Note: The o-rings create a seal so there is no need to tighten it with a wrench.
Step 3. Select Suitable Location
Mounting Instructions
- The pressure washer should be positioned on a firm, level (less than 3-degree slope), heat-resistant surface with good drainage and a nearby water supply.
- The pressure washer should be placed within the garden hose distance of a continuous water supply. Ensure that the pressure washer sits level and will not slide or shift during operation. If applicable, block the pressure washer’s wheels to prevent movement.
- Situate so there is adequate pulling room for starting the engine using the recoil starter. Attempting to pull at an odd angle could rip off the grip cord and/or cause muscular injuries to the operator.
- Mounting dimensions and pattern are as shown below in fig06747.
Supplied flange bolts (Part # 82625) and flange nuts (Part #82631) and secured to 23 ft-lbs. Torque.
WARNING: Lifting hazard
The pressure washer is heavy. It can crush and cause serious injury or tip
over. Follow the instructions below for safely moving the pressure washer.
Outdoor Use Only
Select a suitable outdoor location.
- Never run the pressure washer in an enclosed or partially enclosed location such as a building, garage, barn, shed, or house. These spaces can trap poisonous gases. Running a fan or opening windows will not provide adequate ventilation to prevent dangerous CO build-up.
- Only use the pressure washer outdoors at least 20 feet from the home, away from windows, vents, and air intakes, to allow proper ventilation. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the pressure washer, shut off the engine and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY.
- Position the pressure washer so that the exhaust fumes will not be directed toward people or building air intakes.
- Do not locate and use the pressure washer in the presence of flammable vapors, dust, gases, or other potentially combustible materials.
- Ensure that working, battery-operated, or battery back-up carbon monoxide alarms are used in any dwelling/structure that is near the running pressure washer.
- Note that this pressure washer is NOT designed or approved for use in vehicles or marine applications. Never run the pressure washer inside RVs or other vehicles, on boats, or pick-up truck beds.
WARNING: Location hazards
Choose a suitable site for operating your pressure washer to prevent possible
death from carbon monoxide poisoning or injury from fire/explosion, hot
surfaces, or equipment tip-over.
Airflow
- Situate so there is adequate clearance around the pressure washer to allow for airflow – at least 7 feet from any non-combustible wall or obstruction.
- Do not operate with a tarp, blanket, or cover surrounding the machine.
- Do not place any objects against or on top of the unit.
- The pressure washer needs an adequate, unobstructed flow of air to allow for proper combustion and adequate cooling. Proper combustion can only be obtained when there is a sufficient supply of oxygen available for the amount of fuel being burned. Cooling ventilation is required to prevent overheating of the pressure washer and possible fire.
Exhaust
WARNING: Exhaust Modification hazard
Never attempt to attach ductwork to the muffler system to allow for
installation inside an enclosure. This could cause heat build-up and increased
exhaust backpressure, resulting in possible exhaust leakage or damage to the
pressure washer.
- The exhaust gas from your pressure washer is extremely hot and can cause combustible materials to catch on fire.
- Make sure the engine is at least 7 feet from all combustible materials and structures during operation.
- Keep a fire extinguisher rated “ABC” nearby. Keep it properly charged and be familiar with its use.
- Place the unit so that the exhaust fumes will not be directed toward people or building air intakes.
DANGER: Carbon monoxide hazard
Exhaust fumes from the engine contain carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas
you cannot see, smell, or taste. The CO generated by the engine can rapidly
accumulate, even in areas that appear to be well-ventilated, resulting in
dangerous and fatal concentrations within minutes. NEVER run a pressure washer
inside any enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces, including homes, garages,
basements, sheds, boxes, pick-up truck beds, RVs, or boats. These spaces can
trap poisonous gases, EVEN if you run a fan or open windows. If you start to
feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the pressure washer, shut off the engine
and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Install Spark Arrestor (if required)
Equip the engine with a spark arrestor if the machine will be used near any
ignitable forest, brush, or grassland. (See engine Owner’s Manual provided to
determine if the engine is already equipped.) Make sure you comply with
applicable local, state, and federal codes.

- Modifications. Do not modify the pressure washer in any way or deactivate any safety device. Do not change or add to the fuel tank, fuel lines, or exhaust system. Modifications can result in hazards related to carbon monoxide poisoning, fuel leaks, fire, explosion, or other serious safety hazards, and will also void the warranty.
During Use
- Stay alert. Watch what you are doing at all times. Clear work area. Clear the work area of all bystanders. Keep children and pets away.
- Keep the spray away from electrical wiring. Spray contact with electrical wiring will likely result in severe electrical shock or electrocution.
WARNING
Do not spray live electrical components or systems.
- Hot exhaust/parts. Stay clear of engine exhaust. Never touch a hot engine muffler or other hot surfaces. All are very hot and will burn you.
- Do not direct the spray to this machine. Do not attempt to clean this machine with its spray. Engine damage will result. Cleaning should be done with a damp sponge with the engine OFF. Let the engine cool for at least two minutes before refueling.
- Avoid inhalation of exhaust. This product emits CO and chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
- Never pull by hose. Do not move this machine by pulling on the hose. Hose or connections could fail and result in catastrophic high-pressure release of fluid as well as hose whipping.
- Avoid sharp objects. Keep the hose away from sharp objects. Bursting hoses may cause injury.
- No load bearing. Do not use the pump to support other items of equipment that impose unacceptable loads on the pump. Do not attempt to use this machine as a prop.
- Lock trigger safety latch when not spraying. The spray gun is equipped with a built-in trigger safety latch to guard against accidental trigger release. Rotate the safety latch to the locked position when not spraying.
- Leaving unattended. Always turn off the pressure washer and relieve system pressure before leaving the sprayer unattended.
Prompt Emergency Response
- Seek medical aid for suspected injection injury. If injured by high-pressure fluid, no matter how small the wound is, see a doctor at once. A typical injection injury may be a small puncture wound that does not look serious. However, severe infection or reaction can result if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately by a doctor who is familiar with injection injuries.
- Seek medical aid for suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. The running engine gives off carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can kill you. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the pressure washer, shut off the engine and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Put on Personal Protective Gear
WARNING: Personal Protective Gear Use personal protective gear to prevent:

the face and body.
Notes
- The low oil shutdown feature prevents the engine from starting without sufficient oil.
- The engine is shipped without oil. You must add oil before first use.
Add Fuel
WARNING: Fuel Fire/Explosion Hazard Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. Heat, sparks, and flames can ignite fuel vapors, which can become widespread during fueling. A flash fire and/or explosion could result and cause serious injury or death. Always use extreme care when handling fuel. Carefully follow all instructions to avoid the following conditions which could result in fuel ignition:
- gas vapor collection inside enclosures
- static electric sparks
- sparks from electric wiring, batteries, or running engines
- sources of heat (such as a hot engine exhaust)
- open flames, including pilot lights
Always follow these general safety rules when fueling:
-
Turn the pressure washer off and allow it to cool for at least two minutes before removing any fuel cap.
Note: A running or still-hot engine is hot enough to ignite fuel. -
Fill the fuel tank OUTDOORS – never indoors. Fuel vapors can ignite if they collect inside an enclosure and an explosion can result.
-
Stay away from all sources of heat, sparks, and flames. Do not smoke.
-
Never pump fuel directly into the gas tank at a gas station – it could cause a static electric spark. Follow these steps to avoid static electric sparking during fueling:
- Use an approved portable container to transfer fuel to the pressure washer’s tank. (A portable container made of metal or conductive plastic is preferred because it dissipates charge to ground more readily.)
- Always place the container on the ground to be filled. Never fill the portable gas container while it is sitting inside a vehicle, trailer, trunk, or pick-up truck bed.
- Dissipate static charge from your body before beginning the fueling process by touching a grounded metal object at a safe distance from fuel sources.
- Keep the nozzle in contact with the container while filling. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
-
Clean up fuel spills/splashes immediately.
- If possible, move the pressure washer away from spilled fuel on the ground.
- Wipe up spilled fuel and wait 5 minutes for excess fuel to evaporate before starting the engine.
- Fuel-soaked rags are flammable and should be disposed of properly.
- If fuel is spilled on your skin or clothes, change clothes and wash your skin immediately.
Fill the Engine Fuel Tank
Check the gasoline tank level. If needed, fill the tank with fresh unleaded gasoline from a portable container:
- Remove the engine gas cap.
- Add gasoline through the fill opening:
- Use only a UL-approved portable gasoline container to transfer the gasoline to the engine’s tank.
- Do NOT overfill the gasoline tank. Allow at least 1/2″ of space below the fill neck to allow for fuel expansion.
- Replace the gas cap securely before starting the engine.
- Store extra gasoline in a cool, dry place in a UL- approved tightly sealed container.
Inspect Fuel System/Check for Leaks
Inspect the engine fuel system and check for leaks before each use. Do not
start pressure washer until all needed repairs have been completed.
WARNING: Fuel Leak Hazard
Gasoline fuel is highly explosive and fuel leaks can result in fire or
explosions. You can be burned and seriously injured if the fuel system is not
properly hooked up or there is a fuel leak when you start the engine.
Inspect the entire fuel system. Look for:
- signs of leaks or deterioration
- chafed or spongy fuel hose
- loose connections
- loose or missing fuel hose clamps
- damaged fuel tank or
- defective gasoline shut-off valve
Inspect Spray System
- Always inspect the spray system for damage and leaks before each use. Do not start pressure washer until all needed repairs have been completed.
WARNING: High-Pressure Fluid Injection Hazard
High-pressure fluid discharge from leaks (even pin-sized) or ruptured components can pierce the skin and inject fluid into the body. Injection injury can result in blood poisoning and/or severe tissue damage leading to infection, gangrene, and possibly amputation.
- Never use a finger or skin to check for leaks.
- Never operate the machine with damaged or missing hoses/parts.
- Never attempt to repair a high-pressure hose or component – Always replace it with a part that is rated at or above the pressure rating of this machine.
Perform Scheduled Maintenance, As Needed
Make sure that any other regular maintenance has been performed as prescribed
in this manual in the “Maintenance Schedule Summary” section. Refer to the
Engine Owner’s Manual for engine maintenance instructions.
Connect Hoses, Water Supply, and Spray Nozzle
Position Pressure Washer for Use
- For detailed instructions on positioning your pressure washer for use, turn to the “Initial Set-Up” section of this manual and reference “Step 3: Select Suitable Location”.
- Where no flammable vapors, dust, and gases are present.
- Where there is adequate, unobstructed ventilation airflow.
- With adequate clearance from combustible materials.
- On a firm, level, heat-resistant surface with good drainage and nearby access to a continuous water supply.
Attach Garden Hose to Water Inlet
- Make sure the water supply is clean. Debris can cause excess pump wear and reduce performance.
- An insufficient water supply will damage your pump. Make sure the water supply is steady and is 20% over the rated flow of your pump. Use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to fill a 5-gallon bucket with your garden hose. The bucket must fill faster than the times listed in the table below.
Model| Time to fill 5 Gallon Bucket
---|---
157119| 100 sec
157120| 72 sec - The water supply garden hose must have an inside diameter of at least 5/8”. If the hose is more than 100 ft. long, the diameter must be at least 3/4”.
- Never use a reservoir tank as a water source. Drawing water out of a tank may cause pump cavitation and damage to your pump. This pressure washer is designed for a pressurized water source such as a city water faucet. However, the water source pressure must not exceed:
Model#| Max. Inlet psi
---|---
157119| 60 psi
157120| 75 psi - Always use a flexible rubber hose for your water supply. Do not use rigid piping.
Attach a High-Pressure Hose to the Spray Gun and Water Outlet
WARNING: High Pressure
NEVER operate this pump with components (such as hose, connections, and spray
gun) rated for lower pressure and/or temperature limits than the machine’s
maximum rated pressure and temperature, or the component could rupture and
cause serious personal injury from escaping high-pressure fluids.
- See the “Component Identification” section of this manual for the location of the pressure washer’s water outlet.
- Your pressure washer hose is equipped with quick couplers. Simply pull the collar back and push the coupler onto the water outlet nipple. The collar should slide over the ball bearings.
- Release the collar, making sure it springs back and re-seats to its original (non-retracted) position. Check the connection by pulling on the hose to ensure a positive connection.
Select Nozzle for Spray Gun
Your pressure washer is equipped with four high-pressure nozzles. Generally,
the wider the spray angle of the nozzle, the lower the spray impact produced.
Select the appropriate nozzle for the job based on the following table:
Color of Nozzle: | Spray Angle | Used For |
---|---|---|
Yellow | 15 | Tough stains/Stripping |
Green | 25 | General |
White | 40 | Light Cleaning |
Black (low pressure) | 65 | Chemicals |
- You must use the low-pressure, black nozzle for spraying chemicals.
Attach Nozzle to Spray Gun
WARNING: Depressurize First
Any time you remove/install/change a nozzle, you must depressurize the hose
line by squeezing the spray gun trigger while the engine is off. Even if the
engine has been off for a long period, the hose may remain dangerously
pressurized.
- Make sure the engine is off and the hose line is depressurized.
- To install the nozzle, pull the collar back and twist the nozzle firmly into the coupler on the end of the wand.
- Release the collar, making sure it springs back and re-seats to its original (non-retracted) position. Check the connection by pulling on the nozzle to ensure a tight connection — if correctly inserted, the nozzle will rotate but not pull out.
Prime the Water Supply
Turn on Water Supply and Squeeze the Trigger
CAUTION: Water Pressure
Never run the pump without the water supply connected and turned on. Operating
the pressure washer without a sufficient incoming flow of water will damage
the pump.
- Turn on the water supply. Make sure the water supply is steady and flowing at a rate of 20% over the rated flow of your pump. (Reference the flow rate table under the Connect Hoses, Water Supply, and Nozzle” section.)
- Purge air from the water supply hose by squeezing the trigger until a steady stream of water flows out of the nozzle at low pressure. (Air in the hoses can cause damage to the pump, so always make sure all the air is out of the hoses before starting the pressure washer engine.)
- Make sure the water supply hose is not kinked. A kinked hose will provide insufficient water supply to the pump and reduce its life. Make sure the hose remains unkinked after moving the pressure washer.
Set Up for Chemical Spray (if desired)
Prepare for Chemical Spray (if planning to use) Using the proper cleaning chemical for the application can speed up cleaning jobs tremendously. Your pressure washer is equipped with a chemical injection point on the downstream side of the pump for introducing cleaning chemicals into the water stream. A braided chemical hose is provided to connect at this point. Suction pressure at this connection automatically draws the chemical solution in through the hose, mixing in 1 part chemical to 15 parts water. Adequate suction pressure is created only when the low-pressure (black) spray nozzle is used. The introduction of cleaning chemicals via the chemical injection point affords the following advantages:
- It protects the pump from damage because no chemical passes through the pump.
- It mixes the cleaning chemical into a low-pressure spray. Cleaning chemicals applied under low pressure adhere better to the surface being cleaned, allowing the formula time to react and remove dirt more effectively.
Note: An external upstream chemical injector is not recommended for use with this pressure washer, and if used would alter the 15-to-1 dilution ratio and may cause pump damage.
CAUTION: Chemicals Containing Muriatic Acid
Certain chemicals, such as bleach or those containing muriatic acid, will
cause pump damage if introduced upstream through the pump’s water inlet.
WARNING: Chemical Spraying
- Never spray acids, corrosives, or abrasive or flammable liquids. Breathing hazards, surface burns/corrosion, or fire/explosion could result.
- Follow the chemical manufacturer’s label instructions for proper use and handling of the chemical. Understand all safety hazards and first aid for all chemicals being used. Always wear protective gloves when handling and cleaning with chemicals, and wear other protective gear as directed by the chemical manufacturer. Always dispose of hazardous fluids per local, state, and national guidelines.
Acquire Cleaning Chemical
Use only approved pressure washer chemicals or chemicals specifically
formulated for use with pressure washers.
CAUTION: Non-approved Chemicals Non-approved chemicals can damage pressure washer components (seals, wand, hoses, pump, etc.) and be harmful to the environment.
Prepare for Chemical Spray (if planning to use)
Prepare the pressure washer for chemical spraying using the following steps:
-
Prepare (dilute) chemical cleaning solution as required for the job.
Note: the chemical solution will be automatically mixed with the water at a ratio of 15 parts water to 1 part chemical solution. -
Press the braided chemical hose over the chemical injector on the pump.
-
Submerge the suction strainer connected to the braided chemical hose into a bucket containing the chemical solution.
Start-Up Procedures
Start the Engine to Power the Pump
-
Make sure the water supply is connected and primed.
CAUTION: Warranty Void Running the pump dry will cause damage and void the warranty. -
To prevent accidental spraying, engage the safety latch on the spray gun trigger by rotating it to the locked position.
-
Follow the instructions in the Engine Owner’s Manual for starting the engine.
- If the engine doesn’t start on the first try, pressure may build up in the pump. Relieve pressure by squeezing the spray gun trigger before attempting to start the engine again. This will make starting easier.
- DANGER: Engine Exhaust Do not inhale engine exhaust. It contains dangerous carbon monoxide that can kill you.
Apply Cleaning Chemical (if desired)
- Make sure the chemical injector is properly set up according to the instructions. Reference “Set Up for Chemical Spray” on the previous page.
- Make sure the low-pressure BLACK nozzle is attached before beginning to spray chemicals. Only the low-pressure black nozzle will allow chemicals to be drawn through the chemical injector into the water stream.
- Apply chemicals by squeezing the spray gun trigger. The chemical injector will draw the chemical into the water stream.
- Apply chemicals evenly to the cleaning surface. Never use more chemicals than is necessary to clean the surface.
- Allow the chemicals time to react with the dirt before rinsing.
- Prepare to rinse by changing to a high-pressure nozzle. Changing the nozzle from the low-pressure black nozzle to a high-pressure nozzle will stop the flow of chemicals into the water stream. Instructions for selecting a nozzle can be referenced in the “Connect Hoses, Water Supply, and Spray Nozzle” section. See the subsection “Select Nozzle for Spray Gun”.
- Rinse with high-pressure spray as instructed:
Begin High-Pressure Spray
WARNING: High-Pressure Spraying Safety
- Keep the spray away from people. Never direct discharge stream at or near any person. Do not allow any part of the body to come in contact with the fluid stream. High-pressure spray can cause serious skin, eye, or falling injuries. Injection injury will occur if high-pressure spray pierces the skin, injecting liquid under the skin. Injection injury can result in blood poisoning and/or severe tissue damage leading to infection, gangrene, and possibly amputation. Seek medical attention.
- Do not secure the trigger open. To reduce the risk of injury, do not attempt to secure the spray gun open by blocking or tying the spray gun in the open position.
- Prevent slips/loss of balance. High-pressure spray could cause you to lose balance from kickback forces, and wet surfaces can be slippery.
- Keep good footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach.
- Keep the hose tidy while in use.
- Do not stand on unstable support when spraying.
- If spraying from an elevated surface, use fall protection because spray gun kickback can propel you off the elevated surface. When spraying from a ladder or scaffolding, ensure it is firmly anchored from sway or tip-over.
- Be aware of puddles and slippery surfaces. Ensure there is adequate drainage to prevent the pooling of water.
- Prevent surface damage & flying debris. Surfaces being sprayed must be strong enough to withstand high-pressure spray or damage may result. In addition, high-pressure spray will dislodge unsecured objects as well as surface chips and debris, resulting in hazardous flying objects that can cause personal injury or property damage. Do not spray brittle surfaces or breakable, fragile, or unsecured objects such as:
- stucco or laminar flagstone
- some painted surfaces
- windows or glass doors (they may break)
- light fixtures, flowerbeds, or mailboxes
- unsecured, lightweight objects
Procedure
-
Put on one of the high-pressure spray nozzles (always relieve system pressure first and follow instructions for attaching a nozzle).
-
Clear the cleaning area of all persons. Keep children and pets away.
-
Hold the spray gun firmly with two hands and a sturdy stance the gun kicks back when triggered.
-
Wash from the bottom to the top, using side-to-side motions. This washes away heavy dirt and allows the detergent to soak as you work toward the top.
-
Use the width of the spray pattern to wash a wide path. Overlap spray paths for complete coverage.
-
The nozzle should be 12″ to 24″ from the work, closer for tough areas.
-
Small parts should be washed in a basket so the pressure does not push them away. Larger, lightweight parts should be clamped down.
-
The pressure washer is set and locked to the maximum rated pressure when it leaves the factory. To reduce the pressure, turn the unloader knob counterclockwise. To return to maximum pressure turn the unloader knob clockwise.
WARNING: Warranty Void Do not attempt to alter the unloader valve’s maximum pressure. Excess pressure could cause serious injury from escaping high-pressure fluids and/or pump damage. Any alteration other than turning the adjustment knob will void your warranty. -
If temporarily interrupting spraying, rotate the trigger safety latch downward to the locked position to guard against accidental trigger release.
Spray Gun Safety Lock
When not spraying, use the spray gun safety lock to prevent accidental high- pressure discharge. -
Always turn off the engine and activate the spray gun trigger to relieve system pressure when:
- the sprayer is unattended, or
- disconnecting hoses, installing/cleaning nozzles, or servicing the pump.
WARNING: Injury
Always turn off the engine and relieve system pressure when finished spraying
or when leaving the sprayer unattended. Serious injury could result from
unintentional release of high-pressure spray.
Shutdown
WARNING: Injury
Never disconnect the high-pressure hose from the pump or spray gun while the
system is pressurized. Relieve pressure by squeezing the spray gun trigger
after the engine is turned OFF.
Stop the engine using the following steps:
- Turn the engine OFF.
- Turn the water supply OFF.
- Actuate spray gun trigger to relieve system pressure.
- Remove garden hose.
- Remove the pressure hose.
- Remove the nozzle from the spray gun.
- Turn the gasoline line valve to the OFF position.
- If chemicals were used, remove the chemical injector tube from the pump.
- Cool the engine for at least five minutes before storing it; a hot engine is a fire hazard.
Storage
When you are finished using the pressure washer, you must prepare the sprayer
for storage and store it in a proper location.
Between Use Storage
Perform periodic maintenance as directed in this manual to keep the
pressure washer in safe working condition.
Choose a storage location that is:
- Clean and dry.
- Away from sources of heat, open flames, sparks, or pilot lights, even if the pressure washer’s engine fuel tank is empty. Residual fuel fumes from the tank can ignite. Away from extreme high or low temperatures. Do not store the pressure washer in freezing conditions unless it is prepared as directed below for those conditions.
Note
- If you will be storing the pressure washer in freezing conditions, follow the instructions for preparing the sprayer for storage in freezing conditions.
- If you will not be using the pressure washer again for 30 days or more, follow the instructions for preparing the engine for long-term storage.
WARNING: Flammable Materials
- Fuel and its vapors can ignite and cause a fire. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from sources of heat, flame, or sparks.
- A hot engine can ignite flammable materials. Always let the engine cool for at least five minutes before storing.
Prepare Pressure Washer for Freezing Conditions
If you will be storing the pressure washer in freezing temperatures, you must
properly prepare the pressure washer to prevent water from freezing in the
system.
WARNING: Freezing Conditions
Do not allow water to freeze in the pressure washer, high-pressure hose, or
spray gun. Freezing water can cause damage to the equipment and cause the
spray gun to fail in the open position. A spray gun that has failed in the
open position can whip around and cause personal injury when the pressure
washer is started.
- Drain the water from the high-pressure hose and spray gun by depressing the trigger on the spray gun until all the water drains out.
- Disconnect the plumbing that connects to the pump outlet.
- Obtain the materials you will need:
- 12″ piece of garden hose or equivalent, funnel, and
- approximately 6 oz. of RV antifreeze.
- Attach the 12″ garden hose piece with the funnel to the pump inlet.
- Pour RV antifreeze into the funnel, then pull the recoil a few times until the antifreeze comes out of the pump outlet.
Prepare Engine for Long Term Storage
First, prepare the engine for long-term storage if you will not be using the
pressure washer for more than 30 days. Fuel can become stale when stored over
30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system
which can cause malfunction of the engine.
- Prepare fuel system for storage:
-
Drain all gasoline from the tank and carburetor. This is most easily accomplished by running the pressure washer with the high-pressure hose until the engine stops from lack of fuel. Drain the carburetor bowl after the engine has stopped and has been allowed to cool for at least two minutes.
OR -
Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline (following manufacturer’s instructions)
Fuel stabilizer steps:
- Ensure the gas tank is full.
- Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank.
- Run the pressure washer with a high-pressure hose for at least 5 minutes after adding the stabilizer to allow it to enter the fuel system.
- Shut off the engine.
Lubricate cylinder and piston:
- Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
- Add one teaspoon of oil through a spark plug hole.
- Place a rag over the spark plug hole and slowly pull the recoil a few times to lubricate the combustion chamber.
Replace the spark plug, but do not reconnect the spark plug wire.
Prepare Pressure Washer for Storage
- Make sure the engine start switch is OFF.
- Disconnect the engine spark plug wire if you haven’t already done so.
- Disconnect the high-pressure hose, garden hose, and spray gun.
Move Pressure Washer to Storage Location
Let the engine cool for 5 minutes before moving the pressure washer to its
storage location.
