STORiNg ThE PRESSURE wAShER
See Figure 32.
Store the pressure washer with the gas tank empty by either
draining the tank or running the pressure washer until the
gas runs out. Allow 30 minutes of “cool down” time before
storing the machine. Store in a dry, covered area where the
weather can’t damage it.
It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. Always
empty water from all hoses and the pump before storing.
NOTE: Use of a fuel stabilizer and pump saver will give you
better performance and increase the life of the machine.
discharge Fuel:
Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored gas can go stale in
30 days.
Engine Lubricant:
Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant.
Spark Plug:

Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle
lubricant through the spark plug hole into the combustion
chamber.
 Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter cord two or
three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
 Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as necessary.
 Reinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire
disconnected.
Air Filter:

Clean the air filter.
hoses and Pump:
Flush the injection hose with clean water for 1-2 minutes.
Remove all hoses. Empty the pump by pulling on the recoil
starter about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid
from the pump.
handlebar:
NOTE: Before lowering the handlebar, disconnect the high
pressure water hose from the trigger handle outlet coupler.
 To lower the handlebar for storage, remove the acorn nut
and knob.
 Rotate handlebar forward to the next indentation in handle
spacer.
 Retighten knob and acorn nut to secure.
PREPARiNg FOR USE AFTER STORAgE
 Restore handle to operating position.
 Pull the recoil starter grip three or four times to clean
lubricant from the combustion chamber.
 Remove spark plug from the cylinder. Wipe lubricant from
the spark plug and return it to the cylinder.
 Reconnect the spark plug wire.
 Refuel the machine as described earlier in the operator’s
manual.
