Power washer


Tom7227

Question

In another thread someone mentioned that their power washer went out after 2 years. I think many folks don't realize that you have to do some prep on the rig at the end of the season. It is fairly obvious that you have to get the water out of the pump and hose if you're going to leave it in an unheated space. But you also have to take care of the water that sits in the pump or it will rust out the bypass valve that is crucial to making the thing work. My unit recommends putting antifreeze in the system and that may help with the freezing but I don' think it will stop the rust. I think you have to take the hose off and shoot some foam oil type product into the intake. Take the spark plug out and then crank the unit a couple of times to get the oil spread through the pump.

Of course this advice is about 4 months too late.
