Your Craftsman pressure washer was mostly assembled
at the factory. However, you will need to perform these
tasks before you can operate your pressure washer:

2. Add fuel to fuel tank.
3. Connect high pressure hose to spray gun and pump.
4. Connect water supply to pump.
5. Select/attach quick connect spray tip to nozzle
extension.

IMPORTANT: Any attempt to crank or start the engine
before it has been properly serviced with the
recommended oil may result in an engine failure.

only high quality detergent oil rated with API service

STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE
The use of multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)
in temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in higher
than normal oil consumption. When using a multi­
viscosity oil, check oil more frequently.
** If using SAE 30 oil in temperatures below 40°F
(4°C), it will result in hard starting and possible
engine bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.
2. Place pressure washer on a level surface and
clean area around oil fill.
Remove dipstick and wipe clean with cloth.
