FOR STORAGE
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of
time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and
"freeze" pump action. If you do not plan to use the
pressure washer for more than 30 days, follow this
procedure:
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 the engine and let it cool, then remove all
hoses. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.
3. Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling the
recoil handle about 6 times. This should remove most
of the liquid in the pump.
4. Use Generac brand pump saver to prevent corrosion
build up and freezing of pump.
5. Store unit in a clean, dry area.

Protecting the Pump
