Winter Storage

You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.
1. Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and render your unit inoper-
able.
2. Freezing damage is not covered under warranty.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1. Use a commercially available pump protector to treat the pump. This minimizes
freezing damage and lubricates pistons and seals. Contact your authorized dealer
for pump protector solution.
2. If pump protector solution is not available, connect a 3 ft. (30.5cm) section of garden
hose to the water inlet adapter. Pour RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into
hose. Pull the recoil handle twice. Disconnect the 3 ft. (30.5cm) hose.
3. Store the unit in a clean, dry area (heated area preferred).

Long Term Storage

If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than 30 days, you must prepare
the engine and pump for long term storage. See the engine user manual for specific
instructions regarding this.

Protect Fuel System

Fuel Stabilizer:
Fuel will become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acids and gum
deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. Prior to storage, if
gasoline will not be treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained from the engine into
an approved container. After draining, run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
