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. DP80 is availabe at the
store where the pressure washer was purchased. 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 wind-
shield washer fluid is to provide proper lubrication to the internal
seals of the pump regardless of temperature or environment.

washer fluid, and 16–36" (3.17 mm) of garden hose with a male
hose connector attached to one end.

other an ti freeze is corrosive and can damage pump.
