HOW TOUSENOZZLES
The quick-connect on the nozzle lance allows you to switch
between different nozzles. Nozzles can be changed while the
power washer is running, once the spray gun trigger is locked
in the safety position. The nozzlesvary the pressure and spray
patternas shown.
* Forthe most effectivecleaning, keepthe nozzlefrom 8 to 24
inches (20 to 61 cm) awayfrom the surfacebeing cleaned.
* If you getthe nozzletoo close,especiallyusinga highpressure
nozzle,you may damagethe surfacebeing cleaned.
The highpressurestreamof waterthatthis equipment
producescancutthroughskinand itsunderlying
tissues,leadingto seriousinjury,possibleamputation
or death. Spray gun trapshighwaterpressure,even
whenengine is stoppedand wateris disconnected,
whichcancauseinjury.
* NEVERexchangenozzleswithoutthetriggerlockbeingengagedon

* Freezedamageisnotcoveredunderthewarranty.
Toprotectthe unitfrom freezingtemperatures:
1. Followsteps 1-3 inthe previoussection, After EachUse.
2. Use a pump saver to treat pump. This minimizes freeze
damageand lubricatesthe pistonsandseals.
3. If a pump saver is not available,connect a 3-foot sectionof
garden hose to the water inlet adapter. Pour RV-antifreeze
(antifreeze without alcohol) into the hose. Pull the recoil
handletwice. Disconnectthe 3-foot hose.
4. Storethe unit in a clean, dry area.
LONGTERM STORAGE
If you do notplanto usethepowerwasherfor morethan 30 days,
you must preparetheengineand pumpfor long term storage.
PROTECTFUELSYSTEM
Fuelcan become stale when stored for over 30 days. Stalefuel
causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or
on essentialcarburetor parts. To keepthe fuel fresh, use a fuel
stabilizer, available as a liquid additive or a drip concentrate
cartridge.
Thereis no needto drain the gasolinefrom the engineif a fuel
stabilizeris added according to instructions. Runthe enginefor
2 minutesto circulatethe stabilizerthroughout the fuel system.
Theengineandfuel canthen bestored up to 24 months (perfuel
stabilizermanufacturer'sspecifications).
18
If the gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel
stabilizer,it must be drainedinto an approvedcontainer.Runthe
engineuntil it stops from lack of fuel. Theuse of a fuel stabilizer
in thestoragecontaineris recommendedto maintainfreshness.
CHANGEO/L
Whilethe engineis still warm, drain the oil from crankcase.Refill
with the recommendedgrade.SeeChangingEngineOil in Engine
Maintenance.
PROTECT/NGTHEPUMP
Toprotectthe pumpfrom damagecausedby mineraldepositsor
freezing, use PumpSaver,Model 61350, to treat the pump. This
preventsfreezedamageand lubricatesthe pistonsandseals.
