3. Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil through the
spark plug hole, pull the starter grip several times and
replace the plug. Then pull the starter grip slowly until
you feel increased pressure which indicates the piston
is on its compression stroke and leave it in that
position. This closes both the intake and exhaust
valves to prevent rusting of cylinder.
4. Cover the pressure washer and store in a clean, dry
place that is well ventilated away from open flame or
sparks.
NOTE: The use of a fuel additive, such as STABIL
an equivalent, will minimize the formulation of fuel
deposits during shortage. Such additives may be added
to the gasoline in the fuel tank of the engine, or to the
gasoline in a storage container.
