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. Follow steps 1-4 in the previous section After Each Use.
2. Use pump saver, available at Sears, item 74403, to treat
pump. This minimizes freeze damage and lubricates
pistons and seals.
3. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3-foot section
of garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour
RV–antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into hose. Pull
recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3-foot hose.
4. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
LONG TERM STORAGE
If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than
30 days, you must prepare the engine and pump for long
term storage.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter,
fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates
that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
Protect Fuel System
Fuel Additive:
If adding a fuel additive, fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel. If
only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage.
•
Add fuel additive following manufacturer's instructions.
•
Make sure you have water supply to pump inlet
connected and turned ON.
•
Run the engine outdoors for several minutes to be sure
that treated fuel has replaced the untreated fuel in the
carburetor.
If fuel additive is not used, remove all fuel from tank and run
engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
STORAGE
Draining Fuel Tank and Carburetor:
If fuel additive is not used, remove all fuel from tank and
carburetor.
•
Place an approved fuel container below carburetor and
use a funnel to avoid spilling fuel.
•
Remove carburetor drain bolt (A), then move fuel valve
lever to "On" position.
•
After all fuel has drained into container, reinstall drain
bolt. Tighten both securely.
Ch ange Engine Oil
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill
with recommended grade. See Changing Engine Oil.
Oil Cylinder Bore
•
Remove spark plug. Squirt about a tablespoon of clean
engine oil into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with
rag. Pull recoil handle slowly to distribute oil. Avoid spray
from spark plug hole.
•
Install spark plug. DO NOT connect spark plug wire.
