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 Iong
term storage.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fue! filter,
fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experienceindicates
that alcohoPbbnded fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, whbh leads to separation
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damagethe fuel system of an engine while in storage.
Pretect Fnel System
FueJAdditive:
Fuelcan become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel
causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or
on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuet fresh, use Briggs
& Stratton FRESHSTARTrMfuet stabilizer, available 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 stabiiizer throughout the fuel
system. The engine and fuei 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 fuei. The use of a fuel
stabiiizer in the storage container is recommended to
maintain freshness.
