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 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.
Keep areas within heavy line clear of debris.
Battery Maintenance
Other than float charging, described elsewhere, no
maintenance is required for the starting battery. Keep the
battery and terminals clean and dry.
IMPORTANT: Battery charging should be performed in a dry
location, such as inside a garage.
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.
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.
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. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about 6 times. This should remove most liquid in
pump.
4. Coil high pressure hose on hose wrap provided on
accessory tray.
5. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
6. 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.
