pressure washer. Disconnect pressure hose from the pump and
the spray gun.

pump. Then drain water from pump by tipping unit on its front
side or back side (water inlet facing down).
NOTICE Water left in the pump could freeze and damage the pump
in cold climates.
Protecting the Pump
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral deposits or
freezing, use a PumpSaver product to treat the pump. This prevents
freezing or seizure damage and lubricates plunger and seals.
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.
