After Each Use; Winter Storage; To Protect The Unit From Freezing Temperatures - Craftsman 580.752700 Owner's Manual

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. FolJow these
procedures after every use:

minutes.
2. Shut off engine, Jet it cool, then remove aJJhoses.
3. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark pJug.
4. Empty pump of aJJJiquids by puJJing recoil handJe
about 6 times. This should remove most liquid in
pump.
5. if storing for more than 30 days see "Long Term
Storage" on next page.
6. Uncoil high pressure hose and inspect it for
damage. Cuts in hose or fraying could result in
leaks and loss of pressure. Should any damage
be found, replace hose. DO NOT attempt to repair
a damaged hose. Replace hose with genuine
Sears part.
7. 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
hose.

1. Empty aJJchemicaJ reservoirs as follows:
a. Disconnect hose connected to chemical inject
fitting on pump. PJace end of hose into
suitable container.
b. Rotate one of the chemical shut-off valves to
"On" position and open that tanks cover.
Gravity wilJ empty tank contents into container.
c. When first tank is empty, repeat step (b) for
other tank, using a different container.
d. Reconnect hose to chemical inject fitting on
pump. Add 0.5 quart of clean fresh water to
each tank and close tanks covers.
2. Flush chemical system by selecting one tank,
turning its chemicaJ shut-off vaJve to "On" position
