AFTER EACH USE

Water should not remain in the unitfor long periods of

time. Sediments of minerals can deposit on pump

parts and =freeze"pump action. Followthese

procedures after every use:

• Flush detergent hose by placing the injectorfilter

into a pail of clear water while runningPressure

Washer with nozzle in low pressure mode. Flush

until you can see clear water runningthrough the

tube.

• Shutoff the engine and let itcool, then remove all

hoses.

,_ CAUTION: Be sure the Run/Stop Lever is in the

"Stop" positionbefore you continue. If you start

the engine withoutthe proper water supply

connected, you can damage the pump.

• 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.

• Coilthe high pressure hose and inspect it for

damage. Cuts in the hose or fraying of itcould

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 propedy hang iton the

wire supportprovided on the guide handle.

• Store in a clean, dry area.

_k ANGER: Never store the engine with fuel in

the gas tank indoorsor in enclosed, peody

ventilated areas where fumes may reach an

openflame, a spark, or pilot light.

WINTER STORAGE

_k AUTION: You must protectyour unitfrom

freezing temperatures. Failureto do so will

permanently damage your pump and render

yourunitinoperable.

To protect the unitfrom freezing temperatures:

• Draw RV-Antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol)

into the pump by pouringthe washer fluid into a 3-

foot sectionof garden hose connected to the inlet

adapter and pullingthe 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

dudng storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system

of an en_]ine while in storage.

Protect Fuel System

,_ DANGER: Drain fuel into approved containeroutdoors, away from open flame. Be sure

engin_ is cool. Do not smoke.
