AFTER EACH USE
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of
time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump
parts and "freeze" pump action. Follow these
procedures after every use:
• Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter
into a pail of clean water while running pressure
washer in low pressure mode (adjustable nozzle in
the forward position). Flush for one to two minutes.
• Shut off engine, let it cool, then remove all hoses.
• Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.
• Empty the pump of all liquids by pulling recoil
handle about 6 times. This should remove most of
the liquid in the pump.
• If storing for more than 30 days see "Long Term
Storage" on next page.
• Coil the high pressure hose and inspect it for
damage. Cuts in the hose or fraying could result in
leaks and loss of pressure. Should any damage be
found, replace the hose. Do Not attempt to repair a
damaged hose. Replace the hose with the genuine
Sears part.
• Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure
outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, gun, and
nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.
• Coil hose and properly hang it on the wire support
provided.
• Reconnect spark plug wire to spark plug.
• Store unit in a clean, dry area.
_ WARNING! Never store the engine with fuel in
the gas tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly
ventilated areas where fumes may reach an
open flame, a spark, or pilot light.
WINTER STORAGE
CAUTION! You must protect your unit from freezing
temperatures. Failure to do so will permanently
damage your pump and render your unit inoperable.
Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
• Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter
into a pail of clean water while running pressure
washer in low pressure mode (adjustable nozzle in
the forward position). Flush for one to two minutes.
• Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling
recoil handle about 6 times. This should remove
most of the liquid in the pump.
• Use pump saver, available at Sears retail item
# 74403, to treat pump. This prevents freeze
damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
• If pump saver is not available, connect a 3-foot
section of garden hose to the water inlet adapter.
Pour RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into
the hose. Pull the recoil handle twice. Disconnect
3-foot hose.
