Storing for More Than Two Months

1. Make sure the engine is completely cool.
2. Remove all the fuel from fuel tank, fuel lines, and carburetor by loosening the drain screw
at the bottom of the carburetor, and draining fuel into an appropriate container.
3. Change the engine oil.
4. Remove any dirt and debris from the area around the spark plug, then use a spark plug
socket or wrench to remove the spark plug.
5. Pour .5 ounces (15 ml) of new oil into the engine combustion chamber, then slowly crank
the engine by pulling the recoil two (2) times to distribute oil and lubricate the cylinder.
6. Install the spark plug.
7. Drain the high-pressure hose.

more than 30 days and/or when freezing temperatures are expected.
9. Store the pressure washer in a clean, dry area out of direct sunlight.

Transportation

Leaving the pressure washer in an enclosed space where temperatures can rise on a
transport vehicle may cause fuel to vaporize and possibly explode. Fire and explosions
can cause severe burns and/or death. To avoid leaking or vaporizing fuel, secure the
pressure washer in a well ventilated area out of direct sunlight and other heat sources
and do not transport the pressure washer on rough roads unless the fuel has been
drained beforehand.
1. Turn the engine control switch to the OFF position.
2. To prevent fuel spillage when transporting, keep the pressure washer upright on a level
surface.
3. Secure pressure washer with straps or tie downs to prevent tip over and damage from
sliding.
NOTE: Do not operate the pressure washer while it is on the transport vehicle.
