After Each Use - Briggs & Stratton 2550 MAX PSI / 2.3 MAX GPM Manual Del Operario

Air Cooling System
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and
cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For
this reason, we recommend you have a qualified service
dealer clean the cooling system per recommended intervals
(see Maintenance Schedule in beginning of Maintenance
section). Equally important is to keep top of engine free from
debris. See Clean Debris.
Keep areas within heavy line clear of debris.

After Each Use

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and freeze
pump action. Follow these procedures after every use:
1. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun in a
safe direction, press red button and squeeze trigger to
relieve trapped pressure, and let engine cool.
WARNING: The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin and
its underlying tissues, leading to serious injury
and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is
stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause
injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red button
and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high pressure, every
time you stop engine.
2. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure
outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, spray gun, and
nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.
3. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about six times. This should remove most liquid
in pump.
4. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
5. If storing for more than 30 days, see Long Term
Storage on next page.
WARNING: Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns
or death.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes
dryers, or other appliances that have pilot light or other
ignition source because they can ignite fuel vapors.
