are pre-lubricated and sealed, requiring no additional
lubrication ever.
After Each Use
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and “freeze”
pump action. Follow these procedures after every use:
1. Press the master ON/OFF switch to the OFF (0) position.
2. Turn off water supply, point gun in a safe direction,
press red button and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped
pressure, and let engine cool.
3. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure
outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, spray gun,
and spray wand. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.
4. Drain water from pump by tipping unit forward (water
inlet facing down) for two minutes. Tip backward (high
pressure outlet facing down) for an additional two minutes.
5. Store high pressure hose by wrapping the velcro hook-
and-loop strap around hose and handle.
6. Coil power cord on brackets.
7. Store spray gun and spray wand in the spray gun holder.
Store spray tips in holes on top of detergent tank.
8. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
9. If storing for more than 30 days see Winter or Long
Term Storage.
Winter or Long Term Storage
Follow steps 1-7 in After Each Use.
NOTICE Water left in pump could freeze and permanently
damage pump. Freeze damage is not covered under
warranty.
Protecting the Pump
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver, Model 6039, to treat
pump. This prevents freeze damage and lubricates plunger
and seals.
NOTICE PumpSaver is available as an optional
accessory. It is not included with the electric pressure
washer. Contact the nearest authorized service center to
purchase Pump Saver.
NOTICE You must protect your unit from freezing
temperatures.
• Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump
and render your unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To use PumpSaver, make sure the electric pressure
washer is turned off and inlet and outlet hoses are
disconnected. Read and follow all instructions and
warnings given on the PumpSaver container.
Final Storage Procedures
1. Store high pressure by wrapping the velcro hook-and-
loop strap around hose and handle
2. Coil power cord on brackets.
3. Store spray gun and spray wand in the spray gun
holder. Store spray tips in holes on top of detergent
tank.
4. Store unit in a clean, dry area that is protected from
freezing temperatures.
5. Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does

is permitted by law. Some states or countries do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some states or countries do not allow the exclusion

The warranty period begins on the date of purchase by the first retail or commercial consumer. “Consumer use” means personal residential household use by a retail
consumer. “Commercial use” means all other uses, including use for commercial, income producing or rental purposes. Once a product has experienced commercial
use, it shall thereafter be considered as a commercial use product for purposes of this warranty.

ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. This warranty covers only defects in materials or
workmanship. It does not cover damage caused by improper use or abuse, improper maintenance or repair, normal wear and tear, or stale or unapproved fuel.
Improper Use and Abuse - The proper, intended use of this product is described in the Operator’s Manual. Using the product in a way not described in the Operator’s
Manual or using the product after it has been damaged will not be covered under this warranty. Warranty coverage will also not be provided if the serial number on the
product has been removed or the product has been altered or modified in any way, or if the product has evidence of abuse such as impact damage or water/chemical
corrosion damage.
Improper Maintenance or Repair - This product must be maintained according to the procedures and schedules provided in the Operator’s Manual, and serviced or
repaired using genuine Briggs & Stratton parts or equivalent. Damage caused by lack of maintenance or use of non-original parts is not covered by warranty.
Normal Wear and Tear - Like most mechanical devices, your unit is subject to wear even when properly maintained. This warranty does not cover repairs when normal
use has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment. Maintenance and wear items such as filters, belts, cutting blades, and brake pads (except engine brake pads) are
not covered by warranty due to wear characteristics alone, unless the cause is due to defects in material or workmanship.
Stale or Unapproved Fuel - In order to function correctly, this product requires fresh fuel that conforms to the criteria specified in the Operator’s Manual. Engine or
equipment damage caused by stale fuel or the use of unapproved fuels (such as E15 or E85 ethanol blends) is not covered by warranty.

Attachments or accessories that were not originally packaged with the product are also excluded. There is no warranty coverage on equipment used for primary power in
place of utility power or on equipment used in life support applications. This warranty does not include used, reconditioned, second-hand, or demonstration equipment or
engines. This warranty also excludes failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturer’s control.
