Craftsman 580.752310 - Manual (Page 11)

Twisting nozzie adjusts spray pattern from a
narrow pattern to a fan pattern.
Twist nozzle counter­
clockwise for fan pattern.
Twist nozzle clockwise for
narrow spray pattern.
4. For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzie
from 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.
5. If you get spray nozzle too dose, especially using
high pressure mode, you may damage the surface
being cleaned.
6. DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning
tires.
Applying Detergent with Adjustable Nozzle
IMPORTANT: Use chemicals designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could
damage the pump.
CAUTION
u must attach all hoses before you start the engine.
Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and
without the water turned ON will damage the pump.
To apply detergent, follow these steps;
1. Review use of adjustable nozzie.
2. Prepare detergent solution as required by job.
3. Place filter end of detergent siphoning tube into
detergent container.
CAUTION
When inserting the filter into a detergent solution bottle,
route the tube so as to keep if from inadvertently
contacting the hot muffler.
4. Slide adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure
mode. Detergent cannot be applied with nozzle in
high pressure position.
5. Make sure garden hose is connected to water
inlet. Check that high pressure hose is connected
to spray gun and pump. Start engine.
6. Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting from the
bottom and working up.
7. Allow detergent to "soak in” for 3-5 minutes before
rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent surface
from drying.
8. For washing, start at lower portion of area to be
washed and work upward, using long, even,
overlapping strokes.
IMPORTANT: You must flush the chemical injection
system after each use by placing the filter into a clean
bucket of water and running the pressure washer in
low pressure for 1-2 minutes.
Pressure Washer Rinsing
For Rinsing:
1. Slide nozzle backward to high pressure, press
trigger and wait for detergent to clear.
NOTE: You can also stop detergent flow by removing
detergent siphoning tube from container.
2. Keep spray gun a safe distance from area you
plan to spray.
^ WARNING
High pr pray couia cau
Keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from
cleaning surface.
Operate this unit on a stable surface.
Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure
washer from a ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively
unstable location.
Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high
pressure spray to avoid injury if gun kicks back.
3. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area, then
check surface for damage. If no damage is found,
it is okay to continue cleaning.
4. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down
with same overlapping strokes as you used for
washing and applying detergent.
Automatic Cool Down System
(Thermal Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray
gun, circulating water in the pump can reach
temperatures above 125°F. The system engages to
cool the pump by discharging the warm water onto
the ground.
