AssembJingYour Pressure Pasher

Your Craftsman pressure washer will need assembly before operation:

1. Fill out and send in registration card.

2. Attach handle.

3. Add oil to engine crankcase.

4. Addfuel to fuel tank.

5. Verifypump oil dipstick (A) has beeninstalled into pump.

6. Connectpressure hoseto spray gun and pump.

7. Connectwater supply to pump.

8. Attach nozzleextensionto spray gun.

9. Select/attachquick connect spray tip to nozzle extension.

Attach HandJe

1. Placehandle (B) onto handle supports (C) connected to

main unit. Makesure holes (D) in handlealign with

holes (D) on handle supports.

NOTE:it may be necessaryto movethe handlesupports from sideto side in order to align the handle so it will slide over the handle supports.

2. Insert carriage bolts (E)through holes from outside of

unit and attach a plastic knob (F) from inside of unit.

Tighten by hand.

3. Insert multi-colored spray tips in spacesprovided in handle.

Add Engine Oil

1. Placepressurewasher on a fiat, ]eve]surface.

2. Cleanareaaround oil fill and remove oil fill cap/dipstick. NOTE:SeeOffRecommendations in Maintenancesection.

Verify provided oil bottle is the correct viscosity for current ambienttemperature.

4. Install fuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.

CAUTION!Alcohol-blendedfuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) canattract moisture, which leads to separation and

formation of acids during storage.Acidic gas can damagethe fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.

Toavoid engine problems, the fuel system should be treated with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. If adding a fuel preserver,fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel. if only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. If fuel preserver is not used, drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season. SeeStoragefor additional information.

NEVERuseengine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel

tank as permanent damagemay occur.

Thepressure washer warranty doesnot cover items that havebeen subjectedto operator abuse or negligence.To

receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must

maintain pressure washer as instructed in this manual including proper storage as detailedin Storage.

Someadjustments will needto be madeperiodically to properly maintain your pressure washer.

All service and adjustments should be madeat least once eachseason. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance

Schedulechart. NOTE:Oncea year you should clean or replacethe spark

plug and replacethe air filter. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run

better and last longer.

Before Each Use

1. Checkengine oil level.

2. Cleandebris.

3. Checkwater inlet screen for damage.

4. Checkhigh pressure hose for leaks.

5. Checkgun and nozzleextension assembly for leaks.

6. Purgepump of air and contaminants.

PRESSUREWASHERMAINTENANCE

Clean Debris

Dailyor before use, clean accumulated debris from pressure washer. Keeplinkage, spring and controls clean. Keeparea around and behind muffler free from any combustible debris.

Inspectcooling air slots and openings on the pressure washer.These openings must be kept cleanand

unobstructed.

Pressurewasher parts should be kept clean to reducethe

risk of overheatingand ignition of accumulated debris.

• Usea damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

Check High Pressure Hose

High pressure hoses can developleaksfrom wear, kinking, or abuse, inspecthose before each use.Checkfor cuts, leaks,abrasions, bulging of cover, or damageor movement of couplings. If any of these conditions exist, replacehose immediately.

Nozzle Maintenance

A pulsing sensation felt while squeezingthe spray gun trigger

may be caused by excessivepump pressure. The principal

cause of excessive pump pressure is a spray tip clogged or

restricted with foreign materials,such as dirt, etc. To correct

the problem, immediately cleanthe spray tip following these

instructions:

1. Shut off engine andturn off water supply.

2. ALWAYSpoint spray gun in a safe direction, press red button and and squeezespray gun trigger to release retainedhigh water pressure.
