formation of acids during storage.Acidic gascandamagethe
fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
beforestorage of 30 days or longer. Drainthe fuel tank, start
the engineand let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are
empty. Usefresh fuel next season.See Storagefor additional
information.
NEVERuse engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damagemay occur.
Lubricate OoRings
Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation
and operation. The useof a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic
grease)during assembly helps seat o-rings properly and
provides an improved seal. it alsohelps protect the o-ring
from damageby abrasion, pinching or cutting and extends
the life of the o-ring.
NOTICE ALWAYSapply a small amount of lubricant on
o-rings prior to assemblingthe garden hoseto the pump (A),
high pressurehose (B),spray gun (C), and nozzle
extension(D).
Lubricateaii connections shown bemow,fommowingthese
instructiofls:
1. inspect and clean connecting surfaces prior to
lubrication and assembly.
2. Uselubricants sparingly during assembly;a light film is
all that is required.
3. Usea small brush or cotton swab to applygrease
directly to o-rings wherethey are not accessible (QC
