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 pfacing the injector filter
into a pail of clear water while running Pressure
Washer with nozzle in low pressure modemFlush
until you can see clear water running through the
tube°
o Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove all
hoses°
,_ CAUTION: Be sure the Run/Stop Lever is in the
"Stop" position before you continue° If you start
the engine without the proper water supply
connected, you can damage the pump..
o Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling
recoil handle about 6 times with the Run/Stop Lever
in the "Stop" position. 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 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..
Store in a clean, dry area°
,_ DANGER: Never store the engine with fuel in
the gas tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly
ventilated areas where fumes may reach an
open flame, a spark, or pilot light,.
WINTER STORAGE
_1 AUTION: 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..
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
,_ DANGER: Drain fuel into approved container
outdoors, away from open flame° Be sure
engine is coolo Do not smoke°
= Remove all gasoline from the fue! 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.
