Winter Storage; After Each Use - Crafstman 580.752060 Instrucciones De Uso

AFTER EACH USE

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and
"freeze" pump action. Follow these procedures after every
use:
1. Flush detergent system by turning its detergent shut-off
valve to "Off" position and run pressure washer with
black detergent spray tip. Flush for one to two minutes.
2. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun in a
safe direction and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped
pressure, engage trigger lock on spray gun and let
engine cool.
The high pressure stream of water that this equipment
produces can cut through skin and its underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected, which
can cause injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red button
and squeeze spray gun trigger, to release high pressure, every
time you stop engine.
3. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure
outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, gun, and nozzle
extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.
4. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about 6 times. This should remove most liquid in
pump.
5. Coil high pressure hose and properly hang it on hook
provided on handle.
6. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
7. If storing for more than 30 days see Long Term Storage
on next page.
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes
dryers, or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition
source because they can ignite fuel vapors.

WINTER STORAGE

You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.
• Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and
render your unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1. Empty cleaning tank as follows:
a. Disconnect hose connected to injection fitting on
pump. Place end of hose into suitable container.
b. Rotate detergent shut-off valve to "On" position and
open the tanks cover. Gravity will empty tank
contents into container.
c. Reconnect hose to injection fitting on pump. Add
0.5 quart of clean fresh water to cleaning tank and
close tank cover.
2. Flush cleaning system by turning detergent shut-off
valve to "On" position and run pressure washer with
black detergent spray tip. Flush until cleaning tank is
empty. Turn its detergent shut-off valve to "Off" position.
3. Follow steps 2-5 in the previous section After Each Use.
4. Use pump saver, available at Sears retail item
7174403GS, to treat pump. This minimizes freeze
damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
5. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3-foot section
of garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour
RV–antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into hose. Pull
recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3-foot hose.
6. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
