Long Term Storage - Craftsman 580.752012 Instrucciones De Uso

LONG TERM STORAGE
If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more
than 30 days, you must prepare the engine and pump
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-blended fuels (called
gasohol, 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.
Protect Fuel System
Fuel Stabilizer:
Follow these instructions if storing fuel more than 30 days.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, use
Briggs & Stratton FRESH START
TM
fuel stabilizer
plus, or FRESH START
TM
continuous fuel preserver
(concentrated liquid cartridge), or FRESH START
TM
preservative & stabilizer (granular).
If fuel stabilizer is used, you do not need to drain fuel
prior to storage. If the FRESH START
TM
continuous
fuel preserver (concentrated liquid cartridge) is used,
there is no need to drain fuel prior to storage as long
as the cartridge contains stabilizer for the storage
season.
• Run engine outdoors for several minutes to be sure
treated fuel has replaced untreated fuel in
carburetor.
If fuel preserver is not used, then always remove all
fuel from tank and run engine until it stops from lack of
fuel.
Change Oil
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase.
Refill with recommended grade. See "Changing
Engine Oil" on page 15.
Oil Cylinder Bore
• Remove spark plug. Squirt about 1!2 oz. of clean
engine oil into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole
with rag. Pull recoil handle slowly to distribute oil.
Avoid spray from spark plug hole.
• Install spark plug. DO NOT connect spark plug
wire.
Protect Pump
To protect the pump use Sears pump saver to prevent
freeze damage and lubricate pistons and seals.
CAUTION
• Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump
and render your unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty,
NOTE: Sears pump saver, item number 71-74403, is
available as an optional accessory. It is not included with
the pressure washer.
CAUTION
Always wear eye protection when using PumpSaver.
To use the pump saver:
1. Attach hose on pump saver can to pump inlet.
2. Push in can top to dispense pump saver.
3. When pump saver fluid begins to exit pump outlet,
the pump is protected.
4. Remove pump saver from pump inlet.
OTHER
* DO NOT store fuel 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.
WARNING
DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot pressure
washer.
Let equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing
the cover on the equipment.
