Storage Procedure For Longer Than 3 Months; Removal From Storage; Dismantling And Disposal - Westinghouse WPX2700 Instruction Manual

Storage Procedure for Longer than
3 Months
1. Carry out any necessary scheduled maintenance
or repairs.
2. Change the engine oil if it wasn't done in the
previous step.
3. Follow the procedure described in Steps 1 to 13
of After Each Use.
4. Remove the spark plug (see Spark Plug
Maintenance) and pour a tablespoon of clean
engine oil into the spark plug opening. While
placing a clean rag over the spark plug opening,
slowly pull the recoil starter handle to rotate the
engine several times. This will distribute the oil
and protect the cylinder wall from corrosion during
storage.
5. Re-install the spark plug (see spark Plug
Maintenance).
6. Drain the fuel (see Draining the Fuel).
7. Wipe down the pressure washer with a rag or
chamois.
8. Store the pressure washer in a clean, dry and well
ventilated place that is not subject to freezing
temperatures.

Removal from Storage

Follow the normal procedures for pre-operation
checks and starting (see Before Starting the Pressure
Washer).
Use only fresh fuel to re-fill the tank, if necessary,
rather than re-using the old fuel.
If oil was inserted into the cylinder prior to storage, the
exhaust may smoke for a short while after starting the
pressure washer; this is normal and will cease within a
minute or so of running time.

DISMANTLING AND DISPOSAL

There is no requirement for the pressure washer to
be dismantled during normal operation other than for
major repair, overhaul or prior to final disposal at the
end of its service life.
Dismantling should only be carried out by a
mechanically proficient person with access to proper
tools or alternatively by your authorised Westinghouse
service dealer for a fee.
Before dismantling:
1. Stop the pressure washer.
2. Drain the engine oil.
3. Drain the fuel.

NOTICE
Do not pollute the environment by improper or
illegal disposal of the waste fluids. Dispose of
these hazardous items only at an authorised waste
collection or recycling facility.
Do not pollute the environment by improper or
illegal disposal of the pressure washer either as
a whole or in parts. Take the unwanted unit or
components to your local recycling centre instead.
The pressure washer is made almost entirely of
metals that can be recycled.
