Consult the Engine Owners Manual for
the manufacturer's recommendations
for storage.
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. If a pump
protector/winterizer is not available, RV
antifreeze or windshield washer fluid
needs to be run through the pump as
outlined in the steps below.
NOTE: Using a pump protector/
winterizer, RV antifreeze or windshield
washer fluid is to provide proper
lubrication to the internal seals of the
pump regardless of temperature or
environment.

antifreeze or windshield washer
fluid, and 16–36" of garden hose
with a male hose connector
