When you're finished using your washer, you screw it into the low pressure hose inlet into the washer pump. Then with the ignition "OFF" you pull the engine around a few times while spraying this into the pump. It's suppose to help keep everything lubricated, and prevent any corrosion and mineral deposits. Seems worthwhile for $8 bucks, so I picked up a can.
I also bought a bottle of this, per the Kohler operating manual. It's supposed to offset the effects of Ethanol in fuel, and help prevent any rust and corrosion in the fuel system.

I've also got Sta-Bil, and Sta-Bil 360. So I have enough additives to preserve my fuel until the Asteroid hits. I won't be using this thing very often, and I don't want the engine to get gunked up from sitting.
I use RV anti-freeze, Prestone green, or G05 works too, the RV stuff is cheaper. I have a small hose with a funnel on it, that screws into the water inlet. With the engine in the off position I pull the cord until the anti-freeze shoots out of the pump. I remove the funnel and fold the hose over itself and clamp it. The pump doesn't corrode and it won't freeze over, which is a concern here. I use 89 Octane gas, Marine formula Stabil, and a UCL in the gas. I estimate one of my power washers to be over 30 years old now. Stabil Marine hasn't been around as long as the machine, but the method I mentioned has maintained it. The pump is still the original and hasn't been rebuilt yet. It has seen commercial use and ran several hours a day during the exterior painting season.
