Pressure Washers

To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:

1. Use a commercially available pump protector to treat the pump. This minimizes
   freezing damage and lubricates pistons and seals. Contact your authorized dealer
   for pump protector solution.

2. If pump protector solution is not available, connect a 3 ft. (30.5cm) section of garden
   hose to the water inlet adapter. Pour RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into
   hose. Pull the recoil handle twice. Disconnect the 3 ft. (30.5cm) hose.

3. Store the unit in a clean, dry area (heated area preferred).

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.

Fuel Stabilizer:
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 will not be treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained from the engine into
an approved container. After draining, run the 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. Run the engine for a short time to circulate
stabilizer throughout the fuel system. Engine and fuel can then be stored for up to 24
months.
If gasoline is drained, the use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is still
recommended to maintain freshness.

See the engine operator’s manual for instructions on how to properly prepare the engine for storage.

NOTE: Pump protector solution is available as an optional accessory. It is not included with the pressure washer. Contact your closest authorized dealer to purchase pump protector solution.

To use pump protector solution, make sure the pressure washer is turned off and disconnected from supply water. Read and follow all instructions and warnings given on the pump protector solution container.

1. DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless it has been treated as described in Protect Fuel System.

2. Replace the 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.
