Shutting The Unit Down & Storage - BE Commercial Serie Manual Del Operador

SHUTTING THE UNIT DOWN
1. Move the burner switch to the "OFF" position.
2. Squeeze the trigger and discharge the water for three minutes to cool the heat exchanger and high
pressure hose. Insufficient cool-down periods for the high pressure hose will cause excessive wear and
eventual rupture of the hose.
3. Do not close the choke to stop the engine. Backfire or engine damage may occur.
4. Move the engine key switch to the OFF position.
5. Turn off the water supply and pull the trigger of the gun to relieve trapped pressure.
Disconnect and drain the high pressure hose, gun, and lance. Wipe the unit clean and store in a non-
freezing environment.
STORAGE & WINTERIZING
If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than 30 days, you must prepare the engine and
pump for long term storage. See the engine user manual for specific instructions regarding this.
When storing the unit for winter, it is important to ensure it is stored in the right environment. Ensure the
storage area stays above freezing during cold weather, and try to limit the amount of dust gathered on the
unit via a cover.
Storage covers can be flammable.
• DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot pressure washer.
• Let equipment cool for at least 30 minutes before placing the cover on the equipment.
You will need to ensure that the fuel is drained from the engine prior to storage. For the steps required to do
this, see the engine user manual.
Once the unit has been stored and the gasoline has been drained, the last thing to do is to winterize your
pump. This can be done in one of two ways:
• BE "Pump Saver" Solution (P/N: 85.490.046). This is an anti-freeze solution that is used before storing
the unit. It coats to inside of the pump to ensure that any residual water doesn't freeze. To use BE Pump
Saver, follow the instructions written on the bottle. Water freezing in the pump will damage seals and
other internal parts. Freezing damage is not covered by warranty.
• BE "Pump & Coil Blowout Tool" (P/N: 59.400.000). This tool utilizes compressed air to forcefully
remove any water left in the pump. One end of the tool attaches to an air compressor, while the other
attaches to the inlet of your water pump via an adapter. Follow the instructions on the back of the
packaging to use the Pump and Coil Blowout Tool.
Be certain the hoses and spray gun are not attached to the pump during application of pump saver or use
of the blowout tool. Having a hose attached greatly reduces the amount of water/debris removed from the
pump and coil.
You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.
1. Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and render your unit inoperable.
2. Freezing damage is not covered under warranty.
