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
Briggs & Stratton Pump Saver™ (039-8602-0). This will keep the
internal parts lubricated, protected from rust, and prevents the
pump from freezing.
1. Connect the pump saver to the inlet adaptor.
2. Depress button on top of pump saver container.
3. Continue until uid exits the pressure hose.
4. Remove the hose from pump inlet.
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 ows out of the pump. Turn the device o 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.
• Recommended: Briggs & Stratton Pump Saver™ (039-8602-0).
CAUTION
Drain any remaining water from the gun assembly. Aim the
gun downwards and pull the trigger.
