 Lift the soap tank and replace the battery bracket back
in position.

on the hose barb on the back of the soap tank.
 Reinstall the nuts, bolts, and washers securing the soap
tank and battery bracket to the pressure washer frame.
Tighten securely.

bracket.

STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 23.
NOTE: Regular use of fuel stabilizer and pump protector
will give you better performance of the unit and increase
the life of the pump.
WARNING:
While storing, keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides
of this product, including overhead. Allow a minimum of
30 minutes of "cool down" time before storage. Heat cre-
ated by muffler and exhaust gases could be hot enough
to ignite combustible objects.
Store in a dry, covered area where the weather can't damage it.
It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. Al-
ways empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the soap
tank before storing.
 Drain the fuel tank completely by running the pressure
washer until the gas runs out. Stored gas can go stale in
30 days.
NOTE: Make sure the water supply is connected and
turned on when allowing the pressure washer engine to
run.
 Make sure the on/off switch is in the OFF position and
fuel valve is in the closed position.
 Disconnect both the high pressure hose and the garden
hose from the pump.
 Empty the pump by pulling on the starter grip and rope
about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid from
the pump.
MAINTENANCE
NOTICE:
If the location where your pressure washer is stored will
fall below 32°F, the use of a pump protector is required
before storing to prevent freeze damage. Freeze damage
will void your warranty.
 Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant
as described in the engine manual.
 Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle
lubricant through the spark plug hole into the combustion
chamber.
 Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter grip and rope
two or three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
 Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as necessary.
 Reinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire
disconnected.
 Clean the air filter.
 Extend the starter grip and rope to check its condition.
If the rope is frayed, have it replaced immediately by a
qualified service center.
 Remove all hoses. Coil the hoses and store as shown.
Do not allow the hose to become kinked.
 Store the unit and accessories in an area that does not
reach freezing temperatures. Do not store near furnace or
other sources of heat that could dry out the pump seals.
PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE
 Pull the starter grip and rope three or four times to clean
lubricant from the combustion chamber.
 Remove spark plug from the cylinder. Wipe lubricant from
the spark plug and return it to the cylinder.
 Reconnect the spark plug wire.
 Refuel the machine as described earlier in the operator's
manual.
BATTERY REMOVAL AND PREPARATION
FOR RECYCLING
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or explosion, do not
short circuit the battery terminals. Keep sparks and flame
away. Do not use metal tools for connections and keep
metal objects away from the battery terminals. Metal
objects can make a connection from one terminal to an-
other. Shorting the battery terminals together can cause
sparks, burns, or a fire.
