LONG TERM STORAGE
If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more
than 30 days, you must prepare the engine and pump
for long term storage.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also,
experience indicates that alcohol-blended
fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture,
which leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.
Protect Fuel System
Fuel Additive:
If adding a fuel additive, fill the fuel tank with fresh
fuel. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote
fuel deterioration during storage. Engine and fuel can
be stored up to 24 months with additive.
•
Add fuel additive following manufacturer's
instructions.
•
Make sure you have water supply to pump inlet
connected and turned ON.
•
Run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure
that treated fuel has replaced the untreated fuel in
the carburetor.
If fuel additive is not used, remove all fuel from tank
and run engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
Change
Oil
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase.
Refill with recommended
grade. See "Changing Oil"
on page 17.
Oil Cylinder
