STORAGE

It is recommended that you follow these steps to protect the internal seals of the pressure washer when

STORING THE UNIT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD and/or WHEN FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED. Allowing pump to freeze will void pressure washer warranty.

PUMP

RV antifreeze is not only added for winterizing, but for proper lubrication regardless of temperature or environment. Storing the pump less than 30 days in warm weather does not require the RV antifreeze.

*Windshield washer fluid may also be used.
