Prepare Pump for Storage
NOTE: If not using power washer for more
than 30 days, prepare engine and pump for
storage.
Protect unit from freezing temperatures.
Failure to do so will permanently damage
pump and render unit inoperable. Freeze
damage is not covered under warranty.
Protect unit from freezing temperatures as
follows:
1. Shut engine OFF.
2. Turn fuel valve to OFF.
3. Turn water supply OFF.
4. Point spray gun in a safe direction, and
squeeze trigger to relieve trapped
pressure.
5. Let engine cool.
6. Disconnect hoses from spray gun and
high-pressure outlet on pump. Drain water
from hoses, spray gun, and lance. Use a
rag to wipe off components.
7. Empty pump of all remaining liquids.
8. Pull recoil handle approximately six times
to remove remaining liquid from pump.
9. Winterize pump with Generac Pump
Shield™ (P/N 0L2414). This minimizes
freeze damage and lubricates pistons and
seals.
NOTE: If Generac Pump Shield™ is not
available, connect a 3 ft (1 m) section of
garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour RV-
antifreeze (alcohol free antifreeze) into hose.
Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect hose.
Store unit in a clean and dry area.
