Protecting The Pump - Snapper 020231 Manual Del Propietário

PREPARING THE UNIT
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:
I. 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 high
pressure and garden hoses. Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug.
3. Empty the pump of liquids by pulling the engine recoil
handle about 6 times.This should remove most of the
liquid in the pump.
4. Use pump saver to prevent corrosion build up and
freezing of pump.
5. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
Protecting
the
Pump
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver 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 the
nearest authorized service center to purchase PumpSaver.
CAUTION
. Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and
render your unit inoperable.
. Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
CAUTION
Always wear eye protection when using PumpSaver.
CAUTION
. Protect surfaces from dripping PumpSaver.
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.
NOTE: If PumpSaver is not available, draw RV antifreeze
(non-alcohol) into the pump by pouring the solution into a
3=foot section of garden hose connected to inlet adapter
and pulling recoil handle twice.
