The pump in this machine is susceptible to permanent damage
if frozen. FREEZE DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY.
• Store in a dry, covered area where the weather cannot
damage the machine.
• It is important to store this product in a frost-free area.
• Always empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the
detergent container before storing.

recommended to prevent cold weather damage during storage
over the winter months.
Winterizing and long-term storage
If you must store your pressure washer in a location where
the temperature is below 32ºF (0ºC), you can minimize the
chance of damage to your machine by utilizing the following
procedure:
• Disconnect all water connections.
• Turn on the machine for a few seconds until the remaining
water in the pump exits. Turn off immediately.
• Do not allow the high pressure hose to become kinked.
• Store the machine and accessories in a room that does
not reach freezing temperatures.
• Do not store near a furnace or other sources of heat as it
may dry out the pump seals.
• Operate the washer with non-corrosive/non-toxic
antifreeze before storing for the winter.
mWARNING! Before reusing, completely ush the unit
out with plain water. Antifreeze can damage paintwork so you
must ensure there is no antifreeze left in the system before
using it again.
Maintenance
m
CAUTION! Before working on the washer, disconnect
the plug from the power supply socket.
• To ensure good performance, check and clean the water
inlet lter (Fig. 22). Remove lter and rinse with warm
water to prevent any foreign matter from clogging the
pump (Fig. 23).
