Default Pressure Washer Maintenance

I recently took delivery of a Sears model 752050 gas powered pressure
washer.

For winter storage the manual has several recommendations including
usage of a "pump saver" additive.

Curious what real world users recommend for storage over the winter and
other extended periods.


Engine: Run the gas out of it or mix Stabil into a full gas tank.

Pump: Manually fill the pump with RV antifreeze............
To manually fill just rig a funnel to the pump inlet
and with the ignition off crank the engine until the
antifreeze runs out of the pump. Do not use standard
antifreeze. Use RV antifreeze.


Or purchase a aerosol can of pump antifreeze
for the same purpose.
