If you run the engine on your power washer for 3-5 minutes without

pressing the trigger on the spray gun, circulating water in the pump

can reach temperatures above 125°E The system engages to cool

the pump by discharging the warm water onto the ground.

Temperature Range of Expected Use

* Below 50°F(10°C) the use of SAE30 will result in hardstarting.

** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W30 may cause increased oil consumption.

Checkoil level morefrequently.

LONGTERM STORAGE

If you do notplanto usethepowerwasherfor morethan 30 days,

you must preparetheengineand pumpfor long term storage.

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. Tokeepfuelfresh, usea fuel 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 canthen bestored up to 24 months.

If gasolinein theenginehas notbeentreatedwith a fuel stabilizer,

it must bedrainedintoan approvedcontainer.Runtheengineuntil

it stopsfrom lack offuel. Theuseof a fuelstabilizerin thestorage

CHANGEOIL

While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill

with recommendedgrade. See Changing Engine Oil in Engine

Maintenance.

To protect the pump from damagecaused by mineral deposits

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