SPARK ARRESTOR SERVICE

2. Carefully remove the carbon deposits from the spark
arrestor screen with a wire brush. The spark arrestor
must be free of breaks and tears. Replace the spark
arrestor if damaged.
STORAGE
Proper storage preparation is required for trouble-free
operation and pressure washer longevity.
Gasoline stored for as little as 30 days can deteriorate,
causing gum, varnish, and corrosive buildup in fuel lines,
fuel passages, and the engine. This corrosive buildup
restricts the flow of fuel, which can prevent the engine
from starting after a prolonged storage period. The use

of fuel stabilizer significantly increases the storage life of
gasoline. Full-time use of fuel stabilizer is recommended.

a pilot light of a stove, water heater, clothes dryer, or
any other gas appliance, or a spark from an electric
appliance.
