Storage
WARNING! Fuel and its vapors are extremely
ammable, which could cause burns or re,
resulting in death or serious injury. Do not store
fuel near ignition source.
1. Place detergent siphon tube in water and ush
detergent from system by running pressure washer
with black spray tip.
Protecting Fuel System
2. Treat or drain fuel from pressure washer as 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 a fuel stabilizer.
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 before storage.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container.
Then 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.
Protecting the Pressure Washer
3. Turn o water and purge system.
4. Disconnect and drain all hoses, spray gun and spray
wand.

about six times.
NOTICE Store spray gun indoors and keep from freezing.
Protecting the Pump
6. Treat pump with Pump Saver.
Use Pump Saver to protect pump from damage caused by
mineral deposits and freezing. It also lubricates pistons and
seals. See Common Service Parts.
Read and follow all Pump Saver warnings and instructions.
If Pump Saver is not available, connect a 3 ft. (1 m)
section of garden hose to water inlet. Pour RV-antifreeze
(antifreeze without alcohol) into hose. Pull recoil handle

resulting in death or serious injury. Do not place
a storage cover over a hot pressure washer. Let
