To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1. Follow steps 1-4 in the previous section After EachUse.
2. Use pump saver, available at Sears retail item 6039, to
treat pump. This minimizes freeze damageand lubricates
pistons and seals.

of garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour
RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into hose. Pull
recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3-foot hose.
4. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
LOHGTERM 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, experience indicates
that alcohol-bbnded fuels (calbd 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 FueJSystem
Fuel Additive:
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 fuel fresh, use Briggs
& Stratton FRESHSTARTTM fuel stabilizer, available as a
liquid additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel
stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine
for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel
system. The engineand fuel can then be stored up to
24 months.
If gasoline in the engine has not beentreated with a fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Run
the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel
stabilizer in the storage container is recommendedto
maintain freshness.
Whib engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill
with recommended grade. See ChangingEngine Oil.
