WinterStorage
NOTICE
You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.

yourunitinoperable.
Freezedamageisnotcoveredunderwarranty.
To protectthe unit from freezingtemperatures:
1. Follow steps 1-3 in the previous section After EachUse.
2. Use pump saver, Model6039, to treat pump. This
minimizes freezedamageand lubricates pistons and
seals.
3. If pump saver is not available,connect a 3-foot section
of garden hoseto water inlet adapter. Pour
RV-antifreeze(antifreezewithout alcohol) into hose.
Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect3-foot hose.
4. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
LongTermStorage
If you do not plan to usethe pressure washer for morethan
30 days,you must prepare the engine and pump for long
term storage.
Protect FuelSystem
FuelAdditive:
Fuelwill becomestale whenstored over30 days. Stalefuel
causesacids and gum depositsto form in the fuel system or
on essentialcarburetor parts. Prior to storage, if gasoline
has not beentreated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained
from the engine into an approvedcontainer. Then run engine
until it stops from lack of fuel.
Whenfuel stabilizers are usedaccording to their
instructions, there is no needto drain the gasoline from the
engine prior to storage. Use Briggs & Stratton FRESH
STARTTM fuel stabilizer, availableas a liquid additive or a drip
concentrated liquid cartridge. Runthe engine for a short time
to circulate stabilizer throughout the fuel system. Engineand
fuel canthen be stored up to 24 months.
If gasoline is drained,the useof a fuel stabilizer in the
storage container is still recommendedto maintain
freshness.
Storing the Engine
Seethe engine operator's manualfor instructions on howto
properly preparethe engine for storage.
Protecting the Pump
To protect the pump from damagecaused by mineral
deposits or freezing, usePumpSaver,Model 6039, to treat
pump. This prevents freezedamageand lubricates pistons
and seals.
