Protecting the Pressure Washer in Winter

Conditions

Removing Water from the System

To remove any remaining water from the system:

►

Switch off the pressure washer,

@

11.2.

►

Disconnect the pressure washer from the power supply.

►

Shut off the water supply.

►

Relieve system pressure.

►

Remove the high-pressure hose,

@

8.2.2.

►

Disconnect the water hose,

@

9.

►

Drain the water out of the high-pressure hose and water

hose.

►

Connect the power supply cord to a properly installed

electrical outlet that matches the voltage and electrical

frequency stated on the pressure washer's rating plate.

►

Switch on the pressure washer and let the pump run for up

to 30 seconds until the water flow stops. Remaining water

will be eliminated from the system.

►

Switch off pressure washer and disconnect it from the

power supply.

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.

Protecting the Pressure Washer with Antifreeze

WARNING

When using antifreeze to protect your pressure washer in

winter conditions, observe all warnings and instructions

provided by the manufacturer to reduce the risk of

environmental contamination or severe personal injury from

ingestion.

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.
