The use of a pump protector is
recommended to prevent cold weather damage during storage
over the winter months.
Winte Long-term Storage
If you must store your pressure washer in a location where
the temperature falls below 32ºF (0ºC), you can minimize the
chance of damage to your machine by utilizing the following
procedure:
•
Disconnect all water connections.
•
Turn on the pressure washer for a few seconds until the
remaining water in the pump exits. Turn off immediately.
•
Do not allow the high-pressure hose to become kinked.
•
Do not store near a furnace or other sources of heat that
may dry out the pump seals.
•
Operate the pressure washer with non-corrosive/non-toxic
anti-freeze, a pump saver, or a pump protector before
storing for the winter.

WARNING!
Before reusing, completely flush the
unit out with clear water. Anti-freeze products can damage
paintwork, so you must ensure there is no anti-freeze left in the
system before using it again.
