STORAGE
PRESSURE WASHER PUMP
Water should not remain in the unit for long periodsof time.
Sediments of minerals can deposit on pump parts and
"freeze" pump action. If you do not plan to use the Pressure
Washer for more than 30 days, follow this procedure:
= 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 water in line is clear_
Shut off the engine and let it co0!, THEN REMOVE ALL
HOSES. Place throttle lever in STOP" position.
_ CAUTION: BE SURE THE THROTTLE LEVER IS IN
"STOP" POSITION BEFORE YOU CONTINUE, IF
YOU STARTTHE ENGINE WlTHOUTTHE PROPER
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTED, YOU CAN DAM-
AGE THE PUMP.
° Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about 6 times. This should remove most of the
liquid in the pump.
We recommend that the pressure washer pump storage
proecedures be followed after every use
- Coil the high pressure hose and inspect it for damage.
Cuts in the hose or fraying of it could result in leaksand
loss of pressure. Should any damage be found, replace
the hose. DO NOT attempt to repair a damaged hose
and use it. Replace the hose with the genuine Crafts-
man part_
= Drain water from hose and properly hang it on the wire
support provided on the guide handle

It is irn_rtant to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuet
filter, fuet hose or tank during storage. Also, experience
indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called "gasohol" or'
using 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
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emp_Jedbefore storage of 30 days or longer. Follow these
instructions:
Drain Fuel System: Remove all gasoline from carburetor
and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on
these parts and causing possible malfunction of engine_
WARNING: DRAIN FUEL INTO APPROVED CON-
TAINER OUTDOORS, AWAY FROM OPEN FLAME.
BE SURE ENGINE IS COOL. DO NOT SMOKE.
o if you did use "gasohoi", run engine until engine stops
from lack of fuel. Make sure you have water supply to
pump inlet connected and tumed ON..
° Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BtL ®) is an acceptable
alternative in minimizing fuel gum deposits during stoF.
