Craftsman 580.76804 manual After Each USE, Long Term Storage, Other, Protect Fuel System

AFTER EACH USE

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:

•Flush the chemical system by selecting the System Rinse tank and run the cleaning system with nozzle in low pressure mode. Flush for one minute or until the chemical is cleared from the system.

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 with the engine control switch in the "Off" position. This should remove most of the liquid in the pump.

•Rotate the Dial-A-Cleaner TM selector knob to the

OFF position.

•Coil the high pressure hose and inspect it for damage. Cuts in the hose or fraying could result in leaks and loss of pressure. Should any damage be found, replace the hose. DO NOT attempt to repair a damaged hose. Replace the hose with the genuine Craftsman part.

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

•Store system in a clean, dry area.

	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

permanently damage your pump and render your unit inoperable.

To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:

•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'scover. 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 cover.

•Flush t_le chemical system by selecting a tank and run the cleaning system 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-fcot section of garden hose to the inlet adapter. Pour RV-Antlfreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into the hose. Pull the recoil handle twice.

LONG TERM STORAGE

If you do not plan to use the cleaning system 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, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blendedfuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids

dudng 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 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 tumed ON.

Change Oil

While engine is stilt warm, drain oil from crankcase.

Refill with recommended grade. (See Changing Oil)

Oil Cylinder Bore

•,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.

•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.
