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 siphoning tube by placing the filter
into a pail of clean water while running pressure
washer in low pressure mode. Flush for one to two
minutes.
2. Shut off engine, let it cool, then remove all hoses.
3. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.
4. Empty pump of all liquids by pulling recoil handle
about 6 times. This should remove most liquid in
pump.
5. If storing for more than 30 days see "Long Term
Storage" on next page.
6. Coil high pressure hose and inspect it for damage.
Cuts in hose or fraying could result in leaks and
loss of pressure. Should any damage be found,
replace hose. DO NOT attempt to repair a
damaged hose. Replace hose with genuine Sears
part.
7. 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.
8. Coil hose and properly hang it on accessory tray
provided.
9. Reconnect spark plug wire to spark plug.
10. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable
and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
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 can ignite fuel vapors.
WHEN DRAINING FUEL
• Turn pressure washer OFF and let it cool at least 2
minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to
relieve pressure in tank.
• Drain fuel tank outdoors.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat, and other ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

STORAGE

WINTER STORAGE

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. Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing filter
into a pail of clean water while running pressure
washer in low pressure mode. Flush for one to two
minutes.
2. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about 6 times. This should remove most
liquid in pump.
3. Use pump saver, available at Sears retail item
71-74403, to treat pump. This minimizes freeze
damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
4. 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.
