BEFORE STARTING THE CLEANING
SYSTEM
To operate the engine you will need to do the following:
Add Engine Oil
Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classification SF or SG. Select the oil’s SAE
viscosity grade according to your expected OF>erating
temperature:
colder m ■— 32“F > warmer
-HI
5W30
Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30,10W30, etc.)
improve starting in cold weaker, 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 system on a level surface
• Clean area around oil fill and remove oil dipstick.
• Pour oil from enclosed bottle into the oil fill opening
until oil reaches the full mark on the oil dipstick.
Stop and check the oil level periodically. Do not
overfill,
• Install oil dipstick, hand tighten securely.
----
SAE 30
Add Gasoline
• Use regular unleaded gasoline with the cleaning
system engine. Fuel tank capacity is 3 U.S. quarts.
DANGER: Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill
fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not
A
smoke when filling fuel tank.
CAUTION: Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always
A
A
leave room for expansion.
CAUTION: Experience indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using 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.
Page 8
To add fuel to engine:
• Clean area around fuel cap, remove cap.
• Add regular unleaded gasoline, slowly, to the fuel
tank.
Important: Never mix oil with gasoline.
• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
TO START THE CLEANING SYSTEM
The best way to start your cleaning system engine for
the first time is to follow these instructions step-by
step. This starting information also applies whenever
you start the engine after you have let the cleaning
system sit idle for at least a day.
• Place the cleaning system in an area close enough
to an outside water source that can flow at a, rate of
at least 3 gallons per minute. Connect a garden
hose to the water spout.
• Check that the high pressure hose is tightly
connected to the spray gun and to the pump. See
ASSEMBLY section on page^4.
• Check inlet screen on the water inlet. If the screen
is dirty, clean before attaching a garden hose, if the
screen is damaged, do not connect to the garden
hose. Replace with screen provided in maintenance
kit or call 1 -800-366-PART to order a replacement
inlet screen.
• Attach the the garden hose to the water inlet.

some resistance. Then pull cord rapidly to
overcome compression, prevent kickback and start
the engine. Let rope return to starter slowly.
Note: The Pressure Command'^“ may be placed in
any position during starting or operation.
• When engine starts, move choke lever to “1/2
CHOKE” until engine runs smoothly and then to
“NO CHOKE POSITION.” If engine falters, move
choke lever to “1/2 CHOKE” until engine runs
smoothly and then to “NO CHOKE POSITION.”
Note: If the engine falls to start after 3 pulls, move
choke lever to “NO CHOKE POSITION” and pull
starter rope again. ’
Note: If engine fires, but does not continue to run,
move choke lever to “FULL CHOKE” and repeat *
starting instructions.
• Once the engine has started, disengage the spray
gun safety latch.
HOW TO STOP YOUR PRESSURE
WASHER
Important: Do not run pump without the water supply
connected and turned on. You must follow this caution
or the pump wilt be damaged.
• Move the Run/Stop switch to the “0” or OFF
position.
■ Simply shutting off the engine will 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.
• Rotate the Dial-A-Cieaner™ selector knob to the
OFF position to prevent chemical leakage.

a damaged hose. Replace the hose with the
genuine Craftsman part.
Drain water from hose and properly hang it on the
wire support provided.
Store system in a clean, dry area.
DANGER: Never store the engine with fuel in
A
the gas tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly
ventilated areas where fumes may reach an
open flame, a spark, or pilot light.
WINTER STORAGE
CAUTION: You must protect your unit from
freezing temperatures. Failure to do so will
A
permanently damage your pump and render
your unit inoperable.
• Flush the chemical system by selecting a tank and
run the Pressure Washer with nozzle in low
pressure mode. Flush until each tank is empty, then
switch the selector knob to the next tank. The last
tank to be emptied must be the System Rinse tank.
• Connect a 3-foot section of garden hose to the inlet
adapter. Pour RV-Antifreeze (antifreeze without
alcohol) into the hose. Pull 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.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the catburetor, 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.
Protect Fuel System
DANGER: Drain fuel into approved container
outdoors, away from open flame. Be sure
A
engine is cool. Do not smoke.
• Remove all gasoline from the fuel tank to prevent
gum deposits from forming on these parts and
causing possible 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)
Oil Cylinder Bote
• Remove spark plug. Squirt about 1 ounce (30 ml) of
engine oil into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole
with rag. Crank engine slowly to distribute oil.
To protect the unit from freezing temp^etures:
• Empty all chemical reservoirs as follows:
a. Disconnect hose connected to chemical inject
fitting on the pump. Place end of hose into
suitable container.
b.
Move the selector knob to Tank A and open
that tank’s cover. Gravity should shortly empty
the tank contents into the container.
c.
When the tank is empty, repeat step (b) for
tanks B and C.
d.
Reconnect the hose to the chemical inject
fitting on the pump. Add 0.5 liter of clean fresh
water to each tank and close tank’s covers.
CAUTION: Avoid spray from spark plug hole
when cranking engine.
A
• Install spark plug. Do not connect spark plug wire.
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to
give protection from dust and dirt. BE SURE TO
EMPTY THE FUEL TANK.
IMPORTANT: NEVER cover your cleaning system
while engine and exhaust area are warm.
