PREPARING
THE
UNIT
FOR STORAGE
Water
should not remain in the unit for long periods of
time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and
"freeze" pump action. If you do not plan to use the pressure
washer for more than 30 days, follow this procedure:
I.
Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter into
a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in
low pressure mode. Flush for one to two minutes.
2.
Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove high
pressure and garden hoses. Disconnect
spark plug wire
from spark plug.
3.
Empty the pump of liquids by pulling the engine recoil
handle about 6 times.This
should remove most of the
liquid in the pump.
4.
Use pump saver to prevent corrosion
build up and
freezing of pump.
5.
Store unit in a clean, dry area.
Protecting
the
Pump
To protect
the pump from damage caused
by mineral
deposits
or freezing, use PumpSaver
to treat pump.This
prevents
freeze
damage
and lubricates
pistons
and seals.
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.
CAUTION
. Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and
render your unit inoperable.
. Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.

. Protect surfaces from dripping 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.
NOTE:
