Air Cooling System
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling
fins and cannot be observed without partial engine
disassembly. For this reason, we recommend you
have a qualified Sears service dealer clean the cooling
system per recommended intervals (see Maintenance
Schedule). Equally important is to keep top of engine
free from debris. See Clean Debris.
Carburetor Adjustment
The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is
equipped with a non-adjustable idle mixture valve.
Top speed has been set at the factory. If adjustment is
required, see an authorized service dealer.
CAUTION Excessively high operating speeds
could result in minor injury.
Excessively low operating speeds impose a heavy
load.
• DO NOT tamper with governor spring, links or other
parts to increase engine speed. Pressure washer
supplies correct rated pressure and flow when running at
governed speed.
• DO NOT modify pressure washer in any way.
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. Shut OFF engine, turn off water supply, point gun
in a safe direction, press red button and squeeze
trigger to relieve trapped pressure and let engine
cool.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water
that this equipment produces could cut
through skin and its underlying tissues,
resulting in serious injury and possible
amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected, which
could result in serious 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.
2. 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.
3. Place the spray gun and nozzle extension in the
accessory tray. Hang high pressure hose on hook
attached to accessory tray.
4. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about 6 times. This should remove most
liquid in pump.
5. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
6. If storing for more than 30 days see Long Term
Storage on next page.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive which
could cause burns, fire or explosion
resulting in death or serious injury.
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 could ignite fuel vapors.
