Winter Storage
NOTICE
You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.
• Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and
render your unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1. Follow steps 1-5 in the previous section After Each Use.
2. Use pump saver, Model 6039, to treat pump. This
minimizes freeze damage and lubricates pistons and
seals.
3. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3 ft. (92 cm)
section of garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour
RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into hose.
Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3 ft. (92 cm) hose.
4. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
Long Term Storage
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.
Protect Fuel System
Fuel Additive:
Fuel will become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel
causes acids and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or
on essential carburetor parts. Prior to storage, if gasoline
has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained
from the engine into an approved container. Then run engine
until it stops from lack of fuel.
When fuel stabilizers are used according to their
instructions, there is no need to drain the gasoline from the
engine prior to storage. Use Briggs & Stratton FRESH
START™ fuel stabilizer, available as a liquid additive or a drip
concentrated liquid cartridge. Run the engine for a short time
to circulate stabilizer throughout the fuel system. Engine and
fuel can then be stored up to 24 months.
If gasoline is drained, the use of a fuel stabilizer in the
storage container is still recommended to maintain
freshness.
Change Oil
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill
with recommended grade. See Changing Engine Oil in Engine
Maintenance.
Oil Cylinder Bore
• Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml)
of clean engine oil into the cylinder.
• Install spark plug and pull starter handle slowly to
distribute oil.
Protecting the Pump
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver, Model 6039, to treat
pump. This prevents freeze damage and lubricates pistons
and seals.
NOTICE
You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.
• Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and
render your unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
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.
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.
Other Storage Tips
1. DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless it
has been treated as described in Protect Fuel System.
2. Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or
dirt in fuel can cause problems if it's used with this
unit.
3. Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does not
retain moisture.
WARNING
Storage covers can be flammable.
• DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot pressure washer.
• Let equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing the cover
on the equipment.
4. Store unit in a clean and dry area.
