Moving and Storage Instructions

5.1
High pressure water can remain in the unit even after it has been shut off. Always relieve the pressure in the
system immediately after shutdown.
- Be sure fuel valve is closed.
- Do not tilt unit more than degress from horizontal.
- When transporting the unit in a vehicle, secure it in place to prevent shifting or tipping.
5.2
Protect unit from freezing. If water in the unit is allowed to freeze, the high pressure system may be
damaged, creating a potential safety hazard due to high pressure or part failure. FREEZE DAMAGE IS NOT
COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. Do not start a unit that has been frozen—take it to an authorized service
center to be inspected and tested.
Do not store the unit in any place not suitable for gasoline storage, such as in the vicinity of a furnace
or gas water heater. Gasoline fumes are highly combustible.
High pressure water can remain in the unit even after it has been shut off. ALWAYS trigger the gun to
release trapped pressure immediately after shutdown.
- Drain water from pressure hoses, gun and extension and accessories after use.
- Failure to remove water from the unit before it is exposed to freezing temperatures can result in damage
to the pump manifold or other parts of the high pressure system. A winterizing siphon kit (Part No. WK 590-10)
is available for freeze-protection. Using this kit, a 50-50 mixture of ethylene glycol-type anti-freeze and water
is siphoned into the pump to replace the plain water. FREEZE DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY.
- Before storing unit, perform preventative maintenance. Change the pump oil and the engine oil, and service
the engine spark plug and air filter.
- Be sure that the fuel valve is closed.
- Before storing unit for long periods of time, drain fuel tank and carburetor of all fuel (see engine manual).
As an alternative, use a gasoline preservative additive when storing the unit for up to 6 months.
