• To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral depos-
its or freezing, purchase a pump saver solution, available at
hardware stores or on the internet.

pressure washer is turned off and that the inlet and outlet
hoses are disconnected.
• Read and follow all instructions and warnings supplied with
the pump saver solution that you use.
NOTICE You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.
Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and render
the unit inoperable. Freeze damage is not covered by the war-
ranty.
To use PumpSaver, make sure the electric pressure washer is
turned off and inlet and outlet hoses are disconnected.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings given on the Pump-
Saver container.
