CAUT{0N! Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leadsto separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damagethe
fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the fuel tank, start
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are
empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage for additional
information.
NEVERuse engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damage may occur.
Lubricate OoRings
Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation
and operation. The use of a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic
grease) during assembly helps seat o-rings properly and
provides an improved seal. it also helps protect the o-ring
from damage by abrasion, pinching or cutting and extends
the life of the o-ring.
NOTICE ALWAYSapply a small amount of lubricant on
o-rings prior to assembling the garden hoseto the pump (A),
high pressure hose (B), spray gun (C), and nozzle
extension (D).

these
instructiofls:
1.
inspect and clean connecting surfaces prior to
lubrication and assembly.
2.
Use lubricants sparingly during assembly; a light film is
all that is required.
3.
Use a small brush or cotton swab to apply grease
directly to o-rings where they are not accessible (QC
fitting, M22 fitting).
