Winter or Long Term Storage

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and "freeze"
pump action.

Initial Storage Procedures

1. Flush detergent bottle (if used) by removing it from the foam
lance and pouring out all remaining solution.
2. Rinse detergent bottle out with fresh clean water and reinstall
onto foam lance.
3. Run the electric pressure washer with wand set to high
pressure spray. Flush for one or two minutes.
4. Press the master ON/OFF switch to the OFF (O) position.
Remove power cord plug from electrical outlet.
5. Turn off water supply. Point gun in a safe direction, press
trigger lock button and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped
pressure. After a few moments, release trigger on spray gun.
6. Disconnect garden hose from the water supply and the
electric pressure washer. Disconnect pressure hose from the
pump and the spray gun.
7. Drain water from hoses and spray gun, then use a cloth or
equivalent to wipe off all exterior surfaces.
8. Ensure that inlet and outlet hoses are disconnected from the
pump. Then drain water from pump by tipping unit on its
front side (water inlet facing down).
NOTICE Water left in the pump could freeze and damage the
pump.

Protecting the Pump

To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral deposits
or freezing, use PumpSaver, Model 6039, to treat pump. This
prevents freeze damage and lubricates plunger and seals.
NOTICE PumpSaver is available as an optional accessory. It
is not included with the electric pressure washer. Contact the
nearest authorized service center to purchase Pump Saver.
NOTICE You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.
• Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and
render your unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To use PumpSaver, make sure the electric pressure washer is
turned off and inlet and outlet hoses are disconnected. Read and
follow all instructions and warnings given on the PumpSaver
container.

Final Storage Procedures

1. Coil power cord and store on accessory tray.
2. Coil high pressure hose and store on accessory tray.
3. Store spray gun and accessories on accessory tray.
4. Store unit in a clean, dry area that is protected from freezing
temperatures.
5. Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain
moisture.
