ready for use only after it has been properly serviced
with the recommended oil and fuel.
If you have any problems with the assembly of
your pressure washer, please call the pressure

in an engine failure.

ASSEMBLING YOUR PRESSURE
WASHER
Your Craftsman high pressure washer was mostly
assembled at the factory. However, you will need to
perform these tasks before you can operate your
pressure washer:
• Attach hose reel.
• Add oil to engine crankcase.
• Add fuel to fuel tank.
• Connect high pressure hose to the spray gun and
the pump.
• Connect water supply to the pump.
Assembling Hose Reel
IMPORTANT: You must take the hose off the reel
when operating your high pressure washer. The reel is
for storage purposes only.
• Attach the handle to the reel with Iocknuts, flat
washers, and bolts as shown.
• Secure the hose reel to the left side upright, (from
behind the unit), with Iocknuts, flat washers, and
bolts. See page 7 for location.
