will void pressure washer warranty.

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. Storing the pump less than 30 days in warm
weather does not require the RV antifreeze.
*Windshield washer fluid may also be used.
