The powerful sprayfrom your pressure washer iscapable of causingdamage to fragile surfaces suchas:wood, glass,
automobile paint, auto strippingand trim, and delicate objects such asflowers and shrubs. Before spraying, check the
item to be cleaned to assureyourself that it is robust enough to resist damage from the force of the spray. Avoid the
use of the concentrated spray stream except for very strongsurfaceslike concrete and steel.
Operating unit with water supplyshut offwithout flowof water willresult inequipment damage. You shouldnever run
this pressure washer for more than 2 minutes without pulling the tdgger to allow cool water to enter the pump and the
heated (recirculated) water to exit. Running the pressure washer with water supply shut off will void your warranty.

Instructions.
Note: Included with your unit is a video cassette that
demonstrates howto operateyour pressurewasher.
Ifyou have a video cassette recorderyou shouldto
viewthevideo before operation.
A,WARNING: Never adjustspray patternwhen
spraying. Never put handsinfrontof spray nozzleto
adjustspray pattern you couldbe injured.
Stopping Your Pressure Washer
& CAUTION: Do not run pump withoutthe water ]
supply connected and turnedon. Failureto do so
I
will resultin pump damage.
• Move throttlecontroltothe stop positiontoturn
pressurewasher off.
• Simply shuttingOFF engine willnot release pressure
in the system. After engine has stopped, squeeze
the trigger on the spray gun for about 3 seconds to
relieve pressure. Spray stream will decrease in
length.
Before Starting The Engine
Tooperate theengine youwillneed to do thefollowing.
Note: Yourpressure washer pump isa sealed pump,
you shouldnever havetoadd or changethe oil.
Ih, CAUTION: Always check engineoil level before I

IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with a thermal relief
valve. If unit is allowed to run for several minutes
without pressing the trigger on the spray gun, several
drops of water may be released through this valve to
cool the unit. This small amount of water will drip from
the bottom of the pump,
Although multi-viscosityoils (5W30, lOW30, etc.)
improve starting in clod weather, these multi-viscosity
oils will result in increasedoil consumption when used
above 40°F Check your engine oil level more frequently
to avoid possible damage from running low on oil. Oil
sump capacity is 20 ounces.
Gasoline
Your pressure washer engine is4 cycle. Use unleaded
fuel only.
A, AUTION: Do not overfillthe fuel tank. Always
allowroom for fuel expansion.
A, ARNING: Never fillfuel tank indoors.Toavoid
explosionand injury,never fillfuel tank when
engine isrunningor hot.Do not smokeor have
open flame when fillingfuel tank.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasolinewitha
minimumof 85 octane. Do not mix oilwith gasoline. If
unleaded fuel is unavailable leaded fuel may be used.
IMPORTANT: It isimportantto prevent gum deposits
from formingin essentialfuel system parts such as
the carburetor,fuelfilterhose ortank duringstorage.
Also,experience indicatesthat alcohol-blendedfuels
(calledgasohol or usingethanolor methanol)can
attract moisture which leadsto separationand forma-
tion ofacids duringstorage. Acidic gascan damage
the fuel system ofan engine whilein storage. To avoid
engine problems, the fuel system shouldbe emptied
beforestorage of 30 daysor longer.Never use engine
orcarburetor cleaner productsinthefueltank or
permanent damage may occur.
I_ CAUTION: Never startpressure washer without I

water source turned on and connected to
I
pressure washer.Failure to do so willcause
pump damage.
To Start Your Pressure Washer
• Remove gas cap.
• Add unleaded gasoline, slowly,to fuel tank.
• Do not overfill.
• Squeeze trigger on pressurewasher wand to relieve
airpressurecaused byturningon the water.Water

• For hot engine restarts, make sure throttle is in the
rabbit (high speed) position and the choke lever is in
the RUN position.
• Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until resistance
is felt, then pull firmly to start engine.
How To Use Your Pressure Washer
On the end of yourspray gun is a nozzle that you can
slide forward and backward and that you can also
twist from side to side. With the adjustable nozzle you
can adjustthe spray pattern to either high pressure
or low pressure. You can also adjust the spray so it is
concentrated in a stream pattern or expanded into a fan
pattem.
• Slide the nozzle in a forward position to draw chemical
and achieve low pressure. Pull nozzle back for high
pressure.
HIGH PRESSURE LOW PRESSURE
• To adjust your spray pattern twist the nozzle
clockwisefor fan spray orcounterclockwisefor
stream spray.
FAN SPRAY
STREAM SPRAY
• For mosteffectivecleaning, keep spray nozzle
between 8 and 24 inchesfrom cleaning surface.
IMPORTANT: If you get spray nozzle too close,
especially on high pressure, you may damage the
surface you are cleaning.
Using Soaps/Chemicals
IMPORTANT: Use soaps and chemicalsthat are
designedspecificallyfor use with pressure washers,To
apply soaps/chemicals follow these steps:
• Preparethe soap/chemical as requiredby yourjob.
• Insertsoap/chemicalline intoyourcontainer(soap/

• Slide the adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure
mode. Soap/chemicals cannot be applied with nozzle
in high pressure position.
• Reviewthe use of the adjustable nozzle.
• Connect garden hose to water inlet(see"To Start Your
Pressure Washer" on page 9).Check that high
pressure hose is connected to spray gun and pump
(seeAssembly), and start engine.
• Apply soap/chemicals to dry surface, starting from the

Carburetor
The carburetor of your high pressure washer is pre-set
at the factory. The carburetor should not be tampered
with. If you pressure washer is used at an altitude in
excess of 5000 feet consult with your nearest Sears
Service Center regarding high altitude set changes.
A CAUTION: Engine speed was properly adjusted
at the factory and should require no additional
adjustment. Do not attempt to change engine
speed, If you believe the engine is running too fast
or too slow, take your pressure to a Sears
Authorized Service Center for repair and adjustment.
,& WARNING:High engine speeds are dangerous and
increase the risk of personal injury or damage to

Nozzle Cleaning
Ifthe nozzle becomes clogged withforeign materials,
such as dirt, excessive pressure may develop. If the
nozzle becomes partially clogged or restricted, the
pump pressure will pulsate. Clean the nozzle immedi-
ately using the nozzle kit supplied and the following
instructions.
1. Shut off the pressure washer and turn off the water
supply.
2, Disconnect spark plug wire.

• Next shut off engine and disconnect thewater
supply.
• Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the spark
plug.
• Add one teaspoon of oil through the spark plug
hc4e.
• Place rag over spark plug hole and pull the recoil a
few times to iubricate the combustion chamber.
• Replace the spark plug, but do not connect the spark
