Winter Storage

Protect your pressure washer parts from freezing.
1. Apply all storage instructions from previous sections.
2. Make sure pressure washer hose is free of all water before
storing for winter.
3. In order to prevent the pump from freezing you will need to
insert RV antifreeze.
4. You will need approximately 6 oz. (177.4 mL) of RV
antifreeze, a funnel, and approximately 12 in. (30.5 cm) of
garden hose or equivalent. See diagram below.
5. Pour the antifreeze into the funnel, then pull on the engine
recoil starter to create suction in the pump housing. Pull
the recoil several times until antifreeze comes out of the
pump outlet.
Never store the pressure washer inside or next to appliances
where there is a source of heat or open flame, spark or pilot
light because they can ignite gasoline vapors.
DO NOT store a pressure washer near fertilizer or any
corrosive material.
Even with an empty gas tank, gasoline vapors could ignite.
