After Each Use; Winter Storage - Craftsman 580.752342 Instrucciones De Uso

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 and squeeze trigger to relieve
trapped pressure, engage
trigger
lock on spray gun
and let engine cool.
WARNING
Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray
gun while system is pressurized.
ALWAYS point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray
gun trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop
engine. Engage trigger lock when not in use.
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.

WINTER STORAGE
CAUTION
• Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump
and render your unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1. Follow steps 1-7 in the previous section "After
Each Use".
2. Use pump saver, available at Sears retail item
71-74403, to treat pump. This minimizes freeze
damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
3. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3-foot
section of garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour
RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into
hose. Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3-foot
hose.
4. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
