Craftsman 580.768020 - Manual (Page 7)

A WARNING: Be extremely careful if you must
use the cleaning system from a ladder,
scaffolding or any other relatively unstable
location. When you press the trigger, the recoil
from the initial spray could force you to fall, or if
you are too close to the cleaning surface, high
pressure could force you off a climbing
apparatus.
• Start at lower portion of area to be washed and
work upward, using long, even overlapping strokes.
• Allow detergent to 'soak in’ (between 3-5 minutes)
before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to
prevent surface from drying.
*
Wash and Rinse Surface
After you have applied detergent, scour the surface
with the high pressure water stream and then rinse it
clean, as follows: -
• Pull adjustable nozzle backward to get high
pressure mode. Chemical will not flow when in the
high pressure mode.
• Expand the spray pattern for a more gentle rinsing
action. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working
down with same action as for cleaning.
A CAUTION! Test a small area of the surface to
be cleaned. Make sure there is rto damage
caused by the high pressure spray.
RINSE SYSTEM AFTER EVERY USE
It is imperative that the chemical selector system be
rinsed after each use to prevent clogging or leaks: >
• Fill the System Rinse reservoir with clean water.
• Before disconnecting the water supply, start your
cleaning system.
BEFORE STARTING THE CLEANING
SYSTEM
To operate the engine you will need to do the following:
Add Engine Oil
Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classification SF or SG. Select the oil’s SAE
viscosity grade according to your expected operating
temperature:
colder ^111 !■ 32°F ■!! » warmer
5W30 SAE 30
CAUTION: Before starting your Cleaning
System, make sure you have read and followed
the instructions in the sections "Before Starting
the Cleaning System" on page 7 and To Start
the Cleaning System” on page
8 .
Push adjustable nozzle forward to get low pressure
mode.
Rotate the Dial-A-Cleaner™ selector knob to the
letter corresponding to the System Rinse tank. As
clean rinse water is drawn through the system,
continue the flow until no detergent foam is
observed.
Rotate the Dial-A-Cleaner'^** selector knob to the
OFF position.
Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30,10W30, etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity
oils will result in increased oil consumption when used
above 32°F. Check your engine oil level more
frequently to avoid possible damage from running low
on oil.
• Place pressure washer system on a level surface
• Clean area around oil fill and remove oil dipstick.
• Wipe dipstick clean.
• Pour oil from enclosed bottle Into the oil fill opening
until oil reaches full mark on the dipstick. Stop and
check the oil level periodically. Do not overfill.
• Install oil dipstick, hand tighten securely.
Add Gasoline
• Use regular unleaded gasoline with the cieaning
system engine. Fuel tank capacity is 1 .5 U.S.
quarts.
DANGER! Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never
fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do
not smoke when filling fuel tank.
CAUTION! Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Always leave room for expansion.
CAUTION! Experience indicates that alcohoi
blended fuels (called gasohol or using 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.
To add fuel to engine:
• Clean area around fuel cap, remove cap.
• Add regular unleaded gasoline, slowly, to the fuel
tank.
Important: Never mix oil with gasoline.
• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
