Add Engine Oil - Craftsman 580.676662 Manuel De L'opérateur

Add Engine Oil

1. Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill
cap/dipstick.
NOTE: See the section "Oil" on page 18 to review oil
recommendations. Verify provided oil bottle is the correct
viscosity for current ambient temperature.
3. Using oil funnel (optional), slowly pour contents of
provided oil bottle into oil fill opening.
NOTICE
Improper treatment of pressure washer can damage it
and shorten its life.
• DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been
properly serviced with the recommended oil. This may result in
an engine failure.
4. Replace oil fill cap/dipstick and fully tighten.
Add Fuel
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude
use, see "High Alltitude" below.
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15%
MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
NOTICE
Avoid pressure washer damage.
Failure to follow Operator's Manual for fuel
recommendations voids warranty.
• DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E85.
• DO NOT mix oil in fuel.
• DO NOT modify engine to run on alternate fuels.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel
stabilizer when adding fuel. See Storage. All fuel is not the
same. If you experience starting or performance problems
after using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or change
brands. This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The
emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine
Modifications).
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
• Turn pressure washer OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes
before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure
in tank.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add regular unleaded fuel to fuel tank. Be careful
not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" (38 mm) of tank space
for fuel expansion.
3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before
starting engine.
CAUTION!
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 performance issues, the fuel system should
be treated with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of
30 days or longer. To protect the fuel system from gum
formation, use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START™ fuel
stabilizer plus, or FRESH START™ continuous fuel preserver
(concentrated liquid cartridge). If fuel preserver is not used,
drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
See "Storage" on page 21 for additional information.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damage may occur.
High Altitude
At higher altitudes (over 5,000 feet), 85 octane/85 AKI
(89 RON) gasoline is recommended. High-altitude use may
require a carburetor jet kit to improve performance and
decrease fuel consumption. See any Sears or qualified dealer
for more information.
