pressure washer when STORING THE UNIT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD and/or
WHEN FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED.
NOTE:
If storing the unit for more than 30 days
*RV antifreeze
needs to be run
through the pump. This helps prevent damage within the pump head.
RV anti-
freeze

temperature or environment. Storing the pump less than 30 days does not require
the
RV antifreeze.
