CAUTRON! AbohoPbbnded fuels (called gasohoJ,
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
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the
fuel tank, start the engine and Jet it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next
season. See "Storage" on pages 19-20 for additional
information.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.
LOWER LI_T
Connect Hose and Water Supp{y to Pump
liVlPORTANT: To avoid pump damage, you must
assemble the nozzle extension to the spray gun and
attach all hoses before you start the engine.
1. Uncoil high pressure hose and attach one end of
hose to base of spray gun. Tighten by hand.
NOTE: Remove and discard all pump shipping caps
before attaching hoses.
2. Attach other end of high pressure hose to high
pressure outlet on pump. Tighten by hand.
4. Run water through garden hose for 30 seconds to
flush it of debris. Turn off water.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT siphon standing water for the
water supply. Use ONLY cold water (less than 100°F).
5. Connect garden hose (not to exceed 50 feet in
length) to water inlet. Tighten by hand.
CAUTION
Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty,
6. Turn ON water and squeeze trigger on spray gun
to purge pump system of air and impurities.
WARNING
Always wear eye protection when using this equipment
or in vicinity of where equipment is in use.
Before starting the pressure washer, be sure you are
wearing adequate eye protection,
.
Before connecting garden hose to water inlet,
inspect inlet screen. Clean screen if it contains
debris or have it replaced if damaged. Refer to
section "O-Ring Maintenance" if inlet screen is
damaged. DO NOT run pressure washer if inlet
screen is damaged.
Inspect inlet
screen. DO
NOT use if
_- damaged;

felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
If engine starts and fails to continue to run or if increased
resistance is felt during starting pul! attempts, squeeze
trigger on spray gun.
13. Return recoil starter slowly. DO NOT let rope
"snap back" against starter.
14. When engine starts, slowly move choke rod to
"Open" position as engine warms. If engine
falters, move choke rod to "Closed" position, then
to "Open" position.
Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray
gun while system is pressurized.
Squeeze trigger on spray gun to relieve trapped
pressure, every time you stop engine. Engage trigger

spray tip off. Store spray tips in holder provided on
the nozzle extension.
Usage Tips
• Pull back on collar, insert new spray tip and release
collar. Tug on spray tip to make sure it is securely
in place.
• For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from
8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface. If you
get spray tip too close, you may damage cleaning
surface.
• DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning
tires.
11
C_eaning and Applying Chemica_
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could
damage the pump.
CAUTION
• Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and
without the water turned ON will damage the pump.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty,
To apply detergent follow these steps:
1. Review spray tip use.
2. Prepare chemical solution as required by
manufacturer.
3. Pour chemical solution into chemical reservoir
labeled A or B.
NOTE: Each chemical reservoir holds two quarts.
4. Fill other chemical reservoir with a different
prepared solution, as desired.
5. Make sure black spray tip is installed.
NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with the high
pressure spray tips (White, Yellow, or Red).
6. Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet
and water supply is turned on. Check that high
pressure hose is connected to spray gun and
pump; start engine.
7. Rotate chemical shut-off valve on desired
chemical reservoir to "On" position.
Pressure Washer Rinsing
After detergent isapplied, scour the surface and rinse
it clean as follows:
1. Apply trigger lock to spray gun.
2. Make sure both chemical shut-off valves are in
"Off" position.
3. Remove black spray tip from nozzle extension.
4. Select and install desired high pressure spray tip
following instructions in "How to Use Spray Tips".
5. Keep spray gun a safe distance from spray
surface.
WARNING
Keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from
cleaning surface.
Operate this unit on a stable surface.
Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure
washer from a ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively
unstable location.
Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high
pressure spray to avoid injury if gun kicks back.
.
Apply a high pressure spray to a small area and
then check the surface for damage. If no damage,
proceed to step 7.
.
Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down
with same overlapping strokes used for cleaning.
"Off" Position
CAUTION
Only one chemical solution should be used at a time to
avoid possible bodily injury and/or property damage,
.
Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward,
using long, even, overlapping strokes.
g.
Allow detergent to soak in between 3-5 minutes
before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to
prevent surface from drying. DO NOT allow
detergent to dry on (prevents streaking).
Automatic Coo_ Down System
(Therma_ Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray
gun, circulating water in the pump can reach
temperatures above 125°F. The system engages to
cool the pump by discharging the warm water onto
the ground.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Regular maintenance will improve the performance
and extend the life of the pressure washer. See any
authorized Sears dealer for service.
The pressure washer warranty does not cover items
that have been subjected to operator abuse or
negligence. To receive full value from the warranty,
the operator must maintain pressure washer as
instructed in this manual including proper storage as
detailed in "Storage" on pages 19-20.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer.
All service and adjustments should be made at least
once each season. Follow the requirements in the
"Maintenance Schedule" chart on page 14.
NOTE: Once a year you should clean or replace the
spark plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug
and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and
help your engine run better and last longer.
If equipped with inflatable tires, keep the air pressure
at the value marked on the tire or within 15 and 40 psi.
