Winter Storage

You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.
1. Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and render your unit
inoperable.
2. Freezing damage is not covered under warranty.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1. Use Pump Saver to treat the pump. This minimizes freezing damage and lubricates
pistons and seals. Contact your local dealer for Pump Saver Solution.
2. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3 ft. section of garden hose to the water inlet
adapter. Pour RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into hose. Pull the recoil
handle twice. Disconnect the 3 ft. hose.
3. Store the unit in a clean, dry area (heated area preferred).

Long Term Storage

If you do not plan to use the pressure cleaner for more than 30 days, you must prepare the
engined and pump for long term storage. See the engine user manual for specific instruc-
tions regarding this.

Protect Fuel System

Fuel Stabilizer:
Fuel will become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acids and gum
deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. Prior to storage, if
petrol will not be treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained from the engine into an
approved container. After draining, run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
