STORAGE
ENGINE
Consult the Engine Owners Manual for the manufacturer's recommendations for storage.
PUMP
The manufacturer recommends using a pump protector/winterizer when storing the unit for more than 30 days and/or when freezing temperatures are expected. If a pump protector/ winterizer is not available, *RV antifreeze needs to be run through the pump as outlined in the steps below.
NOTE: Using a pump protector/ winterizer or *RV antifreeze is to provide proper lubrication to the internal seals of the pump regardless of temperature or environment.
1.Obtain a funnel, six ounces of *RV antifreeze, and 16 - 36 inches of garden hose with a male hose connector attached to one end.
Use only RV antifreeze. Any
other antifreeze is corrosive and can damage pump.
2.Disconnect spark plug wire.
3.Connect length of garden hose to water inlet of pump.
4.Add *RV antifreeze to hose as shown.
5.Pull engine starter rope slowly several times until antifreeze comes out of high pressure hose connection of pump.
6.Remove garden hose from water inlet of pump.
7.Reconnect spark plug wire. *Windshield washer fluid may also be used
PRESSURE WASHER
