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. Storing the pump less than 30 days does not require
the RV antifreeze.
*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.
