• DONOTmixoil in gasoline.

• DONOTmodifyengineto runonalternatefuels.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel

stabilizerwhen adding fuel. SeeStorage.All fuel is not the

same. If you experiencestarting or performanceproblems

after using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or change

brands. This engine is certified to operateon gasoline. The

emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine

Modifications).

3. Install fuel cap and wait for any spilledfuel to evaporate.

CAUTION! Alcohol-blended fuels (calledgasohol,ethanol or

methanol) canattract moisture, which leadsto separation and

formation of acids during storage.Acidic gascandamagethe

fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be treated

with a fuel preserveror emptied beforestorage of 30 days or

longer. If adding a fuel preserver,fill the fuel tank with fresh

fuel. If only partially fined, air in the tank will promote fuel

deterioration during storage. 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. Usefresh fuel next season.

SeeStoragefor additional information.

NEVERuse engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel

tank as permanent damagemay occur.

HighAltitude

At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum

85 octane / 85 AKi (89 RON)gasolineis acceptable.To

remainemissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is

required. Operationwithout this adjustment win cause

decreasedperformance, increasedfuel consumption, and

increasedemissions. Seea qualified Searsdealerfor high

altitude adjustment information. Operationof the engineat

altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude

kit is not recommended.

FreshStart® Fuel Cap

The FreshStart® fuel cap (A) is designed to hold a

cartridge (B) which containsfuel preserver.Adding fuel

preserver helps keepfuel fresh and carburetors cleanfor

easierstarting all season long. The FreshStart® fuel cap, if

equipped with a cartridge, automatically drips concentrated

fuel preserverinto your fuel tank so you don't haveto add it

yourself.

Searsitem 33386, at your local Searsor by calling 1-800-4-

MY-HOME(469-4663) or online at www.sears.com, it is not

included with the pressurewasher.

Readand follow all instructions andwarnings given in the

FreshStart@fuel preservercartridge package.

Lubricate O-Rings

Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation

and operation. The useof a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic

grease)during assembly helps seat o-rings properly and

provides an improved seal. It alsohelps protect the o-ring

from damageby abrasion,pinching or cutting and extends

the life of the o-ring.

NOTICE ALWAYSapply a small amount of lubricant on

o-rings prior to assemblingthe gardenhoseto the pump (C),

high pressurehose (D), spray gun (E), and nozzle

extension(F).

Lubricateall connectionsshownbelow, following these

instructions:

1. inspect and clean connecting surfaces prior to

lubrication and assembly.

2. Uselubricants sparingly during assembly;a light film is

all that is required.

3. Usea small brush or cotton swab to applygrease

directly to o-rings wherethey are not accessible (QC

fitting, M22 fitting).

ConnectHoseandWater Supply to Pump

ENGINETECHNICALiNFORMATiON

This is a single cylinder, L-head,air cooledengine, it is a low

emissions engine.

In the State of California, Model 120000 enginesare certified

by the California Air Resources Boardto meet emissions

standardsfor 125 hours. Such certification does not grant

the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any

additional warranties with respectto the performanceor

operational life of this engine.Theengine is warranted solely

according to the product and emissions warranties stated

elsewherein this manual.

PowerRatings

Thegross power rating for individual gas engine models is

labeled in accordancewith SAE(Society of Automotive

Engineers)codeJ1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque

Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been

obtained and corrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995

(Revision 2002-05). Torquevalues are derived at 3060 RPM;

horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM.Thegross

power curves can beviewed at

www.BRiGGSandSTRATTON.COM.Netpower values are

taken with exhaust and air cleanerinstalled whereas gross

power values are collectedwithout 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-enginevariability. Giventhe wide

array of products on which enginesare placed, the gas

engine may not developthe ratedgross power when used in

a given pieceof 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-enginevariability. Dueto manufacturing and

capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an

engine of higher ratedpower for this Seriesengine.
