Winterizing + Long-Term Storage

If you must store your pressure washer in a location where the
temperature falls below 32ºF (0ºC), you can minimize the chance
of damage to your machine by utilizing the following procedure:
• 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 the high-pressure hose to become kinked.
• Store the machine and accessories in a room that does
not reach freezing temperatures.
• Do not store near a furnace or other sources of heat that
may dry out the pump seals.
• Operate the pressure washer with non-corrosive/non-toxic
anti-freeze, a pump saver, or a pump protector before
storing for the winter.

WARNING!
Before reusing, completely flush the unit
out with clear water. Anti-freeze products can damage
paintwork, so you must ensure there is no anti-freeze left in the
system before using it again.
Maintenance

CAUTION!
Before working on the pressure washer,
disconnect the plug from the power supply socket.
1. To ensure good performance, check and clean the water
inlet filter (Fig. 20). Remove the pre-filter and water inlet
filter and rinse with warm water to prevent any foreign
matter from clogging the pump (Figs. 21 – 22).

3. Remove additional debris by back flushing water through
the nozzle and spray wand. To do this, place the end of
your garden hose (with water running) to the tip of the
nozzle, pushing water and debris out of the back opening
of the nozzle and spray wand.
Disposal
Recycling the Washer
• Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted
municipal waste. Use separate collection facilities.
• Contact your local government agency for information
regarding the collection systems available.
• If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills
or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the
groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your
health and well-being.
• When replacing old appliances with new ones, the retailer
is legally obligated to take back your old appliance for
disposal at least free of charge.
