HOW TOUSENOZZLES

The quick-connect on the nozzle lance allows you to switch

between different nozzles. Nozzles can be changed while the

power washer is running, once the spray gun trigger is locked

in the safety position. The nozzlesvary the pressure and spray

patternas shown.

* Forthe most effectivecleaning, keepthe nozzlefrom 8 to 24

inches (20 to 61 cm) awayfrom the surfacebeing cleaned.

* If you getthe nozzletoo close,especiallyusinga highpressure

nozzle,you may damagethe surfacebeing cleaned.

The highpressurestreamof waterthatthis equipment

producescancutthroughskinand itsunderlying

* Freezedamageisnotcoveredunderthewarranty.

Toprotectthe unitfrom freezingtemperatures:

1. Followsteps 1-3 inthe previoussection, After EachUse.

2. Use a pump saver to treat pump. This minimizes freeze

damageand lubricatesthe pistonsandseals.

3. If a pump saver is not available,connect a 3-foot sectionof

garden hose to the water inlet adapter. Pour RV-antifreeze

(antifreeze without alcohol) into the hose. Pull the recoil

handletwice. Disconnectthe 3-foot hose.

4. Storethe unit in a clean, dry area.

LONGTERM STORAGE

If you do notplanto usethepowerwasherfor morethan 30 days,

you must preparetheengineand pumpfor long term storage.

PROTECTFUELSYSTEM

Fuelcan become stale when stored for over 30 days. Stalefuel

causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or

on essentialcarburetor parts. To keepthe fuel fresh, use a fuel

stabilizer, available as a liquid additive or a drip concentrate

cartridge.

Thereis no needto drain the gasolinefrom the engineif a fuel

stabilizeris added according to instructions. Runthe enginefor

2 minutesto circulatethe stabilizerthroughout the fuel system.

Theengineandfuel canthen bestored up to 24 months (perfuel

stabilizermanufacturer'sspecifications).

If the gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel

stabilizer,it must be drainedinto an approvedcontainer.Runthe

engineuntil it stops from lack of fuel. Theuse of a fuel stabilizer

in thestoragecontaineris recommendedto maintainfreshness.

CHANGEO/L

Whilethe engineis still warm, drain the oil from crankcase.Refill

with the recommendedgrade.SeeChangingEngineOil in Engine

Maintenance.

PROTECT/NGTHEPUMP

Toprotectthe pumpfrom damagecausedby mineraldepositsor

freezing, use PumpSaver,Model 61350, to treat the pump. This
