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 regardless
of temperature or environment.

91cm) of garden hose with a male
hose connector attached to one
