Winter Storage

NOTICE
You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.
1. Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and render your
unit inoperable.
2. Freezing damage is not covered under warranty.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1. Use Pump Saver to treat the pump. This minimizes freezing damage and lu-
bricates pistons and seals. Contact your local dealer for Pump Saver Solution.
2. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3 ft. section of garden hose to the
water inlet adapter. Pour RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into hose.
Pull the recoil handle twice. Disconnect the 3 ft. hose.
3. Store the unit in a clean, dry area (heated area preferred).

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. See the engine user manual
for specific instructions regarding this.

Protect Fuel System

Fuel Stabilizer:
Fuel will become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acids and
gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. Prior
to storage, if gasoline will not be treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained
from the engine into an approved container. After draining, run the engine until
it stops from lack of fuel.

1. Use cool water only.
2. Pull trigger at least 30 seconds every 3
mins. Thermal valve must be replaced.
1. Use teflon tape or pipe sealant to
tighten hose fitting, replace hose or gun
**If problem continues, take to your
pressure washer dealer
1. To gauge the oil level, look directly into the
sight glass. Oil level should always be at
the center dot. Do not overfill. Replace
w/ SAE 30 non detergent mineral oil
1. Bring Unit local service center to have seals
replaced
