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 1-4 in the previous section After Each
Use.
2. Use Pump Saver™, available at Sears retail item
74403, to treat pump. This minimizes freeze
damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
3. If Pump Saver is not available, connect a 3-foot
section of garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour
RV–antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into
hose. Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3-foot
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.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience
indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol,
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads
to separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
Protect Fuel System
Fuel Additive:
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days.
Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the
fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep
fuel fresh, use Briggs & Stratton® Advanced Formula
Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer, available at your local
Sears or by calling 1-888-331-4569 or online at www.
sears.com.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine
if a fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions.
Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer
throughout the fuel system before storage.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a
fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved
container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
The use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is
recommended to maintain freshness.
STORAGE
Change Oil
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase.
Refill with recommended grade. See Changing Engine
Oil.
