STORAGE

STORAGE WITH FUEL IN TANK

Gasoline fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid
and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or crucial carburettor parts. To keep
fuel fresh:
1. Add a fuel stabiliser liquid additive to fuel.
2. Run engine for a minimum of 2 minutes to allow it to circulate throughout the
engine
Draining gasoline is unnecessary if the fuel stabiliser is used according to the
instructions that come with it. Run pressure washer engine for a minimum of two
minutes, after stabiliser is added to fuel, to allow it to circulate throughout the
engine. The engine and fuel can be stored up to 24 months.
WARNING

RUST PREVENTION IN CYLINDERS

1. Remove spark plug and pour approx. 15ml (1/2oz) of clean engine oil into the
cylinder.
2. Install spark plug and pull starter handle slowly to distribute oil. DO NOT start
engine at this time.
3. Slowly pull the recoil starter 2-3 times to distribute and coat the cylinder bore
with oil.
WARNING
Fuel and fuel vapour are extremely flammable and
explosive. Fire or explosion from misuse of fuel can
cause severe burns and even death.
Unintentional sparking can cause fire or electrical
shock. Failure to observe this warning can cause
severe property damage, severe burns and even
death.
Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and cover
tip of spark plug wire with insulating tape and place
wire where it cannot come in contact with spark plug
or pressure washer frame.
