STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 20.
NOTE: Regular use of pump protector will give you better
performance of the unit and increase the life of the pump.
Store in a dry, covered area where the weather can’t dam-
age it.
It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. Always
empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the soap tank
before storing.
 Make sure the on/off switch is in the OFF position.
 Disconnect both the high pressure hose and the garden
hose from the pump.
 Tilt the unit as shown to allow any remaining water in the
pump to drain from the water inlet.
NOTICE:
The use of a pump protector is required after each use
and before storing to prevent cold weather and seal
damage during storage. Failure to use pump protector
will void your warranty.
 Coil the hose and place in the hook-and-loop strap on the
unit’s handle. Do not allow the hose to become kinked.
 Store the unit and accessories in an area that does not
reach freezing temperatures. Do not store near furnace or
other sources of heat that could dry out the pump seals.
