MAINTENANCE PUMP LUBRICATION The pump on this product was lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required. PUMP MAINTENANCE Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump. If you notice any leaking of lubricant around the pump seals, take the pressure washer to a qualified service center for repair. There are no user serviceable parts to the pressure washer pump. Any attempt to service or alter the pump may damage the pressure washer and void your product warranty. STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER See Figure 20. NOTE: Regular use of fuel stabilizer and pump protector will give you better performance of the unit and increase the life of the pump. WARNING: While storing, keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of this product, including overhead. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of "cool down" time before storage. Heat created by muffler and exhaust gases could be hot enough to ignite combustible objects. Store in a dry, covered area where the weather can't damage it. It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. A­ lways empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the soap tank before storing. n Drain the fuel tank completely by running the pressure washer until the gas runs out. Stored gas can go stale in 30 days. NOTE: Make sure the water supply is connected and turned on when allowing the pressure washer engine to run. n Make sure the on/off switch is in the OFF position. n Disconnect both the high pressure hose and the garden hose from the pump. n Empty the pump by pulling on the starter grip and rope about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid from the pump. NOTICE: If the location where your pressure washer is stored will fall below 32°F, the use of a pump protector is required before storing to prevent freeze damage. Freeze damage will void your warranty. n Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant as described in Changing Engine Lubricant earlier in this manual. n Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug. Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle lubricant through the spark plug hole into the combustion chamber. n Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter cord two or three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall. n Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as necessary. n Reinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire disconnected. n Clean the air filter. n Extend the starter grip and rope to check its condition. If the rope is frayed, have it replaced immediately by a qualified service center. n Remove all hoses. Coil the hoses and store as shown. Do not allow the hose to become kinked. n Pull the handle release knob out and lower the handle to the down position. n Store the unit and accessories in an area that does not reach freezing temperatures. Do not store near furnace or other sources of heat that could dry out the pump seals. PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE n Pull the starter grip and rope three or four times to clean lubricant from the combustion chamber. n Remove spark plug from the cylinder. Wipe lubricant from the spark plug and return it to the cylinder. n Reconnect the spark plug wire. n Refuel the machine as described earlier in the operator's manual. 15 - English
