PREPARING THE UNIT
FOR STORAGE
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of
time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and
“freeze” pump action. If you do not plan to use the pressure
washer for more than 30 days, follow this procedure:
1. Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter into
a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in
low pressure mode. Flush for one to two minutes.
2. Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove all
hoses.
3. Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling the
recoil handle about 6 times.This should remove most
of the liquid in the pump.
4. Draw RV antifreeze (non-alcohol) into the pump by
pouring the solution into a 3-foot section of garden
hose connected to inlet adapter and pulling recoil
handle twice.
If available, use PumpSaver in place of RV antifreeze
and follow package instructions.
5. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
