AFTER EACH USE
Water should notremain inthe unitfor long periods of time.
Sediments of minerals can depositon pump parts and
"freeze" pump action. Follow these procedures after every
use:
Flush detergent hose by placing the injector filter into
a pail of clear water while running Pressure Washer
with nozzle in tow pressure mode. Flush until you can
see clear water running through the tube.
Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove all
hoses.
CAUTION; Be sure ignition switch lever is
in "STOP" position before you continue. If
you start engine without the proper water
supply connected, you can damage the
pump.
Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about 6 times. This should remove most of the
liquid in the pump.
Coil the high pressure hose and inspect it for damage.
Cuts in the hose or fraying of it could result in leaks
and loss of pressure. Should any damage be found,
replace hose. DO NOT attempt to repair a damaged
hose. Replace hose with the genuine Craftsman part.
Drain water from hose and properly hang it on the
wire support provided on the guide handle.
Store in a clean, dry area.
A
DANGER: NEVER store engine with fuel in
tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilat-
ed areas where fumes may reach an open
flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace,
water heater, clothes dryer or other gas
appliance.
I,_ CAUTION: You must protect your unit
from freezing temperatures. Failure to do so
will permanently damage your pump and
render your unit inoperable.
WINTER STORAGE
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
• Draw RV antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into
the pump by pouring the washer fluid into a 3-foot
section of garden hose connected to the inlet adapter
and pulling the recoil handle twice.
LONG TERM STORAGE
If you do not plan to use the PressureWasher for more than
30 days, you must prepare the engine for long term storage.
Note: As always, prepare the pressure washer pump as
you would after each use.
Note: To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should
be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer.
Follow these instructions:
PROTECT FUEL SYSTEM
• Remove all gasoline from the fuel tank to prevent gum
deposits from forming on these parts and causing
possible malfunction of engine.
,_ DANGER: Drain fuel into approved con-
tainer outdoors, away from open flame. Be
sure engine is cool. Do not smoke.
Run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel. Make
sure you have water supply to pump inlet connected
and turned ON.
Note: If "Gasohol" has been used, complete above
instructions and then put 1/2 pint of unleaded gasoline
into fuel tank and repeat above instructions.
Note: Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL) is an acceptable
alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum
deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel
tank or storage container. Run engine at least 10 minutes
after adding stabilizer.
CHANGE OIL
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase, Refill
with recommended grade. (See Changing Oil Level on
Page 12.)
OIL CYLINDER BORE
• Remove spark plug and squirt about 1 ounce (30 ml)
of engine oil into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole
with rag. Crank slowly to distribute oil.
,_ CAUTION: Avoid spray from spark plug
hole when cranking engine slowly.
• install spark plug. Do not connect spark plug wire.
OTHER
Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give
protection from dust and dirt. BE SURE TO EMPTY
THE FUEL TANK.
• Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that
does not retain moisture.
IMPORTANT: NEVER cover your pressure washer while
engine and exhaust area are warm.
