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:
•
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.
•
Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove all
hoses.
•
Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.
•
Empty the pump of all liquids by pulling recoil
handle about 6 times. This should remove most of
the liquid in the pump.
•
If storing for more than 30 days see "Long Term
Storage" on page 15.
