3. Using a wrench, disconnect the plumbing that connects to the heating
coil inlet. The water will flow out of the heating coil. This will protect
the coil from freeze damage.
4. Open both water inlet ball valves and remove the cap from the water
filter. This will drain the pump and water inlet plumbing.
Long Term freeze protection: (For more than 30 days)
RV antifreeze will save the components from freeze damage and keep them
lubricated.
1. Drain water from the feed tank.
2. Disconnect both high pressure hoses from the high pressure water outlet
fitting.
3. Fill feed tank with 5 gallons of RV antifreeze.
4. Run the engine (with burner off) until RV antifreeze comes out of both
high pressure water outlet openings.
Make sure excess antifreeze is disposed of safely.
Prepare engine for
long term storage
(if storing more than
30 days)
First prepare the engine for long term storage if you will not be using
the pressure washer again for more than 30 days.
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and
gum deposits to form in the fuel system which can cause malfunction of the
engine.
1. Prepare fuel system for storage:
o Drain all gasoline from the tank and carburetor. This is most easily
accomplished by running the pressure washer with the high pressure
hose until the engine stops from lack of fuel.
OR
o Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline (following manufacturer's
instructions)
Fuel stabilizer steps:
a. Ensure gas tank is full.
b. Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank.
c. Run pressure washer with high pressure hose at least 5
minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to enter the fuel
system.
d. Shut off engine
2. Lubricate cylinder and piston:
a. Disconnect spark plug wire and remove spark plug
b. Add one teaspoon oil through spark plug hole
c. Place rag over spark plug hole and turn starter (or pull the recoil) a
few times to lubricate the combustion chamber.
d. Replace spark plug, but do not reconnect the spark plug wire.
