STORAGE & MAINTENANCE
WINTERIZING, CONT'D:
h. Holding the 3 foot hose in an upright position, completely fill the hose
with water. Then plug the hose outlet with your thumb or finger. Place
the plugged end into the 5 gallon bucket of water.
i. Turn the unit on. Trigger the gun several times until all the air is worked
out of the system (unit is primed).
NOTE: Proper winterizing is based on the recommended manufacturer's
instructions listed on the "Protection Chart" shown on the back label
of most antifreeze containers.
j. With the trigger gun held open, siphon enough water out of the 5 gallon
bucket until there is just enough water left to mix with the antifreeze.
k. Point the wand into the empty container and start the unit.
l. Trigger the gun until the antifreeze begins to exit the wand. Release
the trigger for 3 seconds, then trigger the gun for 3 seconds. Continue
cycling the gun several times until all the antifreeze mixture is siphoned
from the container.
m. Detach the 3 foot hose from the unit and drain any excess antifreeze
back into the 5 gallon container.
n. Disconnect the hose/gun/wand assembly from the unit and drain any
excess antifreeze back into the 5 gallon container.
o. Store the hose, gun and wand with the unit in a safe area.
p. Store antifreeze solution for next use or dispose of according to state
EPA laws.
3. Optional Procedure:
a. Shut the unit off.
b. Relieve system pressure by pointing the trigger gun in a safe direction
and squeezing the trigger until water flow ceases to exit the nozzle.
c. Disconnect and drain the hose, gun and wand.
d. Start the unit and allow it to run until all the water exits the unit. Once
the water has stopped flowing from the unit, turn off.
NOTE: When using this procedure, caution should be used as ice chips can
form from drops of water which could cause the unit to burst if starting
before completely thawed.
STARTING UNIT AFTER EXTENDED STORAGE:
1. BE CERTAIN the unit is NOT plugged into the power source.
2. Prior to restarting the unit, thaw out any possible ice from the wand, gun,
hose and unit.
3. After following all "PREPARATION" instructions, start the unit momentarily
and immediately turn "OFF" to ensure all parts are lubricated before
operation.
