After Each Use; Winter Storage - Briggs & Stratton Elite 3300 MAX PSI Manual Del Operador

After Each Use

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods
of time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump
parts and freeze pump action. Follow these procedures
after every use:
1. Flush detergent system by turning its detergent
shut-off valves to OFF (0) position and run
pressure washer with black spray tip. Flush for
one to two minutes.
2. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun
in a safe direction, press red button and squeeze
trigger to relieve trapped pressure, and let engine
cool.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water
that this equipment produces could cut
through skin and its underlying tissues,
resulting in serious injury and possible
amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected, which
could result in serious injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray
gun while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red
button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high
pressure, every time you stop engine.
3. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high
pressure outlet on pump. Drain water from hose,
gun, and nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off
the hose.
4. Place spray gun, nozzle extension, and spray tips
in accessory holders. Coil high pressure hose on
hose wrap.
5. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about six times. This should remove most
liquid in pump.
6. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
7. If storing for more than 30 days, see Long Term
Storage on next page.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive which
could cause burns, fire or explosion
resulting in death or serious injury.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN
TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes
dryers, or other appliances that have pilot light or other
ignition source because they could ignite fuel vapors.

Winter Storage

NOTICE You must protect your unit from freezing
temperatures.
• Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and
render your unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1. Empty all cleaning tanks as follows:
a. Disconnect hose connected to barbed hose
fitting on pump. Place end of hose into suitable
container.
b. Rotate one of the detergent shut-off valves
to ON (I) position and open that tanks cover.
Gravity will empty tank contents into container.
c. When first tank is empty, repeat step (b) for
other tank, using a different container.
d. Reconnect hose to barbed hose fitting on
pump. Add 1 pint (0.5 liter) of clean fresh water
to each tank and close tanks covers.
2. Flush detergent system by selecting one tank,
turning its detergent shut-off valve to ON (I)
position and run pressure washer with black
spray tip. Flush until first tank is empty. Turn its
detergent shut-off valve to OFF (0) position. Flush
other tank the same way.
3. Follow steps 2-5 in the previous section After
Each Use.
4. Use pump saver, Model 6039, to treat pump. This
minimizes freeze damage and lubricates pistons
and seals.
5. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3 ft.
(92 cm) section of garden hose to water inlet
adapter. Pour RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without
alcohol) into hose. Pull recoil handle twice.
Disconnect 3 ft. (92 cm) hose.
6. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
