Storage; Protection Against Freezing - Craftsman 559.741710 Owner's Manual

PROTECTION AGAINST FREEZING

The cleaner will be severely damaged if it is stored
in a location where the temperature falls below
freezing point without its first being emptied of water
or flushed through with 50 % Anti-freeze solution.
The best protection against freezing is to store the
cleaner and the accessories (high-pressure hose,
trigger gun, spray lance) in a room where the tempe-
rature will not fall to the freezing point.
To empty the cleaner
· Disconnect the cleaner from the water supply.
· Disconnect the HP hose from the cleaner.
· The water will drain out.
A cleaner that may have frozen up should first be
thawed before it is put back into use as otherwise
damage may be caused.
Flushing with Anti-freeze solution
If the cleaner is to be out of operation for any length
of time, it is advisable to flush it through with a
glysantine solution as this provides a certain degree
of protection against corrosion. A solution of 50 %
Anti-freeze, 50 % water is pumped through the
cleaner.

STORAGE

HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE
Particular care should be paid to the hoses.
All high-pressure hoses must comply with
the safety regulations and be marked with
their working pressure, date of manufacture
and name of the maker.
High-pressure hoses must not be kinked,
twisted, crushed or damaged in any other
way. Damaged high-pressure hoses may
burst and are therefore dangerous and should
be replaced without delay.
It is extremely dangerous to use high-pres-
sure hoses of low durability or that have
been inexpertly repaired and so you should
only use high-pressure hoses that have been
tested and marked.
Original high-pressure hoses meet these
safety requirements.
