Most vunerable thing are the brass parts of your wand and handtools. These will freeze and spilt quite easily once it reaches freezing point. This also goes for any parts of your machines with fluid in them. It can blow hose fittings and damage your pump head.
Also don't forget your chemicals can be damaged by cold temperatures, not just freezing. Protectors especially can be rendered useless.
