Protecting the Pump
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use Pump Saver™, Model 6039, to
treat pump. This prevents freeze damage and lubricates
plunger and seals.
NOTICE Pump Saver is available as an optional
accessory. It is not included with the electric pressure
washer. 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 Pump Saver, make sure 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.
