WINTERIZING AND LONG-TERM STORAGE
Optimum Winterizing Procedure
Material required: Pump saver
Winterizing your pressure washer will help protect
and prolong its life. It is strongly recommend you
follow the below steps using a pump saver. This will
keep the internal parts lubricated, protected from
rust, and prevent the pump from freezing.
1. Connect the pump saver hose onto the adaptor
and quick-connect coupling.
2. Depress button on top of antifreeze container.
3. Continue until uid exits the pump outlet.
4. Remove the hose from pump inlet.
Pump saver is available at your local hardware stores.
Alternative Procedure
If you cannot perform the Optimum Winterizing proce-
dure, you can still protect your pressure washer from
winter-damage:
1. Disconnect all water connections.
2. Turn on the machine for a few seconds. Press
trigger to bleed any remaining water in the pump.
Turn off immediately.
3. Remove the gun and hose from the pressure
washer. Drain any excess water. Roll hose care-
fully and do not allow hose to be kinked.

Water Filter Screen
The pressure washer is equipped with a water inlet
lter (L) that prevents debris going into the pump.
If the lter is not kept clean, the ow of water to the
pressure washer will be restricted and the pump
may be damaged.
1. To clean the screen, remove quick connector and
remove the lter screen from the pump inlet.
2. Rinse screen until it is free of debris and blockage.
3. Replace screen and quick-connector immediately.
Air Vents
The air vents located on the front and back of the
pressure washer must be kept clean and free of any
obstructions to ensure proper air-cooling of the mo-
tor during operation.
Fig. 14
SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. CHECK WITH YOUR
LOCAL RETAILERS FOR THE WARRANTY POLICY AND SERVICE OPTION.
Adjustable Nozzle
When the nozzle is clogged, it will cause the pump to
build pressure and may cause the unit to surge. You
can clean the nozzle by inserting needle (N) into the
tip to rid it of the deposits.
For the adjustable nozzle, you can also lubricate the
nozzle collar (high-pressure low-pressure) by using
non-water soluble grease regularly.
