Craftsman 580.76225 Before Startingthe Pressurewasher, Engine OIL, Not Overfill, ADD Gasoune

BEFORE STARTINGTHE PRESSUREWASHER

To operatethe 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 fill above that mark. About 20 ounces is required. POUR SLOWLY.

Note: When adding oil to the engine crankcase in the future, use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service classification SF and SG rated SAE 30 weight.

Use no special additives.

Select the oil'sviscosity grade according to your expect- ed operating temperature.

I

I	colder	_	32°F _	warmer
		5W30		SAE 30

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. Oil sump capacity is 20 ounces.

•Place pressure washer on a level surface

•Clean area around oil fill and remove oil dipstick.

•Wipe dipstick clean.

Pour oil from the enclosed bottle into the oil fill open-

ing until oil reaches FULL mark on the dipstick.DO

NOT OVERFILL.

•Install oil dipstick, hand tighten securely.

ADD GASOUNE

A 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.

A 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 U.S. quart.

IMPORTANT: It is importantto prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor,fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicatesthat 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 15. Never use engine or carburetorcleaner productsin 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.
