Background
The Craftsman Pressure Washer 580.752880 is a portable gas-powered cleaning device produced by Sears Brands. It utilizes a 177cc Briggs & Stratton overhead valve engine and an axial cam pump, which can generate up to 2700 PSI of water pressure, making it suitable for a variety of cleaning tasks.
This pressure washer includes multiple features such as a flow rate of 2.3 GPM, five quick connect spray tips, an onboard detergent tank, a 25 ft high-pressure hose, and a 35 ft onboard hose reel. Additionally, it has a fold-down handle for compact storage, two 12.5 oz onboard detergent tanks, and a Quick Switch detergent selector. The unit also includes a thermal relief system that automatically circulates water through the pump if temperatures reach 125-155°F, which helps to prevent pump damage.
The operation of the device involves connecting a garden hose to the water inlet, checking oil and fuel levels, connecting the high-pressure hose to the pump outlet and spray gun, selecting and connecting the desired spray tip, turning on the water supply and purging air from the system, starting the engine using the rocker switch and recoil starter, testing spray patterns, applying detergent using the soap spray tip, and rinsing with the desired high-pressure spray tip.
Maintenance includes checking the engine oil before each use and changing it after the first 5 hours of operation. The air filter should be cleaned every 50 hours or replaced yearly, and the spark plug should be replaced yearly. The pump oil level is maintenance-free, as the pump is pre-lubricated and sealed from the factory. The O-rings should be lubricated with grease during assembly to ensure proper sealing.
