Maintenance and Troubleshooting
6. Disconnect hoses from spray gun and
high-pressure outlet on pump. Drain water
from hoses, spray gun, and lance. Use a
rag to wipe off components.
7. Empty pump of all remaining liquids.
8. Pull recoil handle approximately six times
to remove remaining liquid from pump.
9. Winterize pump with Generac Pump
Shield™ (P/N 0L2414). This minimizes
freeze damage and lubricates pistons and
seals.
NOTE: If Generac Pump Shield™ is not
available, connect a 3 ft (1 m) section of
garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour RV-
antifreeze (alcohol free antifreeze) into hose.
Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect hose.
Store unit in a clean and dry area.
Prepare Battery and Charger for
Storage
When not in use, disconnect battery charger
and store in a cool, dry area. Wet, damp areas
cause corrosion of terminals and electrical
contacts. If stored for long periods in high
temperatures (110°F), permanent damage to
the battery can result. Check electrical
terminals and contacts on the battery and
charger. Wipe with clean, dry cloth or blow
clean with compressed air.
After storage, check the charge of the battery
by pressing the Battery Powerbar™ button. A
minimum of 2 illuminated LED lights are
required to start the engine. See
the Battery.
