temperature or
environment. Storing the pump less than 30 days
does not require the RV antifreeze.
1. Obtain a funnel, six ounces of RV antifreeze, and
approximately 12 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.
2. Disconnect spark plug wire.
3. Disconnect high pressure hose from pump and
from spray gun.
4. Connect 12 inch length of hose to water inlet of
pump.
5. Add RV antifreeze to hose as shown.
6. Pull engine starter rope slowly several times until
antifreeze comes out of high pressure hose
connection of pump.
7. Remove short hose from water inlet of pump.
8. Install spark plug into spark plug hole and tighten
securely, then reconnect spark plug wire.
9. Drain all water from high pressure hose, coil it, and
store it in cradle of the pressure washer handle.
10. Drain all water from spray gun and wand by
holding spray gun in a vertical position with nozzle
end pointing down and squeezing trigger. Store in
gun/hose holder.
11. Store chemical hose, high pressure hose, spray
gun, and wand so they are protected from dam-
age, such as being run over.
