Consult the Engine Owners Manual for the manufacturer's recommendations for
storage.
PUMP
It is recommended that you follow these steps to protect the internal seals of the
pressure washer when STORING THE UNIT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD
and/or WHEN FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED.
NOTE: If storing the unit for more than 30 days *RV antifreeze needs to be run
through the pump. This helps prevent damage within the pump head. *RV anti-
freeze is not only added for winterizing, but for proper lubrication regardless of
temperature or environment.
*Windshield washer fluid may also be used.
1. Obtain a funnel, six ounces of *RV antifreeze, and approximately 12 inches
of garden hose with a male hose connector attached to one end.
Use only *RV antifreeze. Any other antifreeze is corrosive
and can damage pump.
2. Disconnect spark plug wire.
3. Disconnect high pressure hose from
pump and from spray gun.
4. Connect 12 inch length of hose to
water inlet of pump.
5. Add *RV antifreeze to hose as shown.
6. Pull engine starter rope slowly several
times until antifreeze comes out of high
pressure hose connection of pump.
7. Remove short hose from water inlet of
pump.
8. Reconnect spark plug wire.
9. Drain all water from high pressure hose, coil it, and store it in cradle of the
pressure washer handle.
10. Drain all water from spray gun and wand by holding spray gun in a vertical
position with nozzle end pointing down and squeezing trigger. Store in
gun/hose holder.
11. Store chemical hose, high pressure hose, spray gun, and wand so they are
protected from damage, such as being run over.
