ENGINE
Consult the Engine Owner's Manual for manufacturer's recommendations for
storage.
TO PREVENT FUEL-RELATED PROBLEMS
1.
Add Ethanol Shield
When adding a gasoline stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only
partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage.
If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only
fresh gasoline.
2.
After adding a gasoline stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes
to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the
carburetor.
3.
Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
4.
Continue to run the engine until it stops from the lack of fuel in the carburetor
fuel bowl. Running time should be less than 3 minutes.
PUMP
The manufacturer recommends using SIMPSON
Guard or equivalent when storing the unit for more than 30 days and/or when
freezing temperatures are expected. SIMPSON
is environmentally friendly.
NOTE: Using pump guard helps provide proper lubrication to the internal seals of
the pump regardless of temperature or environment.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Use only SIMPSON
Pump Guard or equivalent. Other products could be corrosive and/or contain alco-
hol which may cause pump damage.
1.
Turn off pressure washer and disconnect hoses from pump.
2.
Unscrew bottle valve from Pump Guard bottle and remove seal.
3.
Screw bottle valve back onto bottle.
4.
Attach bottle to water inlet of pump.
5.
Squeeze bottle to inject contents into pump.
6.
With ignition switch off, simultaneously pull starter rope and squeeze bottle.
Repeat until protector fluid exits pump outlet. NOTE: This step may require
two people.
