ENGLISH

Engine Stored for Over 30 Days

1 . Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the tank .
2 . Run the engine for a few minutes so the treated fuel
cycles through the fuel system and carburetor .
3 . Turn the fuel valve to the "Off" position .
4 . Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped
the engine . This usually takes a few minutes .
5 . The engine needs to cool completely before cleaning
and storage .
6 . Clean the engine according to the maintenance section .
7 . Change the oil .
8 . Remove the spark plug and pour about 1⁄2 ounce
of oil into the cylinder . Crank the engine slowly to
distribute the oil and lubricate the cylinder .
9 . Reattach the spark plug .
DANGER
Engine exhaust contains odorless and colourless
carbon monoxide gas .
To avoid accidental or unintended ignition of the
product during periods of storage, the following
precautions should be followed:
– When storing the pressure washer for short or
long periods of time make sure that the Engine
Switch and the Fuel Valve are set in the OFF
position .
NOTE
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend
fuels . When using blended fuels there are some issues
worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone .
– These blends can eventually separate, leaving water
or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor .
– With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised fuel
can be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage
to the engine and/or potential hazards .
– There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer that
are formulated to work with ethanol blend fuels .
– Any damages or hazards caused by using improper
fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/or improperly
formulated stabilizers, are not covered by
manufacture's warranty .
It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply, run the
engine to fuel starvation and drain the tank when the
equipment is not in use for more than 30 days .
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Pressure Washer Storage

1 . Allow the pressure washer to cool completely before
storage .
2 . Turn off the fuel supply at the fuel valve .
3 . Clean the pressure washer according to the
instructions in the Maintenance section .
4 . Store the unit in a clean, dry area out of direct sunlight .
WARNING
Never store the pressure washer inside or next to
appliances where there is a source of heat or open
flame, spark or pilot light because they can ignite
gasoline vapors .
DO NOT store a pressure washer near fertilizer or any
corrosive material .
Even with an empty gas tank, gasoline vapors could
ignite .

Winter Storage

Protect your pressure washer parts from freezing .
1 . Apply all storage instructions from previous sections .
2 . Make sure pressure washer hose is free of all water
before storing for winter .
3 . In order to prevent the pump from freezing you will
need to insert RV antifreeze .
4 . You will need approximately 6 ounces of RV
Antifreeze, a funnel, and approximately
30 cm (12 in .) of garden hose or equivalent .
See diagram below .
5 . Pour the antifreeze into the funnel, then pull on the
engine recoil starter to create suction in the pump
housing . Pull the recoil several times until antifreeze
comes out of the pump outlet .
