Background
The Craftsman Pressure Washer 580.762202 is a gasoline-operated pressure washer made by Sears. The pressure washer includes a 6.75 horsepower Tecumseh engine which can produce up to 2200 PSI of water pressure at a flow rate of 2.2 GPM.
The pressure washer is equipped with an axial cam direct drive pump and can use undiluted detergent. The device comes with a 25 ft high-pressure hose and offers adjustable, turbo, and rotating brush nozzle tips. It has a fuel tank capacity of 1.5 quarts and uses SAE 30 oil. To operate the pressure washer, engine oil and gasoline are added, the garden hose is connected to the cold water inlet and the high-pressure hose is connected to the pump outlet and spray gun. The nozzle is then slid to a low-pressure setting to purge air from the system. The throttle is moved to the FAST position and the recoil starter is pulled to start the engine. The nozzle is slid to adjust the pressure setting and the spray gun trigger is squeezed to operate. The device should be maintained regularly by checking and cleaning the water inlet screen, checking the high-pressure hose for damage, cleaning or replacing the nozzle if clogged, checking and adding oil before each use, changing the oil after the first 2 hours then every 25 hours, cleaning or replacing the air filter every 100 hours or yearly, cleaning or replacing the spark plug yearly, and always shutting off the water supply and relieving system pressure before storing. If storing in freezing temperatures, the pump and hoses should be flushed with RV antifreeze and the fuel system must be emptied before storing for over 30 days.
