FROST PROTECTION
It is essential to protect the unit from damage by frost.
The following instructions will be
adequate to protect the unit to temperatures down to - 5
°
C. During winter months it is
strongly recommended to store the unit inside whenever possible.
1) Run engine for
one minute
with open ended hoses or gun open to expel all water and
stop the engine.
2) Remove bowl from inlet strainer and store safely together with its filter screen.
3) During severe weather, the unit should be stored inside, if possible. Where this is not
possible a 25% anti-freeze/water mixture should be introduced into the pump, hose and
gun. The antifreeze mixture can be reclaimed after use for recycling when next
required.
4) Before starting work again the antifreeze must be emptied out of the system by running
the pump and directing the using the solution back into the container. Always ensure
that all anti-freeze solutions are flushed out of the system before using the unit for
cleaning tasks, as anti-freeze solution can be highly detrimental to certain surfaces and
materials.
