Winter Storage
You must protect your unit from freezing
temperatures.
• Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and render
your unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1. Use Pump Saver to treat pump. This minimizes freeze damage
and lubricates pistons and seals. Contact your local dealer for
Pump Saver Solution.
2. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3 ft. section of garden
hose to water inlet adapter. Pour RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without
alcohol) into hose. Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3 ft. hose.
3. Store unit in a clean, dry area (heated area preferred).
Long Term Storage
If you do not plan to use the pressure blaster for more than 30 days,
you must prepare the engine and pump for long term storage.
Protect Fuel System
Fuel Additive: 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 has not been
treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained from the engine into an
approved container. Then run engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
When fuel stabilizers are used according to their instructions, there
is no need to drain the gasoline from the engine prior to storage. Run
the engine for a short time to circulate stabilizer throughout the fuel
system. Engine and fuel can then be stored up to 24 months.
If gasoline is drained, the use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage
container is still recommended to maintain freshness.
