WINTERIZING AND LONG-TERM STORAGE
"1: Disconnect all water connections.
"2: Turn on the machine for a few seconds, until the water which had remained in the pump exits, turn off immediately.
"3: Do not allow high pressure hose to become kinked.
"4: Store the machine and accesso- ries in a room which does not reach freezing temperatures. DO NOT store near furnace or other sources
of heat as it may dry out the pump seals.

Kärcher also recommends the regular practice of using a pump protector like “Kärcher Pump Guard” to help during storage in the winter months.
