3. Install fuel capand wait for any spilled fuel 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 tiffed, 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 wiii cause
decreasedperformance, increasedfuel consumption, and
increasedemissions. Seea qualified Searsdealerfor high
altitude adjustment information. Operationof the engine at
altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude
kit is not recommended.
Fresh Start@ Fuel Cap
The FreshStart@fuel cap (C) is designedto hold a
cartridge (D)which contains fuel preserver.Adding fuel
preserver helps keepfuel fresh and carburetors cleanfor
easierstarting all season long. TheFresh Start@fuel cap, if
equippedwith a cartridge, automatically drips concentrated
fuel preserver into your fuel tank so you don't haveto add it
yourself.

ENGINETECHNICALiNFORMATiON
This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV), air cooled
engine, it is a low emissions engine.
In the State of California, Model 110000 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.Actual gross
engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other
things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine
variability. Givenboth the wide arrayof products on which
enginesare placed andthe variety of environmental issues
applicableto operatingthe equipment,the gas engine wiii not
developthe ratedgross power when used in a given pieceof
power equipment (actual "on-site"or net power). This
difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not
limited to, accessories(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.

GeneralRecommendations
Regularmaintenancewill improve the performanceand
extendthe life of the pressurewasher. Seeany Searsor
other qualified service dealerfor service.
Thepressure washer warranty does not cover items that
havebeensubjected to operator abuseor negligence.To
receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must
maintain pressurewasher as instructed in this manual
including proper storage asdetailed in Storage.
Someadjustments will needto be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressurewasher.
All service and adjustments should be madeat least once
eachseason.Follow the requirementsin the Maintenance
Schedulechart above.
NOTICE Oncea yearyou should cleanor replacethe spark
plug and replacethe air filter. A new spark plug and clean air
filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and helpyour engine run
better and last longer.
PumpOil
DONOTattempt any oil maintenanceon this pump. The
pump is pre-iubricated and sealedfrom the factory, requiring
no additional maintenancefor the life of the pump.
EmissionsControl
Maintenance,replacement,or repair of the emissions
