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 machine 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.
•  Store the machine and accessories in a room that does 

not reach freezing temperatures.

•  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.

m

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.

Maintenance

m

CAUTION!

 

Before working on the pressure washer, 

disconnect the plug from the power supply socket.

1. 

To ensure good performance, check and clean the water 

inlet filter (Fig. 20). Remove the pre-filter and water inlet 

filter and rinse with warm water to prevent any foreign 

matter from clogging the pump (Figs. 21 – 22).

2. 

Clean the nozzle with the needle clean-out tool provided 

(Fig. 23). Remove the spray wand from the gun; remove 

any dirt from the nozzle hole and rinse.

3. 

Remove additional debris by back flushing water through 

the nozzle and spray wand. To do this, place the end of 

your garden hose (with water running) to the tip of the 

nozzle, pushing water and debris out of the back opening 

of the nozzle and spray wand.

Disposal

Recycling the Washer

•  Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted 

municipal waste. Use separate collection facilities.

•  Contact your local government agency for information 

regarding the collection systems available.

•  If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills 

or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the 

groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your 

health and well-being.

•  When replacing old appliances with new ones, the retailer 

is legally obligated to take back your old appliance for 

disposal at least free of charge.
