AFTER EACH USE
WINTER
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. Follow these
procedures after every use:
1.
Flush detergent system by turning its detergent
shut-off valve to "Off" position and run pressure
washer with HydroFoam
TM
launcher. Flush for one
to two minutes.
2.
Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun in
a safe direction and squeeze trigger to relieve
trapped pressure, and let engine cool.
WARNING
Keep
high pressure
hose connected
to pump
and spray
gun while
system
is pressurized.
ALWAYS
point

and squeeze
spray
gun trigger,
to release
high pressure,
every time
you stop
engine.

WARNING
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.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1.
Empty all cleaning tanks as follows:
a.
Disconnect hose connected to injection fitting
on pump. Place end of hose into suitable
container.
b.
Rotate one of the detergent shut-off valves to
"On" position and open that tanks cover.
Gravity will empty tank contents into container.
c.
When first tank is empty, repeat step (b) for
other tank, using a different container.
d.

tank and close tanks covers.
2.
Flush detergent system by selecting one tank,
turning its detergent shut-off valve to "On" position
and run pressure washer with HydroFoam
TM
launcher. Flush until first tank is empty. Turn its
detergent shut-off valve to "Off" position. Flush
other tank the same way.
3.
Follow steps 2-7 in the previous section "After
Each Use".
4.
Use pump saver, available at Sears retail item
71-74403, to treat pump. This minimizes freeze
damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
CAUTION
• Failure
to do so will permanently
damage
your pump
and render
your
unit inoperable.
• Freeze
damage
is not covered
under warranty.
5.
