temperatures unless you use Pump Saver. It is recommended that
you use Pump Saver for storing in freezing temperatures. Freezing will
damage the pump unless Pump Saver is added to the power washer.
If not using or if storing your power washer for more than one month,
run Pump Saver through it. See the section on Pump Saver for more
information.
