LOHGTERM STORAGE
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver, Model 6039, to treat
pump. This prevents freeze damageand lubricates pistons
and seals.
If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than
30 days, you must prepare the engine and pump for long
term storage.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter,
fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates
that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damagethe fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To use PumpSaver, make sure the pressure washer is turned
off and disconnected from supply water. Readand follow all
instructions and warnings given on the PumpSavercontainer.

Other Storage Tips
NOTE:PumpSaver is available as an optional accessory. It is
not included with the pressure washer. Contact your local
Searsservice center to purchase PumpSaver.
Fuel Additive:
Fuelcan become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel
causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or
on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs
& Stratton FRESHSTART® fuel stabilizer, available as a liquid
additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel
stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine
for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel
system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to
24 months.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Run
the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel
stabilizer in the storage container is recommendedto
maintain freshness.
1.
Clip the blue cap of the PerfectMixTM siphon to the
wireform bracket when siphon is not in a concentrate
bottle.
2.
Store clear siphon tube by winding it into a 6 inch loop
and restrain with wire ties with paper sleeve. Do not
store clear siphon for long periods with kinks in tube.
3.
DO NOTstore fuel from one season to another unless it
has been treated as described in Protect Fuel System.
4.
Replacefuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt
in fuel can cause problems if it's used with this unit.
5.
