Fig. EE 14 STORAGE Engine Consult the engine instruction manual for the recommendations for storage. 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 fresh gasoline. 2. After adding a gasoline stabilizer: a. Connect the cold water source to pump inlet, turn on cold water source and squeeze the spray gun trigger for approximately 30 seconds or until a steady stream of water is present. Release the spray gun trigger. b. Start pressure washer/engine. See Starting for the correct procedure. Run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the carburetor. 3. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position. 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 3 minutes. 5. Turn off the cold water source. 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 environmentally friendly. NOTE: Using pump guard helps provide proper lubrication to the internal seals of the pump regardless of temperature or environment. NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Use only SIMPSON® / POWERWASHER™ Pump Guard or equivalent. Other products could be corrosive and/or contain alcohol which may cause pump damage. 1. Turn off pressure washer and disconnect hoses from pump. 2. Unscrew bottle valve from Pump Guard bottle and remove seal. 3. Screw bottle valve back onto bottle. English 4. Attach bottle to water inlet of pump. 5. Squeeze bottle to inject contents into pump. WARNING: Use Manual Mode Start-up Procedure (without battery) instructions. Do not install battery. 6. With the engine ON/OFF switch in the OFF position, simultaneously pull starter rope and squeeze bottle. Repeat until protector fluid exits pump outlet. NOTE: This step may require two people. Pressure Washer WARNING: Risk of Damage. DO NOT store battery pack in pressure washer when not in use. Remove battery pack after every use. 1. Shut down the pressure washer. See Shutting Down for the correct procedure. 2. Drain all water from high pressure hose, coil it and store it in cradle of the pressure washer handle. 3. With nozzle pointed down and the spray gun and wand in a vertical position, squeeze spray gun trigger to drain all water from spray gun and wand. Store in spray gun holder. 4.
