LONGTERM 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 fuei system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter,
fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experienceindicates
that alcohoi-biended fuels (calied gasohot, ethanoi or
methanol) can attract moisture, which ieads to separation
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damagethe fuel system of an engine while in storage.
Pretect Fuel System
FueJAdditive:
Fueican become staie when stored over 30 days. Staie fuel
causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuei system or
on essentiai carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs
& Stratton FRESHSTARTTM fuel stabiiizer, avaiiabie as a
liquid additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.
There is no needto drain gasoiine from the engine if a fuet
stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine
for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel
system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to
24 months.
If gasoiine in the engine has not been treated with a fuei
stabiiizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Run
the engine untii it stops from iack of fuel. The use of a fuel
stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to
maintain freshness.
