PUMP
It is recommended that you follow these steps to protect the internal seals of the pressure washer when STORING THE UNIT FOR MORE THAN 30 DAYS AND/OR
WHEN FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED.
The manufacturer recommends using EXA80 Pump Saver/Winterizer. EXA80 Pump Saver/Winterizer may be purchased in stores where Excell pressure washers are sold. If EXA80 is not available, *RV antifreeze needs to be run through the pump as outlined in the steps below.
