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.

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.
