Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil handle about 6 times, This should remove most of the

liquid in the pump.

Coi! 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,

LONG TERM STORAGE

WARNING: Never store engine with fuel in A 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.

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 carburetor, fuet fil-

ter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called "gasohor'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.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be

emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Follow these instructions:

Protect Fuel System: Engines stored over 30 days need to be protected or drained of fuel to prevent gum deposits from forming in fuel system or on essential carburetor parts.

•For engine protection use a fuel stabilizer. Mix stabiliz- er with fuel in fue! tank and run engine for short time to circulate stabilizer through carburetor.

•Turn the fuel valve off and run engine until engine it 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.

Oil Cylinder Bore: Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15ml) 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.
