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.
Protect Fuel System
Fuel Additive:
fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel
system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel
fresh, use Briggs & Stratton® Advanced Formula
Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer, available wherever
Briggs & Stratton genuine service parts are sold.
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. 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.
Storing the Engine
See the engine operator’s manual for instructions on
how to properly prepare the engine for storage.

deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver, Model 6039,
