LONGTERM STORAGE

If you do not planto use thepower washerfor morethan 30 days, you must preparetheengineandpump for longtermstorage.

PROTECTFUELSYSTEM

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum depositsto form in the fuel system or on essentialcarburetorparts. Tokeep fuelfresh, useafuel stabilizer, availableas a liquidadditiveor a drip concentratecartridge.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizeris addedaccording to instructions. Runthe enginefor 2 minutesto circulatethe stabilizerthroughoutthe fuel system.The engineandfuel can then bestored up to 24 months.

If gasolinein theenginehas notbeentreatedwith a fuel stabilizer, it must bedrainedintoanapprovedcontainer.Runtheengineuntil it stops from lack offuel.Theuseof a fuelstabilizerin thestorage

While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill with recommended grade. See Changing Engine Oil in Engine

Maintenance.
