WINTERIZING AND LONG-TERM STORAGE
Optimum Winterizing Procedure
Winterizing your pressure washer will help protect and prolong its life. We strongly recom-
mend you follow the below steps using antifreeze. Prepare the pressure washer for stor-
age by running a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze into the unit. This will keep the internal
parts lubricated, protected from rust, and prevents the pump from freezing.
1. Connect the antifreeze hose onto the adaptor and quick-connect coupling.
2. Depress button on top of antifreeze container.
3. Continue until fluid exits the pump outlet.
4. Remove the hose from pump inlet.
Use Simoniz® Pressure Washer Antifreeze (39-8602-0).
Quick Winterizing Procedure
If you cannot do the Optimum Winterizing
procedure, you can still protect your pres-
sure washer from winter-damage by doing
below:
1. Disconnect all water connections.
2. Turn on the machine for a few seconds,
until the remaining water in the pump
exits. Turn off immediately.
3. Do not allow high-pressure hose to
become kinked.
4. Store the machine and accessories in
a room that does not reach freezing
temperatures. Do not store near furnace
or other sources of heat as it may dry out
the pump seals.
