After Each Use - Craftsman 580.752150 Manual Del Operador

AFTER EACH USE

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and
"freeze" pump action. Follow these procedures after every
use:
1. Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter into
a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in
low pressure mode. Flush for one to two minutes.
2. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun in a
safe direction, press red button and squeeze trigger to
relieve trapped pressure, and let engine cool.
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected,
which can cause injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red button
and squeeze spray gun trigger, to release high pressure, every
time you stop engine.
3. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure
outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, gun, and nozzle
extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.
4. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about 6 times. This should remove most liquid in
pump.
5. Coil high pressure hose and properly hang it on hook
provided on accessory tray.
6. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
7. If storing for more than 30 days see Long Term Storage
on next page.
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.

death.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes
dryers, or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition
source because they can ignite fuel vapors.
