Winter Storage
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
.
1. Use Pump Saver to treat pump. This minimizes freeze damage and
lubricates pistons and seals. Contact your local dealer for Pump Saver
Solution.
2. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3 ft. section of garden hose to
water inlet adapter. Pour RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into
hose. Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3 ft. hose.
3. Store unit in a clean, dry area (heated area preferred).
Long Term Storage
If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than 30 days, you
must prepare the engine and pump for long term storage.
Protect Fuel System
Fuel Additive:
Fuel will become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acids
and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor
parts. Prior to storage, if gasoline has not been treated with a fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained from the engine into an approved container.
Then run engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
NOTICE
You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.
• Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and render your
unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
