Shutting Down and Cleaning Up
Step 1

We recommend storing indoors where unit will not be exposed
to freezing temperatures.

 Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and render
your unit inoperable.
 Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.

Alternative Procedure
If you cannot perform the Optimum Winterizing procedure,
you can still protect your pressure washer from winter-damage:
1. Disconnect all water connections.
2. Turn on the machine for a few seconds. Press trigger to bleed any
remaining water in the pump. Turn off immediately.
3. Remove the gun and hose from the pressure washer. Drain any
excess water. Roll hose carefully and do not allow hose to be kinked.
4. Store the machine and accessories in a room that does not reach
freezing temperatures. Do not store near furnace or other hot areas as
it may dry out o-rings and pump seals.
STORING
Before storing the unit for an extended period. be sure the storage area
is free of excessive humidity and dust.
Storage Preparation for Pressure Pump
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time. Sediments or
minerals can deposit on pump parts and “freeze” pump action. If you do not plan
to use the pressure washer for more than 30 days, follow this procedure:
1. Flush chemical injection hose by placing filter into a pail of clean water
while running pressure washer in low pressure mode. Flush for one to two
minutes.
2. Shut off pressure washer and let it cool, then remove high pressure and
garden hoses.
3. Empty pump of liquids by pulling engine recoil handle about 6 times. This
should remove most liquid from pump.
4. Ensure pump is clean and empty to prevent corrosion build up and freezing
of pump components.
5. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
