STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figures 21 - 22.
It is important to store this product in an area that will not
experience freezing temperatures. Always empty water from
hoses and pump, and empty fuel from the fuel tank.
NOTE: Use of a fuel stabilizer and pump saver will give
you better performance and increase the life of the
machine.
AFTER THE MACHINE HAS COOLED COMPLETELY:
Discharge Fuel:
Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored gas can go stale in
30 days.
Engine :
Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubrificant.
Spark Plug:
nDisconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle
lubricant through the spark plug hole into the combustion
chamber.
nLeaving the spark plug out, pull the starter cord two or
three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
nInspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as neces-
sary.
nReinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire
disconnected.
Air Filter:
nClean or replace the air filter according to engine manu-
facturer instructions. (See engine manual.)
Hoses and Pump:
Flush the injection hose with clean water for 1-2 minutes.
Remove all hoses. Empty the pump by pulling on the recoil
starter about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid
from the pump.
Spray Wand and Trigger Handle:
Unscrew the spray wand from the trigger handle and store
in the wand storage holster.
Moving Handle:
To collapse the moving handle for storage, pull and hold the
release pin while pushing the handle down.
PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE
nPull the recoil starter grip three or four times to clean
lubricant from the combustion chamber.
nRemove spark plug from the cylinder. Wipe lubricant from
the spark plug and return it to the cylinder.
nReconnect the spark plug wire.
nRefuel the machine as described earlier in the operator’s
manual.

PUMP MAINTENANCE
We recommend having the pump lubricant changed every
200 hours to ensure longer life of the machine. This service
should be performed by an authorized service center.
