time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump
parts and "freeze" pump action. Follow these
procedures after every use:

shut-off valves to "Off' position and run pressure
washer with black spray tip. Flush for one to two
minutes.

Empty pump of all liquids by pulling recoil handle
about 6 times. This should remove most liquid in
pump.
If storing for more than 30 days see "Long Term
Storage" on next page.
Uncoil high pressure hose and inspect it for
damage. Cuts in hose or fraying could result in
leaks and loss of pressure. Should any damage
be found, replace hose. DO NOT attempt to repair
a damaged hose. Replace hose with genuine
Sears part.
Disconnect hose from spray gun and high
pressure outlet on pump. Drain water from hose,
gun, and nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off

WARNINGI
NEVER store the engine with fuel
in the gas tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly
ventilated areas where fumes may reach an
open flame, a spark, or pilot light.
WINTER STORAGE
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1.
Empty all chemical reservoirs as follows:
a.
Disconnect hose connected to chemical inject
fitting on pump. Place end of hose into
suitable container.
b.
Rotate one of the chemical 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.
Reconnect hose to chemical inject fitting on
pump. Add 0.5 quart of clean fresh water to
each tank and close tanks covers.
2.
Flush chemical system by selecting one tank,
turning its chemical shut-off valve to "On _ position
and run pressure washer with black spray tip.
Flush until first tank is empty. Turn its chemical
shut-off valve to "Off' position. Flush other tank
the same way.
3.
Shut off engine and let it cool, then remove high
pressure and garden hoses. Disconnect spark
plug wire from spark plug.
4.
Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about 6 times. This should remove most
liquid in pump.
5.
Use pump saver, available at Sears retail item
71-74403, to treat pump. This minimizes freeze
damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
6.
If pump saver is not available, connect a 3-foot
section of garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour
RV-antifreeze
(antifreeze without alcohol) into
hose. Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3-foot
hose.
