Add Fuel; Connect Hose And Water Supply To Pump; Checklist Before Starting Engine - Craftsman 580.672200 Owner's Manual

6. Pour slowly. Wipe dipstick clean each time oil
level is checked. DO NOT overfill.
7. Install oil fill plug and dipstick, tighten securely.
NOTE: Check oil often during engine break–in.

Add Fuel

WARNING!
NEVER fill fuel tank indoors.
NEVER fill fuel tank when engine is running or
hot. DO NOT smoke when filling fuel tank.
WARNING!
NEVER fill fuel tank completely
full. Provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe
away any fuel spillage from engine and
equipment before starting.
1. Use clean regular unleaded automotive fuel and
store in approved, clean, covered containers. Use
clean fill funnels. NEVER use "stale" fuel left over
from last season or fuel stored for long periods.
2. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
3. Slowly add fuel to fuel tank. Use a funnel to
prevent spillage. Fill tank to about 1.5" below the
top of the filler neck.
4. Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled fuel.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.
Also, experience indicates that alcohol–blended fuels
(called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture, which leads to separation and formation of
acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See
"Storage" on page 15. NEVER use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.

Connect Hose and Water Supply to Pump

IMPORTANT: To avoid pump damage, you must
assemble the nozzle extension to the spray gun and
attach all hoses before you start the engine.
1. Uncoil high pressure hose and attach one end of
hose to base of spray gun. Tighten by hand.
2. Attach other end of high pressure hose to high
pressure outlet on pump. Tighten by hand.
3. Before connecting garden hose to water inlet,
inspect inlet screen. Clean screen if it contains
debris or have it replaced if damaged. Refer to
section "O-Ring Maintenance" if inlet screen is
damaged. DO NOT run pressure washer if inlet
screen is damaged. NEVER siphon inlet water.
4. Run water through garden hose for 30 seconds to
flush out any debris.
5. Connect garden hose (not to exceed 50 feet in
Tank

There MUST be at least ten feet of unrestricted garden
hose between the pressure washer inlet and any flow
shut off device, such as a 'Y' shut-off connector or
other convenience-type water shut-off valve.
