STORAGE
Engine
Consult the engine instruction manual for the
manufacturer's recommendations forstorage.
To Prevent Fuel‑Related Problems
1. Add Ethanol Shield™ fuel stabilizer following the
manufacturer’s instructions. When adding a gasoline
stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If
only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. If you keep a container
of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only
freshgasoline.
2. After adding a gasoline stabilizer, run the engine
outdoors for 10minutes to be sure that treated gasoline
has replaced the untreated gasoline in thecarburetor.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the OFFposition.
4. Continue to run the engine until it stops from the lack of
fuel in the carburetor fuel bowl. Running time should be
less than 3minutes.
Pump
The manufacturer recommends using DeWALT Pump Guard
or equivalent when storing the unit for more than 30 days
and/or when freezing temperatures are expected.
DeWALT
Pump Guard is environmentallyfriendly.
NOTE: Using pump guard helps provide proper lubrication
to the internal seals of the pump regardless of temperature
or environment.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Use only
DeWALT
Pump Guard or equivalent. Other products could be
corrosive and/or contain alcohol which may cause
pumpdamage.
1. Turn off pressure washer and disconnect hoses
frompump.
2. Unscrew bottle valve from Pump Guard bottle and
remove seal.
3. Screw bottle valve back ontobottle.
4. Attach bottle to water inlet ofpump.
5. Squeeze bottle to inject contents intopump.
6. With ignition switch off, simultaneously pull starter rope
and squeeze bottle. Repeat until protector fluid exits
pump outlet. NOTE: This step may require twopeople.
Pressure Washer
1. Drain all water from high pressure hose, coil it and store
it in cradle of the pressure washerhandle.
2. With nozzle pointed down and the spray gun and wand
in a vertical position, squeeze trigger to drain all water
from spray gun and wand. Store in gunholder.
3. Store chemical hose so it is protected fromdamage.

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Avoid placing
hands between handle and frame when assembling
to preventpinching.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Always store and
transport unit in an uprightposition.
Battery Removal and Preparation
forRecycling

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or
explosion, do not short circuit the battery terminals.
Keep sparks and flame away. Do not use metal tools
for connections and keep metal objects away from
the battery terminals. Metal objects can make a
connection from one terminal to an‑ other. Shorting
the battery terminals together can cause sparks,
burns, or afire.

WARNING: Upon removal, cover the battery’s
terminals with heavy‑ duty adhesive tape. Do not
attempt to destroy or disas‑ semble battery or remove
any of its components. Lead acid batteries must be
recycled or disposed of properly. Also, never touch
both terminals with metal objects and/ or body parts
