Long Term Storage - Briggs & Stratton Elite 3300 MAX PSI Manual Del Operador

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 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 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.
Change Engine Oil
Drain engine oil from crankcase. Refill with
recommended grade. See Changing Engine Oil in
Engine Maintenance.

Protecting the Pump
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver, Model 6039,
to treat pump. This prevents freeze damage and
lubricates pistons and seals.
NOTICE PumpSaver is available as an optional
accessory. It is not included with the pressure washer.
Contact the nearest authorized service center to
purchase PumpSaver.
NOTICE You must protect your unit from freezing
temperatures.
• Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and
render your unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To use PumpSaver, make sure the pressure washer is
turned off and disconnected from supply water. Read
and follow all instructions and warnings given on the
PumpSaver container.
Other Storage Tips
1. DO NOT store fuel from one season to another
unless it has been treated as described in Protect
Fuel System.
2. Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/
or dirt in fuel can cause problems if it's used with
this unit.
3. Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that
does not retain moisture.

resulting in death or serious injury.
• DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot pressure
washer.
• Let equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing
the cover on the equipment.
