WINTER STORAGE
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 protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1.
Follow steps 1-5 in the previous section After Each Use.
2.
Use pump saver, Model 6039, to treat pump. This
minimizes freeze damage and lubricates pistons and
seals.
3.
If pump saver is not available, connect a 3 ft. (1 m)
section of garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour
RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into hose. Pull
recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3 ft. (1 m) hose.
4.
Store unit in a clean, dry area.
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.
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, experience indicates
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
damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
Protect Fuel System
Fuel Preserver:
Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel allowing at least 1.5" of tank
space for fuel expansion as shown on page 8, 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. Engine and fuel can be stored up to 6 months
with fuel preserver.
•
Check level of fuel preserver cartridge. Fuel preserver is
dark in color.
•
If cartridge is almost empty or empty, replace with a new
fuel preserver cartridge following the instructions in Fresh
Start™ Fuel Cap.
If fuel preserver is not used, remove all fuel from tank and
run engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
STORAGE
Change Engine Oil
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill
with recommended grade. See Changing Engine Oil.
Oil Cylinder Bore
•
Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of
clean engine oil into the cylinder.
•
Install spark plug and pull starter handle slowly to
distribute oil.
Protect 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.
NOTE: PumpSaver is available as an optional accessory. It is
not included with the pressure washer. Contact your local
Sears service center to purchase PumpSaver.
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.
Storage covers can be flammable.
• 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.
4. Store unit in a clean and dry area.
