LOHGTERM STORAGE
If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for morethan
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, experienceindicates
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
damagethe fuel system of an engine while in storage.
Protect Fuel System
FuelPreserver:
Fillthe fuel tank with fresh fuel allowing at least 1.5"of tank
spacefor fuel expansion as shown on page8, when using a
fuel preserver cartridge with the fresh start fuel cap. If only
partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration
during storage. Engineand fuel can be stored upto 6 months
with fuel preserver.
• Check level of fuel preserver cartridge. Fuelpreserver is
dark in color.
• If cartridgeis almost empty or empty, replacewith a new
fuel preservercartridgefollowing the instructions in Fresh
StartTM FuelCapon page9.
If fuel preserver is not used, remove all fuel from tank and
run engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill
with recommendedgrade. See ChangingEngine Oil.
