WINTERIZING YOUR UNIT
WINTERIZING YOUR PRESSURE WASHER

Whenever your machine will be subjected to freezing temperatures, severe
damage could occur caused by freezing inside components. To prevent
costly repairs, follow the steps below (Freeze damage is NOT covered by
manufacturers warranty).
Be sure the Machine is OFF, water supply
1
is disconnected and pressure has been
relieved.
Disconnect your high pressure hose, gun, and wand. Attach a 4 ft piece of garden hose to the
3
inlet of the pressure washer. Using a funnel, fill the garden hose with RV antifreeze and hold in
the air above the pressure washer. Turn the engine ON/OFF switch to the "OFF/STOP" position.
Pull the start cord until the antifreeze is coming out the high pressure quick connect coupler (Ap-
proximately 5-20 times). Disconnect the 4 ft piece of hose.
If possible, store the gun, wand, and hose indoors where they won't freeze. Ensure any leftover
4
water has been drained from the gun, wand and hose. Gas in the engine should be drained or use
a fuel stabalizer to prevent the fuel from going bad. When refilling the unit later, make sure to
use fresh gas and not gas that has sat over winter.
To reuse pressure washer, simply reconnect to pressure system water supply, attach high pres-
5
sure hose, turn water on and squeeze trigger allowing water to pass through system (do not start
engine). Once water becomes clear, you are ready to operate your pressure washer.
