Is using an air compressor to blow the water out of a pump/hoses a reliable way to winterize a power washer?
I have two washers side by side on my trailer. About a month ago, the connecting rod broke on one of my B&S Vanguard 18hp engines. I did not repair or replace that engine yet, so that power washer is inoperable, and I can't run antifreeze through it like I usually would.
I do have a schrader valve installed........would it be good enough to blow it out? I dont care to take any chances........since it had a brand new pump put on under a year ago......
