Starting; How To Stop; Siphoning - Craftsman 580.768110 Operator's Manual

TO START YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
• Place the pressure washer in an area close enough
to an outside water source that can flow at a rate of
at least 2 gallons per minute. Connect a garden
hose to the water spout.
• Check that the high pressure hose is tightly
connected to the spray gun and to the pump. See
ASSEMBLY section on page 4 for illustrations.
• Check inlet screen on the water inlet. If the screen
is dirty, clean before attaching a garden hose. If the
screen is damaged, do not connect to the garden
hose. Replace with screen provided in maintenance
kit or call 1-800-366-PART to order a replacement
inlet screen.
• Attach the the garden hose to the water inlet.
• Turn on the water.
A ARNING! Do not run pump without the water supply connected and turned on. You must
follow this warning or the pump will be
damaged.
• Remove the adjustable nozzle extension from the
spray gun.
• Pull the trigger on the spray gun and hold until a
steady stream of water appears.
• Engage the safety latch on the spray gun.
• Attach adjustable nozzle extension onto spray gun.
• Move the throttle control lever to the "Fast"
position.

Note: For a recently run engine, be sure the throttle
control is in the =Fast" position and the choke is in the
=Run" position.
• Grasp rope handle and pull slowly until you feel
some resistance. Then pull cord rapidly to
overcome compression, prevent kickback and start
the engine. Let rope return to starter slowly,
Note: Always keep the Throttle Control Lever in the
'Fast' position when operating the pressure washer.
• When the engine starts, gradually move the Choke
Lever from one position to the next until it is in the
"Run" position.
Note: If'after 3 pulls the engine fails to start, move the
Choke Lever to the 'Run' position, pull trigger on gun
to relieve pressure, reengage safety latch, and pull the
recoil starter handle rapidly (Max. 3 pulls).
HOW TO STOP YOUR PRESSURE
WASHER
• Move the Run/Stop Lever to the 'Stop' position.
• Simply shutting off the engine will not release
pressure in the system. Squeeze tdgger on the
spray gun to relieve pressure in the hose.
Note: A small amount of water will squid out when
you release the pressure.
• SIPHONING
We recommend that you DO NOT siphon standing
water for your water supply. Contaminated, brackish or
dirty water can damage the pump. Connect only to
household water supply.
TIPS
• Never use the garden hose inlet to siphon
detergent or wax.
• If you have the spray nozzle tee far away, the
cleaning will not be as effective.
• Set the choke lever to "Choke" position.
