After Each Use - Briggs & Stratton BRUTE Manual Del Operador

Air Cooling System
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling
fins and cannot be observed without partial engine
disassembly. For this reason, we recommend you
have a qualified service dealer clean the cooling
system (Figure 23) per recommended intervals (see
Maintenance Schedule in beginning of Maintenance
section). Equally important is to keep top of engine
free from debris. See Clean Debris.
Keep areas within heavy line clear of debris.

debris
Clean Combustion Chamber
We recommend you have a qualified service dealer
remove combustion deposits from the cylinder,
cylinder head, top of piston and around valves per
recommended intervals (see Maintenance Schedule
in beginning of Maintenance section).

After Each Use

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of
time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump
parts and freeze pump action. Follow these
procedures after every use:
1. Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the
filter into a pail of clean water while running
pressure washer in low pressure mode. Flush for
one to two minutes.
2. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun
in a safe direction and squeeze trigger to relieve
trapped pressure, engage trigger lock on spray
gun and let engine cool.
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin
and its underlying tissues, leading to serious
injury and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even
when engine is stopped and water is
disconnected, which can cause injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray
gun while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray
gun trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop
engine. Engage trigger lock when not in use.
3. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high
pressure outlet on pump. Drain water from hose,
gun, and nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off
the hose.
4. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling
recoil handle about six times. This should remove
most liquid in pump.
5. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
6. If storing for more than 30 days, see Long Term
Storage on next page.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN
TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes
dryers or other appliances that have pilot light or other
ignition source because they can ignite fuel vapors.
