PRESSURE WASHER
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
SHUTTING DOWN AND CLEAN-UP
STORAGE
CAUTION: Always store your pressure 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.
1. Stop the pressure washer, squeeze spray gun trig-
ger to release pressure.
2. Detach water supply hose and high pressure hose.
3. Turn on the machine for a few seconds, until re-
maining water exits. Turn engine off immediately.
4. Drain the gas and oil from the engine.
5. Do not allow high pressure hose to become kinked.
6. Store the machine and accessories in a room which
does not reach freezing temperatures.
CAUTION: Failure to follow the above directions will
result in damage to your pressure washer.
When the pressure washer is not being operated or is being
stored for 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 starter grip several times
and replace the plug. Then pull the starter grip 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 ex-
haust valves to prevent rusting of cylinder.
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 formu-
lation of fuel deposits during shortage. Such addi-
tives 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 mainte-
nance of the engine.
STEP 1: Remove detergent suction
tube from container and insert into
one gallon of fresh water. Open de-
tergent metering valve. Pull trigger
on spray gun and siphon water for
one minute. Close detergent valve.
STEP 2: Turn off the engine. STEP 3: Turn off water
supply.
STEP 5: Disconnect the garden
hose from the water inlet on the
machine.
STEP 6: Disconnect the high
pressure hose from high pres-
sure outlet.
STEP 7: Engage
the spray gun safety
lock.
STEP 4: Press trig-
ger to release water
pressure.
