Pump

The manufacturer recommends using a pump protector/winterizer,
such as DP80 when storing the unit for more than 30 days and/or
when freezing temperatures are expected. DP80 is availabe at the
store where the pressure washer was purchased. If a pump protector/
winterizer is not available, RV antifreeze needs to be run through the
pump as outlined in the steps below.
NOTE: Using a pump protector/ winterizer or RV antifreeze is to
provide proper lubrication to the internal seals of the pump regard-
less of temperature or environment.
1. Obtain a funnel, 6 oz. (170 mL) of RV antifreeze and 16–36"

(40–91cm) of garden hose with a male hose connector attached
to one end.

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Use only RV antifreeze. Any
other an ti freeze is corrosive and can damage pump.
2. Disconnect spark plug wire.
3. Connect length of garden hose to water inlet of pump.
