Frost protection

Caution!
Water which has frozen in the cleaner
can destroy parts of it. At best store the unit
in a heated room during the winter or empty
it or rinse it thoroughly with antifreeze.
Empty the unit
Unscrew supply hose and high-pressure
hose from the unit.
Leave the unit running until the pump
and lines have emptied (max. 1 minute).
Putting in antifreeze
For longer intervals between operations,
pumping antifreeze through the unit is to
be recommended. By this means also
you obtain a sure protection against
corrosion.
