General

DANGER
Explosion and Fire. Fuel and vapors are
extremely flammable and explosive. Add fuel
in a well ventilated area. Keep fire and spark
away. Failure to do so will result in death
or serious injury.
WARNING
Risk of Fire. Verify machine has properly
cooled before installing cover and storing
machine. Hot surfaces could result in fire.
• DO NOT place a storage cover on a hot
power washer. Allow unit to cool to room
temperature before storage.
• DO NOT store fuel from one season to
another unless properly treated.
• Replace fuel container if rust is present.
Rust in fuel will cause fuel system
problems.
• Cover unit with a suitable protective,
moisture resistant cover.
• Store unit in a clean and dry area.
• Always store power washers and fuel away
from heat and ignition sources.

Prepare Fuel System for Storage

Fuel stored over 30 days can go bad and
damage fuel system components. Keep fuel
fresh, use fuel stabilizer.
If fuel stabilizer is added to fuel system,
prepare and run engine according to
Washer Start-Up. Run engine for 2 minutes to
circulate stabilizer throughout fuel system.
Adequately prepared fuel can be stored up to
24 months.
NOTE: If fuel has not been treated with fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved
container. Run engine until it stops from lack
of fuel. Use of fuel stabilizer in fuel storage
container is recommended to keep fuel fresh.

Prepare Engine for Storage

1. Change engine oil.
2. Remove spark plug.
3. Pour a tablespoon (5-10cc) of clean
engine oil or spray a suitable fogging
agent into cylinder.
4. Pull starter recoil
distribute oil in cylinder.
5. Install spark plug.
6. Pull recoil slowly until resistance is felt.
This will close valves so moisture cannot
enter engine cylinder. Gently release
recoil.
