Frequently Asked Questions - CMXGWAS020733 Craftsman

How do I start the Craftsman CMXGWAS020733 pressure washer?

First, ensure the engine switch is in the ON (I) position. Then, grasp the recoil starter and pull slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly to start. Never let the rope snap back.

What type of fuel and oil should I use?

Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with a minimum 87 octane (up to 10% ethanol). For oil, use SAE 30, 10W30, or 5W30 synthetic oil depending on outdoor temperature. The oil capacity is 16 oz (0.5 L).

Why is my pressure washer not producing enough pressure?

Possible causes: a low pressure spray tip is installed (use a high pressure tip like red, yellow, or white), inadequate water supply (min 3.3 GPM), clogged inlet screen, obstructed spray tip, leaking connections, or a damaged high pressure hose.

Can I use bleach or other chemicals in the detergent tank?

No. Only use pressure washer safe detergents/soaps. DO NOT use caustic liquids, bleach, or flammable chemicals. Follow the chemical manufacturer's instructions.

How do I properly store the pressure washer for winter?

Protect the pump from freezing by using Pump Saver or RV antifreeze. Drain all water from hoses, spray gun, and wand. Empty detergent tank and flush with fresh water. Treat or drain fuel to prevent stale fuel issues. Store in a clean, dry area and let the engine cool before covering.

What safety precautions should I take when using this pressure washer?

Always operate outdoors away from windows, doors, and vents to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Wear safety goggles and protective clothing. Never spray people or animals. The spray gun retains pressure even after shutdown; squeeze trigger to release pressure. Keep children and pets away.

How do I clean a clogged spray tip?

After shutting down and releasing pressure, remove the spray tip from the wand. Use a paper clip or similar tool to free any foreign material from the tip orifice.

What is the automatic cool down system?

The pump has an automatic cool down system that discharges warm water to the ground when the pump temperature gets too high, preventing internal damage.

Operation

Step 1: Safe Location

Before starting the pressure washer, there are two equally important safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide poisoning and fire that must be addressed.

Operation Location to Reduce the Risk of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

The engine exhaust of all fossil fuel burning equipment, such as a pressure washer, contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas.

By law, it is required in many states to have a carbon monoxide alarm in operating condition in your home. A carbon monoxide alarm is an electronic device that detects hazardous levels of carbon monoxide. When there is a buildup of carbon monoxide, the alarm will alert the occupants by flashing a visual indicator light and an alarm. Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.

WARNING! Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it.

Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas.

• Operate this product only outdoors, far away from windows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas accumulating and the potential of being drawn towards occupied spaces.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up according to the manufacturer's instructions. Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• Do not run this product inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these spaces and can linger for hours, even after this product has shut off.
• Point exhaust away from all homes and occupied spaces. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this product, get to fresh air right away. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

USE OUTDOORS - AVOID CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM(S)

Install carbon monoxide alarms inside your home. Without working carbon monoxide alarms, you may not realize you are getting sick and dying from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Operation Location to Reduce the Risk of Fire

WARNING! Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire, resulting in death or serious injury.

- Pressure washer must be at least 5 ft (1.5 m) from any structure, overhang, trees, windows, doors, and any wall opening, shrubs, or vegetation over 12 in. (30.5 cm) in height.

- Do not place pressure washer under a deck or other type of structure that may confine airflow. Smoke alarm(s) must be installed and maintained indoors according to the manufacturer's instructions /recommendations.

• Carbon monoxide alarms cannot detect smoke.

- It is a violation of California Public Resource Code Section 4442, to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in Section 4442, maintained in effective working order. Other states or federal jurisdictions may have similar laws, reference Federal Regulation 36 CFR Part 261.52.

- Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or dealer to obtain a spark arrester designed for the exhaust system installed on this engine.

- Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same position as the original parts.

Power Ratings: The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque values are derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with "rpm" called out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power values are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher than net engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines are placed, the gasoline engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment. This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this engine.

ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY

Warranty service is available only through Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealers. This warranty covers only defects in materials or workmanship. It does not cover damage caused by improper use or abuse, improper maintenance or repair, normal wear and tear, or stale or unapproved fuel.

Improper Use and Abuse - The proper, intended use of this product is described in the Operator's Manual. Using the product in a way not described in the Operator's Manual or using the product after it has been damaged will not be covered under this warranty. Warranty coverage will also not be provided if the serial number on the product has been removed or the product has been altered or modified in any way, or if the product has evidence of abuse such as impact damage or water/chemical corrosion damage.

Improper Maintenance or Repair - This product must be maintained according to the procedures and schedules provided in the Operator's Manual, and serviced or repaired using genuine Briggs & Stratton parts or equivalent. Damage caused by lack of maintenance or use of non-original parts is not covered by warranty.

Normal Wear and Tear - Like most mechanical devices, your unit is subject to wear even when properly maintained. This warranty does not cover repairs when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment. Maintenance and wear items such as filters, belts, cutting blades, and brake pads (except engine brake pads) are not covered by warranty due to wear characteristics alone, unless the cause is due to defects in material or workmanship.

Stale or Unapproved Fuel - In order to function correctly, this product requires fresh fuel that conforms to the criteria specified in the Operator's Manual. Engine or equipment damage caused by stale fuel or the use of unapproved fuels (such as E15 or E85 ethanol blends) is not covered by warranty.

Other Exclusions - This warranty excludes damage due to accident, abuse, modifications, alterations, improper servicing, freezing or chemical deterioration. Attachments or accessories that were not originally packaged with the product are also excluded. There is no warranty coverage on equipment used for primary power in place of utility power or on equipment used in life support applications. This warranty does not include used, reconditioned, second-hand, or demonstration equipment or engines. This warranty also excludes failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturer's control.

WARNING

Read and follow Operating Instructions before running or servicing engine.

Gasoline is flammable. Allow engine to cool at least 2 minutes before refueling.

Engines emit carbon monoxide, DO NOT run in enclosed area.

WARNING

Failure to read and follow the operator's manual, all warnings and operating instructions could result in death or serious injury.

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You cannot see or smell it. Only use outside far away from windows, doors and vents.

Gasoline is flammable. Allow engine to cool at least 2 minutes before refueling. Do not spray flammable liquids.

High pressure could cut through skin. Never spray people. Spray gun traps high water pressure, even after engine is shut down and water is disconnected. Squeeze trigger, to release high pressure, every time engine stops.

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) could pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go. Pull starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback. Gun kicks back — Hold with both hands.

Spray could splash back or propel objects. Wear safety goggles and protective clothing. Safety glasses do not provide full protection.

Muffler could cause burns. Do not touch hot parts. Avoid hot exhaust gases.
