1. Empty cleaning tank as follows:
a. Disconnect hose connected to injection fitting on
pump. Place end of hose into suitable container.
b. Rotate detergent shut-off valve to "On" position and
open the tanks cover. Gravity will empty tank
contents into container.

treat pump. This minimizes freeze damageand lubricates
pistons and seals.
4. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3-foot section
of garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour
RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into hose. Pull
recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3-foot hose.
5. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
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 fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter,
fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experienceindicates
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
damagethe fuel system of an engine while in storage.
Protect Fuel System
FuelPreserver:
Fillthe fuel tank with fresh fuel allowing at least 1.5" of tank
spacefor fuel expansion as shown on page8, when using a
fuel preserver cartridge with the fresh start fuel cap. If only
partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration
during storage. Engineand fuel can be stored up to 6 months
with fuel preserver.
• Checklevel of fuel preservercartridge. Fuel preserver is
dark in color.
• If cartridge is almost empty or empty, replacewith a new
fuel preservercartridge following the instructions in "Fresh
StartTM FuelCap" on page9.
If fuel preserver 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 19.
Oil Cylinder Bore
• Removespark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of
clean engine oil into the cylinder.
• Install spark plug and pull starter handle slowly to
distribute oil.
Protect Pump
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver, Model 6039, to treat
pump. This prevents freezedamageand lubricates pistons
and seals.
