STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 29.
NOTE: Regular use of fuel stabilizer and pump protector
will give you better performance of the unit and increase
the life of the pump.
WARNING:
While storing, keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides
of this product, including overhead. Allow a minimum of
30 minutes of "cool down" time before storage. Heat cre-
ated by muffler and exhaust gases could be hot enough
to ignite combustible objects.
Store in a dry, covered area where the weather can't damage it.
It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. Al-
ways empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the soap
tank before storing.
 Drain the fuel tank completely by running the pressure
washer until the gas runs out. Stored gas can go stale in
30 days.
NOTE: Make sure the water supply is connected and
turned on when allowing the pressure washer engine to
run.
 Make sure the engine switch is in the OFF position and
the fuel valve is in the CLOSED position.
 Disconnect both the high pressure hose and the garden
hose from the pump.
 Empty the pump by pulling on the starter grip and rope
about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid from
the pump.
NOTICE:
If the location where your pressure washer is stored will
fall below 32°F, the use of a pump protector is required
before storing to prevent freeze damage. Freeze damage
will void your warranty.
