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.

Craftsman CMXGWAS020733 - Operation Location to Reduce the Risk of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning - 2

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.

Protecting Fuel System

  1. Treat or drain fuel from pressure washer as fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days.

Each time you fill the container with fuel, add STA-BIL 360°® PROTECTION™ to the fuel as specified by the manufacturer's instructions. This keeps fuel fresh and decreases fuel-related problems or contamination in the fuel system.

It is not necessary to drain fuel from the engine when STABIL 360°® PROTECTION™ is added as instructed. Before storage, turn the engine ON for 2 minutes to move the fuel and stabilizer through the fuel system.

If fuel in the engine has not been treated with STA-BIL 360°® PROTECTION™, it must be drained into an approved container. Then run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel.

Protecting the Pressure Washer

  1. Turn off water and purge system.
  2. Disconnect and drain all hoses, spray gun and spray wand.
  3. Empty pump of all liquids by pulling recoil handle about six times.

NOTICE Store spray gun indoors and keep from freezing.

Protecting the Pump

  1. Treat pump with Pump Saver.

Use Pump Saver to protect pump from damage caused by mineral deposits and freezing. It also lubricates pistons and seals. See Common Service Parts.

Read and follow all Pump Saver warnings and instructions.

If Pump Saver is not available, connect a 3 ft (1 m) section of garden hose to water inlet. Pour RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into hose. Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect hose.

NOTICE You must protect your product from freezing temperatures. Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and spray gun rendering your product inoperable.

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.

*This pressure washer is rated in accordance to the Pressure Washer Manufacturers' Association (PWMA) standard PW101-2010 (Testing and Rating Performance of Pressure Washers).
