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 detergent hose by placing the injector filter
into a pail of clear water while running Pressure
Washer with nozzle in low pressure mode. Flush
until you can see clear water running through the
tube.
Shut off the engine and let it coot, then remove all
hoses.
WARNING: Be sure throttle 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 Iiquids by pulling
recoil handle about 6 times. This should remove
most of the liquid in the pump.
Coil the high pressure hose and inspect itfor
damage. Cuts in the hose or fraying of it coufd
result in leaks and toss 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 properly hang it on the
wire support provided on the guide handle.
DANGER: NEVER store engine with fuel
in tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly
ventilated areas where fumes may reach
an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a
furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or
other gas appliance.
Store in a clean, dry area.
WINTER STORAGE
CAUTION: You must protect your unit
from freezing temperatures. Failure to do
so will permanently damage your pump
and render your unit inoperable.
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 Pressure Washer 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.
To avoid engine probfems, 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
container 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
instructionsand 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 oi! from crankcase.
Refill with recommended grade. (See Changing Engine
Oil 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.
I_ AUTION: Avoid spray from spark plug
hole when cranking engine slowly.
o install spark plug. Do not connect spark plug wire.
OTHER
o
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.
