altitude adjustment information. Operationof the engine at

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

kit is not recommended.

LubricateO-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 garden hoseto the pump (D),

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

extension(G).

3. Install fuel capand wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.

CAUTION! Alcohol-blendedfuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or

methanol) can attract moisture, which leadsto separationand

formation of acids during storage.Acidic gascan damagethe

fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.

To avoidengine problems, the fuel system should betreated

with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of 30 days or

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

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

deterioration during storage. If fuel preserver is not used,

drain thefuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel

lines and carburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season.

See Storagefor additional information.

NEVERuseengine or carburetor cleanerproducts in thefuel

tank as permanent damagemay occur.

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).

ENGINETECHNICALiNFORMATiON PRODUCTSPECIFICATIONS

This is a single cylinder, L-head,air cooled M/odei100000

engine.The Emission Control System for this pressure

washer is warranted for standards set bythe Environmental

Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board.

Certification does not grant the purchaser,owner or operator

of this engine anyadditional warranties with respectto the

performance or operational life of this engine.Theengine is

warranted solely according to the product and emissions

warranties stated elsewherein this manual.

Power Ratings

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 RPMM;

horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPMM.Thegross

power curves can beviewed at

www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COMNet power 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.
