Power Stroke PS80312E Manual Del Operador página 20

NOTE: Make sure the water supply is connected and
turned on when allowing the pressure washer engine to
run.
 Make sure the engine switch is in the OFF position and
the fuel valve is in the CLOSED position.
 Disconnect both the high pressure hose and the garden
hose from the pump.
 Empty the pump by pulling on the starter grip and rope
about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid from
the pump.
NOTICE:
If the location where your pressure washer is stored will
fall below 32°F, the use of a pump protector is required
before storing to prevent freeze damage. Freeze damage
will void your warranty.
 Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant
as described in Adding/Checking Engine Lubricant in
the Operation section of this manual.
 Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle
lubricant through the spark plug hole into the combustion
chamber.
 Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter grip and rope
two or three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
 Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as necessary.
 Reinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire
disconnected.
 Clean the air filter.
 Extend the starter grip and rope to check its condition.
If the rope is frayed, have it replaced immediately by a
qualified service center.
 Remove all hoses. Coil the hoses and store as shown.
Do not allow the hose to become kinked.
 For short-term storage, connect the charging cable and
allow the battery to charge. For long-term storage, dis-
connect the cable and coil it neatly.
 Store the unit and accessories in an area that does not
reach freezing temperatures. Do not store near furnace or
other sources of heat that could dry out the pump seals.
MAINTENANCE
PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE

manual.
BATTERY REMOVAL AND PREPARATION
FOR RECYCLING
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or explosion, do not
short circuit the battery terminals. Keep sparks and flame
away. Do not use metal tools for connections and keep
metal objects away from the battery terminals. Metal
objects can make a connection from one terminal to an-
other. Shorting the battery terminals together can cause
sparks, burns, or a fire.
Consult your local waste authority for information regarding
available recycling and/or disposal options.
WARNING:
Upon removal, cover the battery's terminals with heavy-
duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or disas-
semble battery or remove any of its components. Lead
acid batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Also, never touch both terminals with metal objects and/
or body parts as short circuit may result. Keep away from
children. Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in fire and/or serious injury.
