Storage

If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than
30 days, you must prepare engine and pump for storage.
Protecting the Pump
To protect pump from damage caused by mineral deposits
or freezing, use PumpSaver to prevent freeze damage and
lubricate pistons and seals.
NOTICE Failure to protect unit from freezing
temperatures will damage pump and render unit
inoperable. Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
Protect Fuel System
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.
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.
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. Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does
not retain moisture.
WARNING! Storage covers could cause a fire
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.
3. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
