Generac Portable Products 2,400 PSI High Pressure Washer

Protecting the Pump

To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use the Generac PumpSaver to treat
pump. This prevents freeze damage and lubricates pistons
and seals.

NOTE: Generac PumpSaver, model number 01559, is
available as an optional accessory. It is not included with the
pressure washer.

CAUTION!

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.

CAUTION!

Read and follow all cautions and

warnings on the PumpSaver can label. Always wear
eye protection when using PumpSaver.

To use PumpSaver, make sure the pressure washer is
turned off and disconnected from supply water. Read and
follow all instructions and warnings given on the PumpSaver
container.

NOTE: PumpSaver will drip from pump after treatment
and will stain wood and concrete.

NOTE: If PumpSaver is not available, draw RV antifreeze
(non-alcohol) into the pump by pouring the solution into a
3-foot section of garden hose connected to inlet adapter
and pulling recoil handle twice.

STORING THE ENGINE

See the engine owner’s manual for instructions on how to
properly prepare the engine for storage.
