Craftsman 580.762010 - Manual (Page 8)

WARNING Be extremely careful rf you
must use the pressure washer from ladder,
scaffolding or any other relatively unstable
location. Pressure in a running washer builds
in the wand as you climb. When you press
the trigger, the recoil from the initial spray
could force you to fall, or if you are too close
to the cleaning surface, high pressure could
force you off a climbing apparatus.
.RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER
* Hook up the water supply and start your pressure
washer {see TO START THE PRESSURE WASHER).
* Slide adjustable nozzle back to high pressure position
and wait for detergent to clear. Detergent will not flow
when in the high pressure mode.
* When detergent has cleared you may want to expand
the spray pattern for a more gentle rinsing action. Start
at top of area to be rinsed, working down with same
action as for cleaning.
You can also stop detergent from flowing by simply
removing the siphon from bottle.
HOW TO ADJUST PRESSURE USING THE
PRESSURE CONTROL KNOB
Located on the pump is a pressure control knob. You can
increase and decrease the pressure of the spray by turn­
ing the knob clockwise or counterclockwise respectively.
The knob is set at maximum pressure at the factory.
HOW TO USE THE TURBO NOZZLE.
The turbo nozzle rotates the high pressure stream in a
rapid circular pattern. This increases the cleaning effec­
tiveness of the high pressure spray. Attach the turbo
nozzle on the end of the nozzle extension.
The high pressure spray is most effective when the tip of
the wand is held between 8 to 24 inches from the surface
being cleaned.
Important: The turbo nozzle produces an extremely
high pressure spray which is capable of removing paint
and cutting holes through cleaning surfaces if held too
close. Always make sure the surface you clean will not
be damaged by the high pressure spray.
CHOKE ROD
ENGINE OPERATION
STARTING THE ENGINE
• To start a cold
engine, pull the
choke rod to the
CLOSED position.
• To restart a warm
engine, leave the
choke rod in the
OPEN position.
• To restart an engine
that has just been
refueled, pull the
choke rod to the
CLOSED position.
The engine used in the pressure washer is a fixed-speed
engine, utilizing an Ignition Switch Lever.
IGNmON SWrrCH LEVER
OFF
Move the ignition switch lever to the ON position.
Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance,
then pull briskly.
• Return the starter grip gently.
• if the choke rod was pulled to the CLOSED position
to start the engine, push it to OPEN position as soon
as the engine warms up enough to run smoothly.
(See illustration above)
STOPPING THE ENGINE
• Move the ignition switch lever to the OFF position.
