of time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump
parts and freeze pump action. Follow these procedures
after every use:
1. Flush detergent system by turning its detergent
shut-o valve to OFF (0) position and run pressure
washer with black spray tip. Flush for one to two
minutes.
2. Shut o engine, turn o water supply, point gun
in a safe direction, press red button and squeeze
trigger to relieve trapped pressure, and let engine
cool.
3. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high
pressure outlet on pump. Drain water from hose,
gun, and nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe o
the hose.
4. Place spray gun, nozzle extension, and spray tips
in accessory holders. Coil high pressure hose on
hose wrap.
5. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about six times. This should remove most
liquid in pump.
6. Store unit in a clean, dry area.

Winter Storage
NOTICE You must protect your unit from freezing
temperatures.
• Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and
render your unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1. Empty cleaning tank as follows:
a. Rotate detergent shut-o valve to OFF (0)
position.
b. Disconnect hose connected to barbed tting
on pump. Place end of hose into suitable
container.
c. Rotate detergent shut-o valve to ON (I)
position and open the tanks cover. Gravity will
empty tank contents into container.
d. Reconnect hose to barbed tting on pump.
Add 1 pint (0.5 liter) of clean fresh water to
cleaning tank and close tanks cover.
2. Flush cleaning tank by turning its detergent
shut-o valve to ON (I)position and run pressure
washer with black spray tip. Flush until tank is
empty. Turn detergent shut-o valve to OFF (0)
position.
3. Follow steps 2-5 in the previous section After
Each Use.
4. Use pump saver, Model 6039, to treat pump. This
minimizes freeze damage and lubricates pistons
and seals.
5. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3-foot (1
m) section of garden hose to water inlet adapter.
Pour RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol)
into hose. Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect
3-foot (1 m) hose.
6. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water
that this equipment produces could cut
through skin and its underlying tissues,
resulting in serious injury and possible
amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected, which
could result in serious injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray
gun while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red
button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high
pressure, every time you stop engine.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely
ammable and explosive which could
cause burns, re or explosion
resulting in death or serious injury.
STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes
dryers, or other appliances that have pilot light or other
ignition source because they could ignite fuel vapors.
CAUTION
Excessively high operating speeds
could result in minor injury.
Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.
• DO NOT tamper with governor spring, links or other
parts to increase engine speed. Pressure washer
supplies correct rated pressure and ow when running at
governed speed.
• DO NOT modify pressure washer in any way.
