Assembly - Craftsman C950.672150 Operator's Manual

Add Fuel
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable
and explosive which could cause burns,
fire or explosion resulting in death,
serious injury and/or property damage.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
• Turn pressure washer engine OFF and let it cool at least 2
minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve
pressure in tank.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for cracks or
leaks. Replace if necessary.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a minimum
of 86 octane with equipment. DO NOT mix oil with fuel.
2. Place pressure washer on a level surface. Clean area
around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
3. Slowly add regular unleaded fuel to bottom of fuel level
limit in neck of fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill.
4. Install fuel cap and allow any spilled fuel to evaporate
before starting engine.
CAUTION!
Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the
fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the fuel tank, start
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are
empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage for additional
information.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damage may occur.
Lubricate O-Rings
Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation
and operation. The use of a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic
grease) during assembly helps seat o-rings properly and
provides an improved seal. It also helps protect the o-ring
from damage by abrasion, pinching or cutting and extends
the life of the o-ring.
NOTICE ALWAYS apply a small amount of lubricant on
o-rings prior to assembling the garden hose to the pump (A),
high pressure hose (B), spray gun (C), and nozzle
extension (D).
Lubricate all connections shown below, following these
instructions:
1. Inspect and clean connecting surfaces prior to
lubrication and assembly.
2. Use lubricants sparingly during assembly; a light film is
all that is required.
3. Use a small brush or cotton swab to apply grease
directly to o-rings where they are not accessible (QC
fitting, M22 fitting).
