ENGINE
1. Consult the Engine Owners Manual for the manu-
facturer's recommendations for storage.
PUMP
NOTE: If storing the unit for more than 30 days RV
antifreeze needs to be run through the pump. This
helps prevent damage within the pump head. RV
antifreeze is not only added for winterizing, but for
proper lubrication regardless of temperature or en-
vironment. Storing the pump less than 30 days does
not require the RV antifreeze.
1. Obtain a funnel, six ounces of RV antifreeze, and
approximately 12 inches of garden hose with a
male hose connector attached to one end.
Use only RV antifreeze.
Any other antifreeze is
corrosive and can damage pump.
2. Disconnect spark plug wire.
3. Disconnect high pressure hose from pump and
from spray gun.
4. Connect 12 inch length of hose to water inlet of
pump.
