Craftsman 486245332 sprayer Parts

Craftsman model 486245332 is identified by its model and serial decal on the tank, but Craftsman does not publish a specific “made from year X to year Y” production range in the documentation. The most reliable way to date your unit is to use the serial number and your recorded purchase date in the 486245332 owner's manual.

Use these steps in order; they work even if you bought it secondhand:

• Locate the model and serial number decal attached to the tank.
• Write down the serial number exactly as shown.
• Match the serial number to any receipt, invoice, or service record you have.
• Record the date of purchase in your records (the manual provides a place to note it).
• Use the model number 486245332 when selecting parts so you stay on the correct diagram.

Knowing the approximate age helps when you are troubleshooting performance issues and replacing wear items that commonly age out, such as hoses, strainers, clamps, and fittings. For example, if you are chasing a restriction or weak spray, the lawn tractor lawn sprayer attachment strainer screen ST43411 is a common place to inspect and clean.

On the Craftsman sprayer model 486245332, the model number (and serial number) is printed on a decal attached to the tank. Use the model number from that decal when looking up parts, assembly steps, and troubleshooting in the owner's manual.

• Look on the outside of the tank for a rectangular decal or label
• Check areas that stay relatively flat and clean (near the top shoulder of the tank or a side panel)
• Wipe dust or chemical residue off the label with a damp cloth so the numbers are readable
• Record the model number, serial number, and purchase date for future reference
• If the decal is worn, take a close-up photo and zoom in to read the characters

Most labels for this unit show the model in a format like 486.245332 (same model, different punctuation). The serial number is on the same decal.

Using the exact model number from the tank decal prevents ordering the wrong sprayer parts, especially for common fit-sensitive items like the tank 46283, hoses, strainers, and spray gun components.
