1. How do I winterize my pressure washer?
Winterizing your pressure washer will help protect and prolong its life. We strongly recommend you follow the below
steps using Pressure Washer Antifreeze (039-8602-0). This will keep the internal parts lubricated, protected from rust,
and prevents the pump from freezing.
1. Connect the pump saver hose onto the adaptor and quick-connect coupling.
2. Depress button on top of pump saver container.
3. Continue until fluid exits the pressure hose.
4. Remove the hose from pump inlet.
If you cannot do the Optimum Winterizing procedure, you can still protect your pressure washer from winter damage by
doing the below:
1. Disconnect all water connections.
2. Turn on the machine for a few seconds, until the remaining water in the pump exits. Turn off immediately.
3. Do not allow high-pressure hose to become kinked.
4. Store the machine and accessories in a room that does not reach freezing temperatures. Do not store near furnace
or other sources of heat as it may dry out the pump seals.
