If the pressure washer is to be exposed to freezing
temperatures, it should be protected by a glycol-based
antifreeze. The antifreeze prevents water inside the
pressure washer from freezing and causing damage to the
pressure washer.
To protect the pressure washer with antifreeze:
► Drain the water out of the high-pressure hose.
► Disconnect the spray lance from the spray gun.
► Connect the shortest possible water hose to the pressure
washer. The shorter the water hose, the less antifreeze is
needed.
► Point the spray lance downward and wait until all the water
has flowed out of the system.
► Pour antifreeze into a clean container.
► Connect a suction hose to the water inlet of the high-
pressure pump and place the other end of the hose in the
container of antifreeze.
► Squeeze and hold the spray gun trigger.
► Switch on the pressure washer.
► Hold down the spray gun trigger until an even jet of
antifreeze is delivered from the spray gun. Keep the spray
gun into the container and follow the antifreeze supplier's
instructions for avoiding environmental release.
► Press and release spray gun trigger several times.
► Switch off the pressure washer and disconnect it from the
power supply.
► Detach the spray gun, high-pressure hose and water hose
and allow antifreeze to run into the container.
► Collect and dispose of the antifreeze in accordance with
the manufacturer's specifications and all federal, state
and local laws, regulations and ordinances.
NOTICE
Freezing temperatures can damage components of the
pressure washer. STIHL recommends storing the pressure
washer indoors in a dry room where it is protected from
freezing temperatures. Relieve all system pressure and
make sure all water is eliminated from the pump system and
hoses before storing.
14.1 Transporting the Pressure Washer
When transporting the pressure washer:
► Pull the pressure washer by the pushbar (1) with one

carrying handle (2).
► When transporting the pressure washer in a vehicle,
ensure that the pressure washer is standing upright, lying
on its back, secured with lashing straps, belts or a net and
cannot topple over or move.
