ENGINE
Consult the Engine Owners Manual for manufacturer's recommendations for storage.
PUMP
The manufacturer recommends using a pump protector/winterizer when storing the unit for more than
30 days and/or when freezing temperatures are expected. Pump protector/winterizer is usually avail-
able at the store where the pressure washer was purchased. If a pump protector/winterizer is not
available, RV antifreeze needs to be run through the pump as outlined in the steps below.
NOTE: Using a pump protector/winterizer or RV antifreeze is to provide proper lubrication to the inter-
nal seals of the pump regardless of temperature or environment.
1) Obtain a funnel, 6 ounces (170 mL) of RV Antifreeze, and
a 16" to 36" (40-91cm) section of garden hose with a male
hose connector attached to one end.
Risk of Property Damage. Use only RV
Antifreeze. Any other antifreeze is corrosive
and can damage the pump.
2) Disconnect the spark plug wire.
3) Connect the length of garden hose to the water inlet of the
pump.
4) Add RV Antifreeze to hose as shown.
5) Pull starter rope slowly several times until antifreeze comes
out of the high pressure hose connection of the pump.
6) Remove garden hose from water inlet of pump.
7) Reconnect spark plug wire.

PRESSURE WASHER

1) Drain all water from high pressure hose, coil it, and store it in cradle of the pressure washer handle.
2) Drain all water from the spray gun and wand by holding spray gun in a vertical position with nozzle
end pointing down and squeezing trigger. Store in gun holder.
3) Store chemical hose, if so equipped, so it is protected from damage.
