In some areas, it is illegal to operate an engine without a spark arrester. Check local laws and regulations, A spark arrester is available from your nearest Sears service center. If you need to order a spark arrester, please call 1-800-366-PART, The spark arrester must be serviced every 50 hours to keep it functioning as designed. If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Allow the muffler to cool before servicing spark arrester. M WARNING MPHPt ■H riuMimig engines proa TemDerature of muffler anc mm m Combustible debris, such as leaves, g brush, etc. can catch fire. DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Allow equipment to cool before touching. The pressure washer must be at least 5 feet from structures having combustible walls and/or other combustible materials. Keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of pressure washer for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing. In the State of California a spark arrester is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. If you equip the muffler with a spark arrester, it must be maintained in effective working order. • Remove spark arrester screen for cleaning and inspection, • Replace if screen is damaged, 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 an authorized Sears service dealer clean the cooling system per recommended intervals (see “Maintenance Schedule” on page 13), Equally important is to keep top of engine free from debris. See "Clean Debris”, Keep areas within heavy line clear of debris. Clean Combustion Chamber We recommend you have an authorized Sears service dealer remove combustion deposits from the cylinder, cylinder head, top of piston and around valves per recommended intervals (see “Maintenance Schedule” on page 13), 16 STORAGE 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 siphoning tube by placing the filter into a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in low pressure mode. Flush for one to two minutes. Shut off engine, let it cool, then remove all hoses. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug. Empty pump of all liquids by pulling recoil handle about 8 times. This should remove most liquid in pump. If storing for more than 30 days see “Long Term Storage” on next page. Coil high pressure hose and inspect it for damage. Cuts in hose or fraying could result in leaks and loss of pressure. Should any damage be found, replace hose, DO NOT attempt to repair a damaged hose. Replace hose with genuine Sears 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 hose. Reconnect spark plug wire to spark plug. Store unit in a clean, dry area. WARNING 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. WHEN DRAINING FUEL • Turn pressure washer OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank. • Drain fuel tank outdoors. • Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources. • DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke. WINTER STORAGE CAUTION You must protect your unit from freezing i 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, Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing filter into a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in low pressure mode. Flush for one to two minutes, 2, Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil handle about 6 times. This should remove most liquid in pump, 3, Use pump saver, available at Sears retail item 71-74403, to treat pump. This minimizes freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals, 4, 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. 17 LONG TERM STORAGE If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than 30 days, you must prepare the engine and pump for long term storage. It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic ga...
