LONGTERM STORAGE
If you do not planto use the power washer for morethan 30 days,
you must preparethe engine and pump for long term storage.
PROTECTFUELSYSTEM
Fuel can become stale when stored for over 30 days. Stalefuel
causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or
on essential carburetor parts. To keep the fuel fresh, use a fuel
stabilizer, available as a liquid additive or a drip concentrate
cartridge.
There is no need to drain the gasoline from the engine if a fuel
stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine for
2 minutes to circulate the stabilizerthroughout the fuel system.
The engineand fuel can then be stored up to 24 months (per fuel
stabilizermanufacturer'sspecifications).
18
If the gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel
stabilizer,it must be drained into an approvedcontainer.Run the
engineuntil it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel stabilizer
in the storagecontaineris recommendedto maintainfreshness.
CHANGEO/L
While the engineis still warm, drain the oil from crankcase. Refill
with the recommendedgrade. See ChangingEngineOil in Engine
Maintenance.
