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:
•
Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter
into a pail of clean water while running pressure
washer in low pressure mode. Flush for one to two
minutes.
•
Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove all
hoses.
•
Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.
•
Empty the pump of all liquids by pulling recoil
handle about 3 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 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.
•
Reconnect spark plug wire to spark plug.
•
Store unit 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
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:
•
Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter
into a pail of clean water while running pressure
washer in low pressure mode. Flush for one to two
minutes.
•
Disconnect hose connected to chemical inject
fitting on the pump.
•
Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling
recoil handle about 3 times. This should remove
most of the liquid in the pump.
STORAGE
•
Connect a 3-foot section of garden hose to the
water inlet adapter. Pour RV–antifreeze (antifreeze
without alcohol) into the hose. Pull the recoil handle
twice. Disconnect 3-foot hose.
•
Properly dispose of leftover antifreeze.
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
Fuel additive:
If adding a fuel additive, fill the fuel tank with fresh
gasoline. If only partially filled, air in the tank will
promote fuel deterioration during storage. Engine and
fuel can be stored up to 24 months with additive.
•
Add fuel additive following manufacturer's
instructions.
•
Make sure you have water supply to pump inlet
connected and turned ON.
•
Run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure
that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated
gasoline in the carburetor.
If fuel additive is not used, remove all fuel from tank
and run engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
Change Oil
While engine is still warm, not hot, drain oil from
crankcase. Refill with recommended grade. See
"Changing Oil" on page 11.
Oil Cylinder Bore
•
Remove spark plug. Squirt about 1/2 ounce of
clean engine oil into the cylinder. Cover spark plug
hole with rag. Pull recoil handle slowly to distribute
oil. Avoid spray from spark plug hole.
•
Install spark plug. Do Not connect spark plug wire.
IMPORTANT: NEVER cover your pressure washer
while engine and exhaust area are warm.
