Shutdown, Flushing and Storage

days)
• Before you store the pressure washer overnight or
transport it, disconnect the water supply and
CLOSE the fuel supply valve.
• After each use, wipe all pressure washer surfaces
with a clean, damp cloth.
Long-term (more than 30
days)/Winter Storage
• Do not store unit outside where it can be exposed to
rain, dirt or adverse weather conditions.
• Do not expose pressure washer to freezing temper-
atures or allow water to freeze in pressure washer
components which could cause the pump to
lock-up. If this happens, allow the pump to thaw nat-
urally in a WARM ENVIRONMENT. Do not attempt
to speed up this process by pouring warm water on
the pump. This could cause additional damage to
the pump.

it through fuel system and carburetor.
2. Drain water out of pressure washer hose.
3. Turn fuel system of OFF position.
PUMP:

the ground. Attach one end of a 4- or 5-foot section
of hose to pump inlet and other end in the antifreeze
solution.
2. Pull starter rope on engine until antifreeze comes
out of pump outlet.
