Craftsman 580.763000 - Manual (Page 10)

Connect the garden hose tightly to water inlet opening
on the pressure washer pump and turn the water ON.
Be sure fuel shut-off valve is open.
Set RUN/STOP switch to RUN position.
Squeeze trigger on pressure washer wand to relieve
the 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.
Engage safety latch on spray gun to the ON position.
This disables the trigger so you cannot inadvertently
actuate a high pressure spray.
Press the primer bulb three (3) times.
Turn pressure contro! knob counterclockwise, two turns
from maximum pressure.
Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until you feel
resistance. Then pull rapidly three (3) times.
• If engine fails to start, repeat the priming process and
press the trigger to relieve water pressure then pull
starter handle slowly until you again feel resistance
and then pull rapidly up to three (3) times.
NOTE: A small amount of water will squirt out when you
release the pressure.
• Allow engine to run for two minutes before using,
IMPORTANT: An internal thermal relief valve has a maxi­
mum temperature setting of lAO^F (60°C). If you run the
pump for 5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the
spray gun, 1/2 to 1 ounce of water is released through the
valve to cool the unit. The small amount of water will drip
out the bottom of pump.
LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTDOWN SYSTEM
The engine is equipped with a low oil pressure sensor
that shuts down the engine automatically when the oil
pressure drops below 6 psi. If the engine shuts down by
itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline, check
engine oil level.

INITIAL STARTUP
A delay built in the low oil shutdown system allows oil
pressure to build during starting. The delay allows the
engine to run for about 10 seconds before sensing oil
pressure.
SENSING LOW PRESSURE
If the system senses low oil pressure during operation,
the engine shuts down. As the system shuts down, the
low oil light comes ON. However, once the engine has _
stopped rotating, this light will go OFF.
'
RESTARTING
If you try to restart the engine within 10 seconds after it
shuts down, the engine may NOT start. The system
needs 5 to 10 seconds to reset.
If you do restart the engine after such a shutdown and
have not corrected the low oil pressure, the engine runs
for about 10 seconds as described above and then stops,
SIPHONING
We recommend that you DO NOT siphon your water sup­
ply. Connect only to household water supply.
TIPS
• Never use the garden hose inlet to siphon detergent or
wax.
• If you have the spray nozzle too far away, the cleaning
will not be as effective.
