Winter or Long Term Storage

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and "freeze"
pump action.

Initial Storage Procedures

1. Flush detergent bottle by removing it from spray gun and
pouring out all remaining solution.
2. Rinse detergent bottle out with fresh clean water.
3. Run the Hose Powering System with the "Power Jet" high
pressure nozzle selected. Flush for one or two minutes.
4. Press the master ON/OFF switch to the OFF (O) position.
Remove power cord plug from electrical outlet.
5. Turn off water supply. Point gun in a safe direction, disengage
trigger lock and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped pressure.
After a few moments, release trigger on spray gun.
6. Disconnect garden hose from the water supply and the Hose
Powering System. Disconnect pressure hose from the pump
and the spray gun.
7. Drain water from hoses and spray gun, then use a cloth or
equivalent to wipe off all exterior surfaces.
8. Ensure that inlet and outlet hoses are disconnected from the
pump. Then drain water from pump by tipping unit upside
down.
NOTICE Water left in the pump could freeze and damage the
pump.

Protecting the Pump

To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral deposits
or freezing, use PumpSaver, Model 6039, to treat pump. This
prevents freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
NOTICE PumpSaver is available as an optional accessory. It is
not included with the Hose Powering System. Contact the nearest
authorized service center to purchase Pump Saver.
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.
To use PumpSaver, make sure the Hose Powering System is
turned off and inlet and outlet hoses are disconnected. Read and
follow all instructions and warnings given on the PumpSaver
container.

Final Storage Procedures

1. Coil hoses and power cord(s) into hose pot.
2. Remove batteries from spray gun.
3. Reinstall detergent bottle onto spray gun. Store spray gun
and transport handle in hose pot.
4. Install cover and store unit in a clean, dry area that is
protected from freezing temperatures.
5. Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain
moisture.
