SAFETYSETUPOPERATIONMAINTENANCE
Long-Term Storage
When the equipment is to remain idle for longer than
20 days, prepare the Engine for storage as follows:
1. CLEANING:
Wait for Engine to cool, then clean Engine with
dry cloth. NOTICE: Do not clean using water.
The water will gradually enter the Engine
and cause rust damage. Apply a thin coat
of rust preventive oil to all metal parts.
2. FUEL:
To protect the fuel tank during storage, fill the
tank with gasoline that has been treated with
a fuel stabilizer additive. Follow fuel stabilizer
manufacturer’s recommendations for use. Refer
to “Checking and Filling Fuel” on page 17.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY FROM FIRE:
Fill tank in a well-ventilated area away from
ignition sources. If the engine is hot from
use, shut the engine off and wait for it to
cool before adding fuel. Do not smoke.
3. LUBRICATION:
a. Change engine oil.
b. Clean out area around spark plug.
Remove spark plug and pour one tablespoon of
engine oil into cylinder through spark plug hole.
c. Replace spark plug, but leave
spark plug cap disconnected.
d. Pull Starter Handle to distribute oil in cylinder.
Stop after one or two revolutions when you
feel the piston start the compression stroke
(when you start to feel resistance).
4. PUMP PREPARATION:
a. Disconnect the Pressure Hose and
water supply hose from the Pump.
b. Connect a short length of garden hose
with a male hose connector on one end
to the Pump’s water inlet connection.
c. Use a funnel to add approximately six
ounces of RV antifreeze to the Pump.
NOTICE: Use only RV antifreeze.
Other types of antifreeze are corrosive
and can damage Pump.
d. With spark plug cap disconnected and
Engine switch in OFF position, pull Starter
Handle several times until antifreeze begins
to come out of Pump outlet fitting.
e. Remove garden hose from Pump.
5. STORAGE AREA:
Cover and store in a dry, level, well-ventilated
area out of reach of children. Storage area should
also be away from ignition sources, such as
water heaters, clothes dryers, and furnaces.
6. EVERY 3 MONTHS, TO PROTECT ENGINE
AND WARRANTY COVERAGE:
a. Safely drain antifreeze, and dispose of properly.
b. Connect Pressure Hose and water supply hose.
c. Turn on water supply, remove nozzle, point
wand in safe direction, and hold down
trigger until all air is released from the
system, at least 30 seconds. Then release
the Trigger, lock it in the safety position and
replace Nozzle before starting engine.
d. Discharge nozzle in safe direction
run engine for 15-20 minutes or the
Warranty is VOID. Turn off engine.
e. Discharge nozzle in safe direction, and
then disconnect hoses and drain water.
f. Connect a short length of garden hose
with a male hose connector on one end
to the Pump’s water inlet connection.
g. Use a funnel to add approximately six
ounces of RV antifreeze to the Pump.
NOTICE: Use only RV antifreeze.
Other types of antifreeze are corrosive
and can damage Pump.
7. AFTER STORAGE:
a. Before starting the Engine during or after
storage, keep in mind that untreated gasoline
will deteriorate quickly. Drain the fuel
tank and change to fresh fuel if untreated
gasoline has been sitting for a month, if
treated gasoline has been sitting beyond the
fuel stabilizer’s recommended time period,
or if the Engine does not start.
b. With spark plug cap disconnected and
Engine switch in OFF position, pull
Starter Handle several times to discharge
antifreeze out of the Pump outlet fitting
before using Pressure Washer.
