Craftsman 919.679180 - Manual (Page 9)

Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. If
mleaded fuel is unavailable leaded fuel may be used.
IMPORTANT; It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as
the carburetor, fuel filter hose or tank during storage.
Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and forma­
tion of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid
engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
before storage of 30 days or longer. Never use engine
or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
A CAUTION: Never start pressure washer without
water source turned on and connected to
pressure washer. Failure to do so will cause
pump damage.
To Start Your Pressure Washer
• Remove gas cap.
• Add unleaded gasoline, slowly, to fuel tank.
• Do not overfill.
• Squeeze trigger on pressure washer wand to relieve
air pressure caused by turning on the water. Water
will spew out of the gun in a thin stream. This will
make it easier to start the engine.
Engage the safety latch on the spray gun. This locks
the trigger in place and keeps you from accidentally
spraying a high pressure stream.
SAFETY
LATCH
• On the engine there is a choke/run lever. Place lever
to the choke position.
On the engine there is a throttle control lever. Place
throttle to the rabbit position. Always start engine
with throttle in the rabbit (high speed) position.
Connect garden hose to the water inlet on the
pressure washer. Tighten by turning counterclock­
wise.
PUMP
INLET
Connect high pressure hose to discharge on pump.
Connect the garden hose to the water spout and turn
water supply on.
CHOKE.
• Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until resistance
is felt,then pull firmly to start engine.
NOTE: If engine does not start right away, squeeze the
trigger on the gun to relieve air pressure caused by
turning on the water. Water will spew out of the gun in a
thin stream. This will make it easier to pull start the
engine. If more than five pulls, place choke level back to
run position.
• When engine starts, gradually move choke lever to
RUN position.

• For hot engine restarts, make sure throttle is in the
rabbit (high speed) position and the choke lever is in
the RUN position.
• Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until resistance
is felt, then pull firmly to start engine.
