Air Cooling System
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling
fins and cannot be observed without partial engine
disassembly. For this reason, we recommend you
have a qualified Sears service dealer clean the cooling
system per recommended intervals (see Maintenance
Schedule). Equally important is to keep top of engine
free from debris. See Clean Debris.
Carburetor Adjustment
The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is
equipped with a non-adjustable idle mixture valve. Top
speed has been set at the factory. If adjustment is
required, see an authorized service dealer.
CAUTION Excessively high operating speeds
could result in minor injury.
Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.
DO NOT tamper with governor spring, links or other parts
to increase engine speed. Pressure washer supplies
correct rated pressure and flow when running at
governed speed.
DO NOT modify pressure washer in any way.
AFTER EACH USE
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of
time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts
and "freeze" pump action. Follow these procedures
after every use:
1. Move engine switch to OFF position, turn off
water supply, point gun in a safe direction, press
red button and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped
pressure and let engine cool.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water
that this equipment produces could cut
through skin and its underlying tissues,
resulting in serious injury and possible
amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected, which
could result in serious injury.
Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray
gun while system is pressurized.
ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red
button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high
pressure, every time you stop engine.
2. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure
outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, gun, and
nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.
3. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about 6 times. This should remove most
liquid in pump.
4. Coil high pressure hose on hose wrap provided on
accessory tray.
5. Store unit in a clean, dry area.

Storage on next page.
