Protecting the Pump
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver to treat pump.This prevents freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with used motor oil.
