Shutdown, Flushing, and Storage
NOTE: Antifreeze Flush Kit 802327 is available to
make flushing easier.
CAUTION
If water does freeze in the pressure washer, thaw it
in a warm room before you try to start it. Do not
pour hot water on or into the pump; it could crack
the ceramic plungers.
D If the pressure washer will be exposed to freezing
temperatures, drain all water out of the pump. If it
must be stored in freezing temperatures, flush the
pressure washer with a 50% antifreeze solution,
and relieve the pressure. Flush the pressure
washer before you use it again to remove the
antifreeze.
D Before you store the pressure washer overnight or
transport it, disconnect the water supply, and turn
off the fuel supply valve.
D After each use, wipe all surfaces of the pressure
washer with a clean, damp cloth.
D Perform the appropriate maintenance. See
Maintenance Chart at right.
Maintenance
Observing regular maintenance intervals helps ensure
that you get maximum performance and life from the
pressure washer.
There is a break-in period for the engine and pump.
After you change the oil in these components following
their respective break-in periods, the interval between
required changes is longer.
If the pressure washer is operated in dusty conditions,
these maintenance checks should be made more
often.
Relieve the pressure
(see page 3) before you
proceed with maintenance.
