Winterizing Your Unit

1. Shut off the water supply. Disconnect the water
inlet hose from the front of your console.
2. Connect all solution pressure hoses and tools that
may have water in them.
3. Start the unit and turn solution pump on. Open the
tool valve until water pressure drops.
4. Turn solution pump off.
5. Fill the water box with approximately two gallons of
100% glycol base anti-freeze.
6. Turn the solution pump on.
7. Open the tool valve until anti-freeze begins to
come out of the tool. Recover all anti-freeze that
comes out of the tools into an approved container.
We strongly recommend that you re-cycle and re-
use the anti-freeze.
Repeat this procedure with all the remaining tools.
After all tools and pressure hoses have been filled
with anti-freeze, disconnect and store them.

winterizing loop hose with attachment (P/N

Allow the unit to run for approximately 3 minutes with
the winterizing loop hose attached.
9. Prime the chemical system with 50/50 anti-freeze/
water mix. Insert the chemical inlet tube into the
anti-freeze container. Turn the chemical valve to
PRIME until anti-freeze is visible in flow meter.
10. Turn the chemical valve and Flow Setup Valve to
the "CHEM" position. Make certain that the flow
meter indicates flow and that all anti-freeze drains
out of the chemical tube into an approved
container. After 30 seconds, turn off both valves.
High Pressure (Optional)
Close ball valve between chemical pump and solution
pump. Move pressure system valve to high-pressure
position and key tool until antifreeze is visible. Recover
all anti-freeze into an approved container. We strongly
recommend that you recycle and re-use the anti-freeze.
After completing these procedures, shut the unit down.
The unit is now winterized.
