Add Engine Oil - Craftsman 580.752870 Manual Del Operador

Add Engine Oil

1. Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill cap /
dipstick.
3. Hold neck of supplied oil pouch and remove cap.
4. Slowly pour contents of oil pouch into oil fill opening.
Checking oil level frequently, fill to FULL mark (top hole)
on dipstick.
NOTICE Pause to permit oil to settle. Wipe dipstick clean
each time oil level is checked. DO NOT overfill.
NOTICE Improper treatment of pressure washer could
damage it and shorten its life.
• DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been
properly serviced with the recommended oil. This could result in
an engine failure.
5. Replace oil fill cap/dipstick and fully tighten.
Add Fuel
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). For high
altitude use, see High Altitude.
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable.
NOTICE Use of unapproved fuels could damage generator
and voids warranty.
• DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E15 and E85.
• DO NOT mix oil in gasoline or modify engine to run on alternate fuels.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable
and explosive which could cause burns,
fire or explosion resulting in death or
serious injury.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
• Turn pressure washer engine OFF (0) and let it cool at least 2
minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve
pressure in tank.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for cracks or
leaks. Replace if necessary.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel
stabilizer when adding fuel. See Storage. All fuel is not the
same. If you experience starting or performance problems
after using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or change
brands. This engine is certified to operate on gasoline.
The emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine
Modifications).
1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add regular unleaded fuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be
careful not to overfill. To allow for fuel expansion, do not
fill above the bottom of the fuel tank neck.

3. Install fuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.
CAUTION!
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 avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be treated
with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. If adding a fuel preserver, fill the fuel tank with fresh
fuel. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. If fuel preserver is not used,
drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
See Storage for additional information.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damage may occur.
High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 ft. (1524 m), a minimum 85 octane /
85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To remain emissions
compliant, high altitude adjustment is required. Operation
without this adjustment will cause decreased performance,
increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions. See a
qualified Sears dealer for high altitude adjustment information.
Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 ft. (762 m)
with the high altitude kit is not recommended.
