helpline at 1-800-222-3136.
DANGER! NEVER adjust spray pattern
when spraying. NEVER put hands in front
of spray nozzle to adjust spray pattern.
You could be injured.
HOW TO USE THE ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE
One of the nozzles you can attach to the nozzle
extension (wand) is the adjustable nozzle. You can
slide the adjustable nozzle forward and backward to
adjust the spray pattern to be either high or low pres
sure. You can also twist the adjustable nozzle from
side to side to adjust the spray so it is concentrated in
a stream pattern or expanded into a fan pattern.
• Slide the nozzle forward to adjust the spray to low
pressure mode. Slide the nozzle backward to
achieve high pressure.
• If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially
using high pressure mode, you may damage the
cleaning surface.
APPLYING DETERGENT AND CLEANING WITH
ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could
damage 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. (For the enclosed bottles of detergent, add the
8 ounces of chemical to a 1 gallon plastic bottle
with handle (not included). Fill the rest of the bottle
with water.)
• Hang the detergent solution on the “J” hook on the
wire form on the guide handle.
• Place small fitter on the chemical injection tube
into the detergent container.
for high pressure
mode.
for low pressure
mode.
Twisting the nozzle adjusts the spray pattern from
a narrow pattern to a fan pattern.
clockwise for fan
spray pattern.
clockwise for narrow
spray pattern.
For most effective cleaning, keep the spray nozzle
between 8 to 24 inches away from the cleaning
surface.
• Slide adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure
mode. Detergent cannot be applied with nozzle
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 the surface for 3 to 5 minutes.
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,
overlapping strokes.
• Allow the detergent to soak in between 3 to 5
minutes before washing and rinsing.
Note: The second step involves cleaning the surface
you have prepared with the pressure washer and then
rinsing it clean.
WARNING Be extremely careful rf you
must use the pressure washer from ladder,
scaffolding or any other relatively unstable
location. 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.
.RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER
* 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.
ENGINE OPERATION
STARTING THE ENGINE
• To start a cold
engine, pull the
choke rod to the
CLOSED position.
• To restart a warm
engine, leave the
choke rod in the
OPEN position.
• To restart an engine
that has just been
refueled, pull the
choke rod to the
CLOSED position.
CHOKE ROD
* 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 the siphon from bottle.
HOW TO ADJUST PRESSURE USING THE
PRESSURE CONTROL KNOB
Located on the pump is a pressure control knob. You can
increase and decrease the pressure of the spray by turn
ing the knob clockwise or counterclockwise respectively.
The knob is set at maximum pressure at the factory.
HOW TO USE THE TURBO NOZZLE.
The turbo nozzle rotates the high pressure stream in a
rapid circular pattern. This increases the cleaning effec
tiveness of the high pressure spray. Attach the turbo
nozzle on the end of the nozzle extension.
The engine used in the pressure washer is a fixed-speed
engine, utilizing an Ignition Switch Lever.
IGNmON SWrrCH LEVER
OFF
Move the ignition switch lever to the ON position.
Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance,
then pull briskly.
The high pressure spray is most effective when the tip of
the wand is held between 8 to 24 inches from the surface
being cleaned.
Important: The turbo nozzle produces an extremely
high pressure spray which is capable of removing paint
and cutting holes through cleaning surfaces if held too
close. Always make sure the surface you clean will not
be damaged by the high pressure spray.
• Return the starter grip gently.
• if the choke rod was pulled to the CLOSED position
to start the engine, push it to OPEN position as soon
as the engine warms up enough to run smoothly.

NOZZLE MAINTENANCE
if the nozzle becomes restricted or clogged with foreign
materials, such as dirt, excessive pump pressure may
develop. A partially clogged nozzle can cause a pulsing
sensation during use. This generally is not pump related,
but rather due to a clogged or partially restricted nozzle.
If you feel this pulsing during use, it is recommended you
immediately clean the nozzle. Use the kit included with
your pressure washer, and follow these instructions:
• Shut off engine and turn off the water supply.
• Separate the nozzle from the nozzle extension.
• Rotate to the stream setting.
• Remove orifice from the end of the nozzle using the
alien wrench included with the kit or with a 2mm or
5/64 alien wrench.

STORAGE
AFTER EACH USE
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments of minerals can deposit on pump parts and
Ireeze" pump action. Follow these procedures after every
use;
• Flush detergent hose by placing the injector filter into
a pail of clear water while running Pressure Washer
with nozzle in low pressure mode. Flush until you can
see clear water running through the tube.
• Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove all
hoses.
CAUTION; Be sure ignition switch lever is
in “STOP” position before you continue. If
you start engine without the proper water
supply connected, you can damage the
pump.
Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
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 hose, DO NOT attempt to repair a damaged
hose. Replace hose with the genuine Craftsman part.
Drain water from hose and properly hang it on the
wire support provided on the guide handle.
Store in a clean, dry area.
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.
_______
__________
Note: To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should
be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer.
Follow these instructions:
PROTECT FUEL SYSTEM
• Remove all gasoline from the fuel tank to prevent gum
deposits from forming on these parts and causing
possible malfunction of engine.
DANGER: Drain fuel into approved con
tainer outdoors, away from open flame. Be
sure engine is cool. Do not smoke.
• Run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel. Make
sure you have water supply to pump inlet connected
and turned ON.
Note; If “Gasohol” has been used, complete above
instructions and then put 1/2 pint of unleaded gasoline
into fuel tank and repeat above instructions.
Note: Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL) is an acceptable
alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum
deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel
tank or storage container. Run engine at least 10 minutes
after adding stabilizer.
CHANGE OIL
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase, Refill
with recommended grade. (See Changing Oil Level on
Page 12.)
OIL CYLINDER BORE
• Remove spark plug and squirt about 1 ounce (30 ml)
of engine oil into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole
with rag. Crank slowly to distribute oil.
CAUTION: Avoid spray from spark plug
hole when cranking engine slowly.
CAUTION: You must protect your unit
from freezing temperatures. Failure to do so
will permanently damage your pump and
render your unit inoperable.
WINTER STORAGE
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
• Draw RV antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into
the pump by pouring 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.
• 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.
