WINTERIZING AND LONG-TERM STORAGE

Optimum Winterizing Procedure
Winterizing your pressure washer will help protect
and prolong its life. It is strongly recommend you
follow the below steps using pump saver. This will
keep the internal parts lubricated, protected from
rust, and prevents the pump from freezing.
1. Connect the pump saver 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.
Pump saver is available at your local hardware
stores.
Alternative Procedure
If you cannot do the Optimum Winterizing pro-
cedure, you can still protect your pressure washer
from winter-damage by doing below:
1.
Disconnect all water connections.
2.
Turn on the machine for a few seconds. Press
trigger to bleed any remaining water in the pump.
Turn off immediately.
3.
Remove the gun and hose from the pressure
washer. Drain any excess water. Roll hose
carefully and do not allow hose to be kinked.
4.
Store the machine and accessories in a room that
does not reach freezing temperatures. Do not store
near furnace or other heat source as it may dry out
the pump seals.
