ASSEMBLING YOUR PRESSURE
WASHER
Your Craftsman pressure washer was mostly
assembled at the factory. However, you will need to
perform these tasks before you can operate your
pressure washer:
1. Add oil to engine crankcase.
2. Add fuel to fuel tank.
3. Connect high pressure hose to spray gun and pump.
4. Connect water supply to pump.
Add Engine Oil
IMPORTANT: Any attempt to crank or start the engine
before it has been properly serviced with the
recommended oil may result in an engine failure.
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use
only high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher rated SAE 30
weight. DO NOT use special additives.
1. Choose a viscosity according to the following table.
STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE
* The use of multi=viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)
in temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in higher
than normal oil consumption. When using a multi-
viscosity oil, check oil more frequently.
** If using SAE 30 oil in temperatures below 40°F
(4°C), it will result in hard starting and possible
engine bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.
2. Place pressure washer on a level surface and
clean area around oil fill.
3. Remove dipstick and wipe clean with cloth.
4. Replace and tighten dipstick.Remove and check
oil level.
5. Slowly pour oil into oil fill opening. Pause to permit
oil to settle. Fill to "Full" mark on dipstick. DO NOT
OVERFILL. Remove dipstick and check oil level.
NOTE: You may not need to use all the supplied oil.
6. Replace dipstick and tighten securely.
NOTE: Check oil often during engine break=in.
