Storing The Pressure Washer - Husky HU80709 Manual Del Operador

CHANGING ENGINE LUBRICANT
See Figure 20.
 Shut off the engine.
 Clean the area around the oil fill cap/dipstick, then remove
the oil fill cap/dipstick.
 Tilt the pressure washer on its side with the air cleaner
facing up. Drain oil into approved container.
NOTE: Drain the lubricant while the engine is still warm
but not hot. Warm lubricant will drain quickly and more
completely.
 After the crankcase is completely drained, return the
pressure washer to an upright position.
 Fill with lubricant following the instructions in Adding/
Checking Engine Lubricant earlier in this manual.
CHECKING SPARK PLUG
See Figure 21.
 Clean the area around the base of the spark plug before
removing to keep dirt and debris out of the engine. Re-
move spark plug.
 Clean off carbon deposits on the spark plug electrode
using a plug cleaner or wire brush. Replace the plug if
worn or reuse is questionable. (Recommended spark
plug: CHAMPION RC12YC or equivalent.)
 Check electrode gap. The gap should be .762 mm. Adjust
the gap, if necessary, by carefully bending the ground
electrode.
 Reinstall spark plug. Torque to 22.0-26.9 Nm (16-20 ft-
lb).

STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 22.
Store the pressure washer with the gas tank empty by either
draining the tank or running the pressure washer until the
gas runs out. Allow 30 minutes of "cool down" time before
storing the machine. 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. Always
empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the detergent
bucket before storing.
MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Use of a fuel stabilizer and pump saver will give you
better performance and increase the life of the machine.
Discharge Fuel:
Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored gas can go stale in
30 days.
Engine Lubricant:
Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant.
Spark Plug:
 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 cord two or

three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as neces-

sary.
 Reinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire
disconnected.
Air Filter:
Clean the air filter.

Hoses and Pump:
Flush the injection hose with clean water for 1-2 minutes.
Remove all hoses. Empty the pump by pulling on the recoil
starter about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid
from the pump.
PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE
Pull the recoil starter grip 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.
