LONG TERM STORAGE - ENGINE
Before storing the pressure washer set for an extended period:
Ensure that the storage area is free of excess humidity and dust.
Drain the fuel tank and the carburetor.
Storage Duration
Less than 1 Month
1 Month to 1 Year
1 Year or More
Preparation Required
No storage preparation required, simply store
as is.
Drain the old gas and completely fill the
tank with fresh gas before storage. Add fuel
stabilizer according to the manufacturer's
directions. Run the engine outdoors for 5-10
minutes to ensure the stabilized gas has
replaced the untreated gas in the carburetor.
Adding a quality fuel stabilizer can keep gas
fresh for up to a year.
Drain off the gasoline from the fuel tank, and
store in a suitable container. This will help prevent
deposits from forming in the fuel system.
Loosen the carburetor drain bolt. Take off the
spark plug cap and revolve the engine 3 or 4 times,
by pulling the recoil handle, to fully discharge the
gasoline from the fuel lines.
Tighten the drain bolt of the carburetor.
Change oil while engine is still warm from
operation.
Remove the spark plug, and pour a tablespoon
of clean engine oil (10~20ml) into the cylinder.
Revolve the engine several times by pulling on the
recoil start to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark
plug. Pull the starter grip slowly until you feel
resistance. At this point, the piston is coming up
on its compression stroke and both the intake and
exhaust valves are closed. This position helps to
protect the engine from internal corrosion.
