Preparing For Use After Storage - Ryobi RY80533 SERIES Operator's Manual

NOTE: Make sure the water supply is connected and
turned on when allowing the pressure washer engine to
run.
 Make sure the on/off switch is OFF and fuel valve is
CLOSED.
 Disconnect the water connection.
 Empty the pump by pulling on the starter grip and rope
about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid from
the pump.
NOTICE:
The use of a pump protector is strongly recommended
after each use and before storing to prevent cold weather
and seal damage during storage.
 Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant
as described in Adding/Checking Engine Lubricant in
the Operation section of this manual.
 Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle
lubricant through the spark plug hole into the combustion
chamber.
 Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter cord two or
three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
