WINTERIZING AND LONG-TERM STORAGE
CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1 Disconnect all water connections.
2 Turn the machine on for a few seconds, until
the water which had remained in the pump
exits, then turn off immediately.
3 Do not allow high pressure hose to become
kinked.
4 Store the accessories on the machine as
shown in the picture below, in the following
order:
a. Vario Power Spray Wand and Dirtblaster®.
b. Power cord
c. High Pressure Hose
d. Gun
5 Store the machine and accessories in a room
which does not reach freezing temperatures.
DO NOT store near furnace or other sources

in damage to the pump assembly and acces-
