Storage - BE Power Equipment B4014VTBA Manual Del Operador

Improper storage of the pressure washer will lead to failures that are not covered
by warranty.
In general, cover the pressure washer and store it in a clean and dry location.
Wipe off any dirt or water.
WATER – FREEZING WARNING
Leaving water in the pump and accessories can result in damage if the
water freezes. Water will expand when it turns to ice. The resulting force will
cause ruptures and crack brass fittings, valves, and seals requiring complete
replacements (not warrantable).
1. When the unit is not in use, drain all the hoses and spray gun assembly.
2. If the unit is going to be stored for a extended period, or if there is any chance
the pressure washer will be exposed to freezing temperatures, then plumbing/
RV anti-freeze must be cycled through the pumps water ways.
3. We recommend using BE Power Equipment Pump Saver Anti-Freeze. It has
a specially designed cap to thread right onto the garden hose fitting of the
pump. (Part number 85.490.046, contact your local dealer).
4. To apply, first ensure the engine and fuel valve are in the OFF position.
5. Thread the bottle onto the garden hose fitting of the pump and open the valve
on the cap. Pull the recoil to cycle the anti-freeze solution through the pump.
It is recommended to squeeze the bottle to force the anti-freeze into the pump
if needed. Continue until it comes out of the high-pressure hose fitting. At this
point, anti-freeze is protecting all the internal water chambers of the pump.
6. The best defense against freezing is to store the pressure washer in a warm
location that will not be exposed to freezing temperatures.
GASOLINE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM WARNING
Gasoline degrades overtime and will leave solid residues if it dries out in your fuel
system. This will clog the fuel system and result in failure to start the machine
(not warrantable).
1. Fuel degrades quicker the more it is exposed to air, and the greater the
ethanol percentage blend.
2. Fuel stabilizer is strongly recommended to slow down the degradation
process of fuel. Best practice is to mix the fuel stabilizer in the fuel storage
container.
3. If the unit will not be used within 30 days, then drain all the fuel from the tank
and carburetor.
3.1 Use fuel stabilizer in the tank to mix with the fuel.
3.2 To drain the fuel, have a container ready to catch the fuel.
3.3 Use a wrench to loosen the bottom bolt of the carburetor and let all
the fuel pour into the container. Once it stops, tighten the bolt. The fuel
stabilizer that was put in the tank earlier will help prevent any residue fuel
from drying into a hard residue.
3.4 Open the fuel valve of the engine.
3.5 To prevent wasting fuel, you can use the drained fuel in any vehicle that
uses the same type of fuel.
3.6 When storing gasoline, always use an airtight jerry can and fuel stabilizer
for best results. Best practice is to store fuel for no more than a year
before using it.
