Operations

Winterizing Your Unit

1. Shut off the water supply. Disconnect the water
inlet hose from the front of your console.
2. Connect all solution pressure hoses and tools that
may have water in them.
3. Start the unit and turn solution pump on. Open the
tool valve until water pressure drops and water
stops flowing.
4. Turn off the solution pump. Fill the water box with
approximately two gallons of 100% glycol base
anti-freeze.
5. Turn the solution pump switch ON.
6. Open the tool valve until anti-freeze begins to
come out of the tool. Recover ALL anti-freeze that
comes out of the tools into an approved container.
We strongly recommend that you re-cycle and re-
use the anti-freeze.
Repeat this procedure with all the remaining tools. After
all tools and pressure hoses have been filled with anti-
freeze, disconnect and store them.

container, after 30 seconds, turn off both valves.

down. The unit is now winterized.
