Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Operation (Continued)

STORAGE

• Do not store the pressure washer outdoors.
• Do not store the pressure washer where it might freeze unless it has been properly
winterized.
Long Term Storage Instructions (more than 30 Days in storage)
1. Remove fuel from the tank and run the pressure washer in a normal operating
mode until the engine stops from a lack of fuel. Normal operating mode means
actually spraying water from the gun while the engine is running.
Alternate method – Add fuel stabilizer to gas in the tank and run in normal
operating mode for at least five minutes.
2. Stop the engine, turn off the water supply, and trigger the gun to release pressure in
the high-pressure hose.
3. Disconnect the water supply and high pressure hose from the pump.
4. Allow the engine to cool.
5. Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
6. Pour 1/2 oz. of engine oil into the spark plug hole.
Never pull the starter rope on the engine when the spark plug is removed
unless the spark plug hole is covered. Fuel vapor from the hole can ignite
by a spark.
7. Place a rag over the spark plug hole and slowly pull the starter rope several times to
distribute the oil.

WINTERIZING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Follow and complete the Long Term Storage Instructions above.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
3. Disconnect the high pressure hose from the pump.
4. Insert a 12 in. to 14 in. piece of garden hose into the pump inlet.
5. Place a funnel in the other end of the garden hose.
Read the manufacturer's instructions for safe handling and disposal
of RV antifreeze.
6. Pour approximately 6 oz. of RV antifreeze into the funnel.
7. Pull the starter rope several times until the RV antifreeze comes out of the pump
outlet.
8. Disconnect the high pressure hose from the gun and drain the hose. Hold the gun
and lance in a vertical position and squeeze the trigger to drain the water out.

TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR PRESSURE WASHER

1. Never operate the unit without water.
2. Your pressure washer is not meant to pump hot water. Never connect your pressure
washer to a hot water supply as it will significantly reduce the life of the pump.
3. Running the unit for more than one minute without spraying water causes heat to
build up in the pump. Running the unit without spraying water can damage pump
components.
