STORAGE
Engine
Consult the engine instruction manual for the
manufacturer's recommendations forstorage.
To Prevent Fuel-Related Problems
1. Add Ethanol Shield™ fuel stabilizer following the
manufacturer’s instructions. When adding a gasoline
stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If
only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. If you keep a container
of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only
freshgasoline.
2. After adding a gasoline stabilizer, run the engine
outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure that treated gasoline
has replaced the untreated gasoline in thecarburetor.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the OFFposition.
4. Continue to run the engine until it stops from the lack of
fuel in the carburetor fuel bowl. Running time should be
less than 3minutes.
Pump
The manufacturer recommends using SIMPSON® /
POWERWASHER™ Pump Guard or equivalent when storing
the unit for more than 30 days and/or when freezing
temperatures are expected. SIMPSON® / POWERWASHER™
Pump Guard is environmentallyfriendly.
NOTE: Using pump guard helps provide proper lubrication
to the internal seals of the pump regardless of temperature
orenvironment.
