Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Prepare Fuel System for Storage
Fuel stored over 30 days can go bad and
damage fuel system components. Keep fuel
fresh, use fuel stabilizer.
If fuel stabilizer is added to fuel system,
prepare and run engine according to
Washer Start-Up
Run engine for 2 minutes to
circulate stabilizer throughout fuel system.
Adequately prepared fuel can be stored up to
24 months.
NOTE: If fuel has not been treated with fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved
container. Run engine until it stops from lack
of fuel. Use of fuel stabilizer in fuel storage
container is recommended to keep fuel fresh.
Prepare Engine for Storage
1. Change engine oil.
2. Remove spark plug.
3. Pour a tablespoon (5-10cc) of clean
engine oil or spray a suitable fogging
agent into cylinder.
4. Pull
starter
recoil
distribute oil in cylinder.
5. Install spark plug.
6. Pull recoil slowly until resistance is felt.
This will close valves so moisture cannot
enter engine cylinder. Gently release
recoil.
Change Oil
Change engine oil before storage. See
Change Engine
Oil.
Prepare Pump for Storage
NOTE: If not using power washer for more
than 30 days, prepare engine and pump for
storage.
Protect unit from freezing temperatures.
Failure to do so will permanently damage
pump and render unit inoperable. Freeze
damage is not covered under warranty.
Protect unit from freezing temperatures as
follows:
1. Turn engine OFF.
2. Turn fuel valve to OFF.
3. Turn water supply OFF.
4. Point spray gun in a safe direction, and
squeeze
trigger
pressure.
5. Let engine cool.
6. Disconnect hoses from spray gun and
high-pressure outlet on pump. Drain water
from hoses, spray gun, and lance. Use a
rag to wipe off components.
7. Empty pump of all remaining liquids.
8. Pull recoil handle approximately six times
to remove remaining liquid from pump.
9. Winterize pump with Generac Pump
Shield™ (P/N 0L2414). This minimizes
freeze damage and lubricates pistons and
seals.

NOTE: If Generac Pump Shield™ is not
available, connect a 3 ft (1 m) section of
garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour RV-
antifreeze (alcohol free antifreeze) into hose.
Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect hose.
Store unit in a clean and dry area.
Prepare Battery and Charger for
Storage
When not in use, disconnect battery charger
and store in a cool, dry area. Wet, damp areas
cause corrosion of terminals and electrical
contacts. If stored for long periods in high
temperatures (110°F), permanent damage to
the battery can result. Check electrical
terminals and contacts on the battery and
charger. Wipe with clean, dry cloth or blow
clean with compressed air.
After storage, check the charge of the battery
by pressing the Battery Powerbar™ button. A
minimum of 2 illuminated LED lights are
required to start the engine. See
the
Battery.
