Checklist Before Starting Engine - Craftsman 580.752211 Operator's Manual

High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum 85 octane
/ 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To remain emissions
compliant, high altitude adjustment is required. Operation without
this adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased fuel
consumption, and increased emissions. See a qualified Sears
dealer for high altitude adjustment information. Operation of the
engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high
altitude kit is not recommended.
Connect Hose and Water Supply to Pump
NOTICE: DO NOT run the pump without the water supply
connected and turned on.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
NOTE: Remove and discard the shipping caps from the pump's
high pressure outlet and water inlet before attaching hoses.
1. Uncoil high pressure hose and attach one end of hose to
base of spray gun. Tighten by hand.
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.
• NEVER connect high pressure hose to nozzle extension.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• Always be certain spray gun, nozzles and accessories are
correctly attached.
2. Attach other end of high pressure hose to high pressure
outlet on pump. Tighten by hand.
3. Before connecting garden hose to water inlet, inspect
inlet screen (A). Clean screen if it contains debris or have
it replaced if damaged. DO NOT run pressure washer if
inlet screen is damaged or missing.
4. Run water through garden hose for 30 seconds to flush
it of debris. Turn off water.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT siphon standing water for the water
supply. Use ONLY cold water (less than 100°F).
NOTICE: Using a One Way Valve (vacuum breaker or check
valve) at pump inlet can cause pump or inlet connector
damage.
• There MUST be at least ten feet of unrestricted garden hose
between the pressure washer inlet and any device, such as a
vacuum breaker or check valve.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
5. Connect garden hose (not to exceed 50 feet in length) to
water inlet. Tighten by hand.
