7.1 Optimum Winterizing Procedure
Winterizing your pressure washer will help protect and prolong
its life. We strongly recommend you follow the below steps using
Pressure Washer Antifreeze (039-8602-0). This will keep the
internal parts lubricated, protected from rust, and prevents the
pump from freezing.
1. Connect the pump saver to the inlet adaptor.
2. Depress button on top of the pump saver container.
3. Continue until fluid exits the pressure hose.
4. Remove the hose from pump inlet.
7.2 Quick Winterizing Procedure
If you are unable to perform the Optimum Winterizing Procedure,
you can still protect your pressure washer from winter damage by
doing the following:
•
Disconnect all water connections.
•
Turn on the device for a few seconds, until the remaining
water flows out of the pump. Turn the device off immediately
after that.
•
Do not allow the high-pressure hose to become kinked.
•
Store the device and its accessories in a room that does
not reach freezing temperatures. Do not store them near
furnaces or other sources of heat, as that might dry out the
pump seals.
•
Recommended: Pressure Washer Antifreeze (039-8602-0).
CAUTION
Drain any remaining water from the gun assembly. Aim the
gun downwards and pull the trigger.
