As temperatures begin to drop, it’s important to make sure your pressure washer is ready to handle the winter season. Proper winter maintenance can help protect your investment and ensure that your Easy-Kleen machine is in peak condition when you need it again. Here are some key steps to winterize your pressure washer and keep it running efficiently.
Winterizing Your Easy-Kleen Pressure Washer
To help your machine survive the winter months, follow these essential steps:
- Protect the Heating Coil
Fully drain the heating coil to prevent freezing damage. For added protection, run antifreeze through the coil and hose. - Care for Your Pump
Topping up your pump oil and blowing out any remaining water with compressed air are vital steps. After draining, this ensures there’s no trapped water left to freeze and cause damage. - Battery and Fuel Maintenance
Disconnect the battery for the season, and if you have a gasoline-powered model, either drain the fuel or add a stabilizer to prevent it from going bad.
Additional Winter Maintenance Tips
Taking extra care of your machine during winter doesn’t end with these basic steps. Here are some other key maintenance tips to consider:
- Replace Filters, Nozzles, and Electrodes
Cleaning or replacing these components helps ensure optimal performance when you start back up. This simple step can make a big difference in prolonging the life of your pressure washer. - Inspect for Wear and Tear
Before storing your machine, check for any worn-out parts, such as o-rings or nozzles, and replace them if necessary. A full inspection now will save you time when you’re ready to start up again.
Your Easy-Kleen pressure washer is built for durability, but a little maintenance goes a long way in ensuring top performance. By preparing for winter, you’ll extend the lifespan of your machine and ensure it’s ready to handle your cleaning needs come spring.
