Air Cooling System
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and
cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For
this reason, we recommend you have a qualified Sears
service dealer clean the cooling system per recommended
intervals (see MaintenanceSchedule). Equally important is to
keep top of engine free from debris. See CleanDebris.
Keep areas within heavy line clear of debris.
AFTEREACHUSE
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and
"freeze" pump action. Follow these procedures after every
use:
1. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun in a
safe direction, press red button and squeeze trigger to
relieve trapped pressure and let engine cool.
_i, WARNING The high pressure stream of water that
this equipment produces can cut through skin
and its underlying tissues, leading to serious
injury and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is
stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause
injury.
• Keephigh pressure hoseconnected to pumpand spraygun
