Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time. Sediments of minerals can deposit on pump parts and "freeze" pump action. Follow these procedures after every

use:

oFlush 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.

=Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil handle about 6 times_ This should remove most of the liquid in the pump,

oCoil 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 damaged hose and use it. Replace the hose with the genuine Crafts- man part.

Drain water from hose and properly hang it on the wire support provided on the guide handle.

NOTE; To protect the unit from freezing temperatures, you can draw windshield washer fluid into the pump by pouring the washer fluid into a 3-foot section of garden hose con-

nected to the inlet adaptor and pulling the recoil handle twice.

LONG TERM STORAGE

,_ WARNING: NEVER STORE ENGINE WITH FUELIN TANK INDOORS OR IN ENCLOSED, POORLY VEN-

TILATED AREAS WHERE FUMES MAY REACH AN OPEN FLAMEp 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.

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 filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, 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_

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 stabilizer with fuel in fuel tank and run engine for short time to circulate stabilizer through carburetor_

=If you did use "gasohol", 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,

Oil Cylinder Bore: Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15mi) of engine oil into the cylinder, Cover spark plug hole with rag_ Crank slowly to distribute oilo
