PREPARING UNIT FOR
STORAGE
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of
time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and
"freeze" pump action. If you do not plan to use the pressure
washer for more than 30 days, follow this procedure:
1. Empty all chemical reservoirs as follows:
a. Disconnect hose connected to chemical inject fitting
on pump. Place end of hose into suitable container.
b. Rotate one of the chemical shut-off valves to "On"
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 chemical inject fitting on pump.
Add 0.5 liter of clean fresh water to each tank and
close tanks covers.
2. Flush chemical system by selecting one tank, turning its
chemical shut-off valve to "On" position and run
pressure washer with black nozzle. Flush until first tank
is empty.Turn its chemical shut-off valve to "Off"
position. Flush other tank the same way.
3. Shut off engine and let it cool, then remove high
pressure and garden hoses. Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug.
4. Empty pump of liquids by pulling engine recoil handle
about 6 times.This should remove most liquid from
pump.
5. Use pump saver to prevent corrosion build up and
freezing of pump.
6. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
Protecting the Pump
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver to treat pump.This
prevents freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
NOTE: PumpSaver is available as an optional accessory. It is
not included with the pressure washer. Contact the nearest
authorized service center to purchase PumpSaver.
To use PumpSaver, make sure the pressure washer is
turned off and disconnected from supply water. Read and
follow all instructions and warnings given on the PumpSaver
container.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
Read and follow all cautions and warnings on the
PumpSaver can label.
• Always wear eye protection when using PumpSaver.
CAUTION
PumpSaver will drip from pump after treatment and
will stain wood and concrete.
• Protect surfaces from dripping PumpSaver.
NOTE: If PumpSaver is not available, draw RV antifreeze
(non-alcohol) into the pump by pouring the solution into a
3-foot section of garden hose connected to inlet adapter
and pulling recoil handle twice.
