AFTER EACH USE
Water should not remain in _e unit for longperiods of time. Sediments of minerafs can deposit on pump parts and "freeze" pump action. Follow _ese procedures after every
use:
•Flush detergent hose by placing the injectorfilter 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.
A CAUTION: Be sure throttle lever is in "STOP" position before you continue. If you start engine without the proper water supply connected, you can damage the pump.
Empty the pump of all pumped Iiquids by pulling recoil handle about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid in the pump.
Coil 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.
•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 pour- ing the washer fluid into a
connected to the inlet adaptor and pulling the recoil han- dle twice.
