PREPARING THE 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. Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter into
a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in
low pressure mode (adjustable nozzle in the forward
position). Flush for one to two minutes.
2. Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove high
pressure and garden hoses. Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug.
3. Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling the
recoil handle about 6 times.This should remove most
of the liquid in the pump.
4. Use PumpSaver to prevent corrosion build up and
freezing of pump.
5. 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, model number 01559, is available as an
optional accessory. It is not included with the pressure washer.

render your unit inoperable.
