LONG TERM STORAGE
If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than
30 days, you must preparethe engine and pump for long
term storage.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming m
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also. experience
indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol
or methanol) can attract moisture, which leadsto separation
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damagethe fuel system of an engine while in storage.
Protect Fuel System
Fuel Additive:
Fuel can become stab when stored over 30 days. Stab fuel
causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system
or on essential carburetor parts. To keepfuel fresh, use
Briggs & Strattan@ Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment &
Stabilizer, available wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine
service parts are sold.
For engines equipped with a FRESHSTART@fuel cap,
use Bfiggs & Strattan FRESHSTART@available in a drip
concentrate cartridge.
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.
Change Oil
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill
with recommended grade. See ChangingEngine Oil.
