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 retail item 6039, 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:
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel
causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or
on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs
& Stratton FRESH START

additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel
stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine
for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel
system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to
24 months.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Run
the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel
stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to
maintain freshness.
Change Oil
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill
with recommended grade. See Changing Engine Oil.

Battery Storage
Store your unit with the DC battery charger plugged in to
keep your battery charged and ready for use. If your unit is
stored below freezing temperatures, charge the battery for 24
hours prior to storage. Be sure to charge the battery once a
month to maintain a fully charged battery.
Protect Pump
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 pump from damage caused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver, Model 6039, 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 your local
Sears 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.
