c. Lock the trigger gun in an OFF position and remove the nozzle.
d. In one 5 gallon container, mix the antifreeze and water according to manufacturer's recommendations
for the temperature to which you are winterizing.
NOTE: Proper winterizing is based on the recommended manufacturer's instructions listed on the "Protection Chart" shown on
the back label of most antifreeze containers.

Submerge the opposite end into the antifreeze solution.
f. Point the lance into the empty container and start the unit.

trigger the gun for 3 seconds. Continue cycling the gun several times until all the antifreeze mixture is
siphoned from the container.
