Winterizing
WARNING
Flush the pressure washer unit out with clear water
before reusing. Antifreeze can damage the paintwork and
product, so you must ensure there is no antifreezee left
in product system before using it again.
CAUTION
Drain any remaining water from the gun assembly. Aim
the gun downwards and pull the trigger.
WARNING
Store the pressure washer unit in a location where
temperature does not fall below 32°F (0°C) at all times.
The pump in the machine is susceptible to damage if
exposed to cold temperatures. FREEZE DAMAGE IS NOT
COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
7.2 Quick Winterizing Procedure
If you are unable to perform the optimum winterizing
procedure, you can still protect your pressure washer from
winter damage by doing the following:
•
Disconnect all water connections.
•
Turn on the device for a few seconds, until the remaining
water flows out of the pump. Turn the device off
immediately after that.
•
Do not allow the high-pressure hose to become kinked.
•
Store the device and its accessories in a room that does
not reach freezing temperatures. Do not store them near
furnaces or other sources of heat, as that might dry out the
pump seals.
7. Winterizing and Long-Term Storage
7.1 Optimum Winterizing Procedure
Winterizing your pressure washer will help protect and
prolong its life. We strongly recommend you follow the below
steps using a pressure washer antifreeze before storing
for the winter. This will keep the internal parts lubricated,
protected from rust, and prevents the pump from freezing.
1. Connect the pressure washer antifreeze to the
inlet adaptor.
2. Depress button on top of the antifreeze container.
3. Continue until fluid exits the pressure hose.
4. Remove the hose from pump inlet.
