HOW TO USE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS operating your pres
sure washer, please call the pressure washer helpline
at 1-800-222-3136.
WARNING NEVER adjust ^ray iMttem
when spraying. NEVER put hands in front
of spray nozzle to ac^ust spray pattern.
You could be injured.
HOW TO USE THB-ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE
On the end of your spray gun is a nozzle that you
can slide forward and backward and that you can
also twist from side to side. With the adjustable noz
zle you can adjust the spray pattern to be 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 pattern.
• Slide the nozzle forward when you wish to adjust
the spray to low pressure mode. Slide the nozzle
backward to achieve high pressure.
• If you get spray nozzle too dose, especially using
high pressure mode, you may damage the clean
ing surface.
APPLYING DETERGENT AND CLEANING WITH
ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could dam
age the pump.
IMPORTANT: You must attach all hoses before you
start the engine. Starting the engine without all the
hoses connected and without the water turned ON
will damage the pump.
To apply detergent follow these steps;
• Prepare the detergent solution as required by the
job.
• Hang the detergent solution on the "J” hook on
the wire forni on the guide handle.
• Place small filter on the clear, chemical injection
tube into the detergent container.
Pressure Mode
Twisting the nozzle adjusts the spray pattern from
a narrow pattern to a fan pattern.

• Slide the adjustable nozzle forward to low pres
sure mode. Detergent cannot be applied with
nozzie in high pressure position.
Note: The first step involves applying an appropriate
detergent/solvent solution to penetrate and loosen
grime. The detergent is applied at low pressure to
avoid splashing, overspraying and waste. Leave the
solution on surface for 3 to 5 minutes to allow solu
tion to work.
Note: The second step involves cleaning the surface
you have prepared with the pressure washer and
then rinsing it clean.
• Review the use of the adjustable nozzle.
• Connect garden hose to water inlet (see “TO
START PRESSURE WASHER”), check that high
pressure hose is connected to spray gun and
pump (see ASSEMBLY), and start engine.
• For cleaning, start at lower portion of area to be
washed and work upward, using long, even over
lapping strokes.
• Allow the detergent to soak in between 3-5 min
utes before washing and rinsing.
Page 8
RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER
WARNING Be extremely careful if you must
use the pressure washer from ladder, scaf
folding or any other relatively unstable loca
tion. Pressure in a running washer builds in
the wand as you climb. When you press the
trigger, the recoil from the initial spray could
force you to fall, or if you are too close to the
cleaning surface, high pressure could force
you off a climbing apparatus.
Note: When adding oil to the engine crankcase in the
future, use only high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classification SF or SG rated SAE 30 weight. Use
no special additives.
Select the oil’s viscosity grade according to your expect
ed operating temperature.

• Hook up the water supply and start your pressure
washer (see TO START THE PRESSURE WASHER).
• Slide adjustable nozzle back to high pressure position
and wait for detergent to clear. Detergent will not flow
when in the high pressure mode.
• When detergent has cleared you may want to expand
the spray pattern for a more gentle rinsing action.
Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with
same action as for cleaning.
You can also stop detergent from flowing by simply
removing siphon from bottle.
HOW TO STOP YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
• Move the Throttle Control Lever to the ‘Slow’ position

Slow
• Wait for the engine to idle down.
• Move the Throttle Control Lever to the ‘Stop’ position.
• Simply shutting off the engine wiil not release
pressure In the system. Squeeze trigger on the
spray gun to relieve pressure in the hose.
Note: A small amount of water will squirt out when
you release the pressure.
Stop
BEFORE STARTING THE PRESSURE WASHER
To operate the engine you will need to do the following:
ENGINE OIL
• A 20 oz. bottle of SAE 30 weight oil is included in the
parts carton. Fill engine crankcase with recommended
oil until oil level is at FULL point on dipstick. Do not
overfill above that mark. POUR SLOWLY.
Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.) improve
starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will
result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to
avoid possible damage from running low on oil.
• Place pressure washer on a level surface
• Clean area around oil fill and remove oil dipstick.
• Wipe dipstick clean.
• Pour oil from enclosed bottle into the oil fill opening
until oil reaches FULL mark on the dipstick. Stop and
check the oil level periodically. DO NOT OVERFILL.
• Install oil dipstick, hand tighten securely.
ADD GASOLINE
WARNING NEVER fill fuel tank indoors.
NEVER fill fuel tank when engine is running
or hot. DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke
when filling the fuel tank.
CAUTION: Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Always leave room for expansion.
• Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the pressure
washer engine. Regular leaded gasoline may also be
used if UNLEADED is not available. Fuel tank capaci
ty is 1.6 U.S. quart.
IMPORTANT: 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 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. See “Storage" on page 13. Never use engine
or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or perma
nent damage may occur.
• Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
• Add “UNLEADED” regular gasoline, slowly, to fuel
tank.
• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.

handle about 6 times. This should remove most of the
liquid in the pump.
Coil the high pressure hose and inspect it for damage.
Cuts in the hose or fraying of it could result in leaks
and loss of pressure. Should any damage be found,
replace the hose. DO NOT attempt to repair a dam
aged hose. Replace the hose with the genuine
Craftsman part.
Drain water from hose and properly hang it on the
wire support provided on the guide handie.
DANGER: NEVER store engine with fuel in
tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilat
ed areas where fumes may reach an open
flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace,
water heater, clothes dryer or other gas
appliance.
• Store in a clean, dry area.
________________________
WINTER STORAGE
CAUTION: You must protect your unit
from freezing temperatures. Failure to do so
will permanently damage your pump and
render your unit inoperable.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
• Draw windshield washer fluid into the pump by pour
ing the washer fluid into a 3-foot section of garden
hose connected to the inlet adapter and pulling the
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 fil
ter, 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 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. Follow these
instructions;
PROTECT FUEL SYSTEM
DANGER: Drain fuel into approved con
tainer outdoors, away from o^n flame. Be
sure engine is cool. Do not smoke.
• Remove all gasoline from the fuel tank to prevent gum
deposits from forming on these parts and causing pos
sible malfunction of engine.
• Run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel. Make
sure you have water supply to pump inlet connected
and turned ON.
CHANGE OIL
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill
with recommended grade. (See Changing Oil Level on
Page 11.)
OIL CYLINDER BORE
• Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15ml)
of engine oil into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole
CAUTION: Avoid spray from spark plug
hole when cranking engine slowly.
with rag. Crank slowly to distribute oil.
• Install spark plug. Do not connect spark plug wire.
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give
protection from dust and dirt. BE SURE TO EMPTY
THE FUEL TANK.
• Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that
does not retain moisture.
IMPORTANT: NEVER cover your pressure washer while
engine and exhaust area are warm.
