I am a Dumbo (winterizing)
I purchased a TROY-BUILT MODEL 01904 in July of 2003. It is beginning to get cold up he in MA so I decided I would protect my investment by winterizing the unit. I purchase some Magnum pump armor then proceeded to get confuse with the instructions now for the dumb part I removed the vent cap from the black part of the pump assembly after poring in a couple of ounces I notice that oil was coming out of the top plug area where my funnel was place, this is when my panic started I then realized I did something bad, now I read the manual that was supplied with the pressure washer no information on this part of the pump. I can not locate a drain for this reservoir or any mention of the type of oil that would be used. Realizing it was now getting dark and cold I pushed the pressure washer into my shed where it is sitting now can anyone tell me what to do next.
I would greatly appreciate any help you may provide. I didn’t want to contact the manufacturer because of fears this would nullify my warrantee.
