AFTER EACH USE
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of
time. Sediments of minerals can deposit on pump
parts and =freeze" pump action. Follow these
procedures after every use:
• Flush the chemical system by selecting the System
Rinse tank and run the Pressure Washer with
nozzle in low pressure mode. Flush for one minute
or untilthe chemical is cleared from the system.
• Shut off the engine and let it cool, then rempve all
hoses.
,_ CAUTION: Be sure the engine Run/Stop,switchis in the '0' or Stop position before you
continue.
• Empty the pump of all pumped liquidsby pulling
recoil handle about 6 times w th the Run/Stop
switch in the '0' or Stop pos tron.This should
remove most ofthe liquid in the pump.
• -Rotate the Dial-A-Cleaner TM selector knob to the
OFF position.
• Coil the high pressure hose and inspect it for
damage. Cuts inthe hose or fraying.could result in
leaks and loss of pressure. Should any damage be
found, replace the hose. DO NOT attempt to repair
a damaged hose. Replace the hose with the
genuine Craftsman part.
• Drain water from hose and properlyhang it on the
wire support provided.
• Store system in a clean, dry area.
,_ DANGER: _lever store the engine with fuel inthe gas tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly
ventilated areas where fumes may reach an
open flame, a spark, or pilot light.
WINTER STORAGE
,_ CAUTION: YQp must protect your unit fromfreezing temperatures. Failureto do so will
permanently damage your pump and render
your unit inoperable.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
• Empty all chemical reservoirs as follows:
a. Disconnect hose connected to chemical inject
fitting on the pump. Place end of hose into
suitable container.
b. Move the selector knob to Tank A and open
that tank's cover. Gravity should shortly empty
the tank contents into the container.
c. When the tank is empty, repeat.step (b) for
tanks B and C.
d. Reconnect the hose to the chemical inject
fittingon the pump. Add 0.5 liter of clean fresh
water to each tank and close tank's covers.
Flush the chemical system by selecting a tank and
run the Pressure Washer with nozzle in low
pressure mode. Flush until each tank is empty, then
switch the selector knob to the next tank. The last
tank to be emptied must be the System Rinse tank.
Connect a 3-foot section of garden hose to the inlet
adapter. Pour RV-Antifreeze (antifreeze without
alcohol) into the hose. Pull the recoil handle twice.
LONG TERM STORAGE
If you do not plan to use the Pressure Washer for
more than 30 days, you must prepare the engine for
long term storage.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also,
experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system
of an engine while in storage.
Protect Fuel System
,i_ DANGER: Drain fuel into approved container
outdoors, away from open flame. Be sure
engine is cool. Do not smoke.
• Remove all gasoline from the fuel tank to prevent
gum deposits from forming on these parts and
causing possible malfunction of engine.
• Run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel.
Make sure you have water supply to pump inlet
connected and turned ON.
Change Oil
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase.
Refill with recommended grade. (See Changing Oil)
Oil Cylinder Bore
• Remove spark plug. Squirt about I ounce (30 ml) of
engine oil into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole
with rag. Crank engine slowly to distribute oil.
,_ CAUTION: Avoid spray from spark plug holewhen cranking engine.
• install spark plug. Do not connect spark plug wire.
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to
give protection from dust and dirt. BE SURE TO
EMPTY THE FUEL TANK.
IMPORTANT: NEVER cover your cleaning system
while engine and exhaust area are warm.
