STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER

Store in a dry, covered area where the weather can't damage it. It is important to store this
product in a frost-free area. Always empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the detergent
container before storing.
NOTE: Use of a pump saver will give you better performance and increase the life of the
machine.
QUICK WINTERIZING PROCEDURE
You can protect your pressure washer from winter damage by doing below:
• Disconnect all water connections.
• Turn on the machine for a few seconds until the remaining water in the pump exits. Turn off
immediately.
• Do not allow high-pressure hose to become kinked.
• Store the machine and accessories in a room that does not reach freezing temperatures. Do
not store near furnace or other sources of heat as it may dry out the pump seals.
