3. Install fuel cap and wait for anyspilled fuelto evaporate.

CAUTION! Alcohol-blendedfuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or

methanol) canattract moisture, which leadsto separationand

formation of acids during storage.Acidic gas candamagethe

fuel system ofan engine while in storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be treated

with a fuel preserver or emptied beforestorage 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 the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel

linesand carburetor areempty. Usefresh fuel nextseason.

SeeStoragefor additional information.

NEVERuseengine 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)gasoline is acceptable.To remain

emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required.

Operationwithout this adjustment will causedecreased

performance, increasedfuel consumption, andincreased

emissions. Seea qualified Searsdealerfor high altitude

adjustment information. Operation ofthe engineat altitudes

below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude kit is not

recommended.

EHGINETECHNICALINFORMATIOH PRODUCTSPECIFICATIOHS

This is a single cylinder, L-head,air cooled engine. It is a low

emissions engine.

Inthe Stateof California, Model90000 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 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

labeledin accordancewith SAE(Societyof Automotive

Engineers)codeJ1940 (Small EnginePower &Torque

Rating Procedure),and rating performance hasbeen

obtained andcorrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995

(Revision2002-05). Torquevalues are derived at3060 RPM;

horsepower values are derivedat 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 array of products on which

enginesare placedand the variety of environmental issues

applicableto operatingthe equipment, the gas engine will 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-engine variability. Dueto

manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton

maysubstitute an engine of higher ratedpower for this

Seriesengine.

All serviceandadjustments should be madeat least once

eachseason.Follow the requirementsin the Maintenance

Schedulechart above.

NOTE:Oncea year you should clean or replacethe spark

plug and replacethe air filter. Anew sparkplug and clean air

filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run

better and last longer.

Spark Arrester Service

Your engine is not factory-equipped with a spark arrester. In

some areas,it is illegalto operatean engine without a spark

arrester. Checklocal laws and regulations. A spark arrester is

availablefrom your nearest Searsservicecenter. If you need

to order a spark arrester, pleasecall 1-SOO-4-MY-HOME

(46g-4663).

Thespark arrester must be serviced every 50 hours to keepit

functioning as designed.

If the engine has been running,the muffler will bevery hot.

Allow the muffler to cool before servicing the spark arrester.

burns.

,_,t Exhaustheat/gases can ignite combustibles,structures or damagefuel tank causing a fire.

• DO NOTtouch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.

. Allow equipment to cool before touching.

• Keepat least 5feet (152 cm) of clearanceon all sides of

pressure washer including overhead.

• Codeof FederalRegulation (CFR)Title 36 Parks, Forests,and

Public Property require equipment powered by an internal

combustion engine to havea spark arrester, maintained in

effective working order, complying to USDAForestservice

standard 5100-1C or later revision. Inthe State of California a

spark arrester is requiredunder section 4442 of the California

Public resources code. Other statesmay havesimilar laws.

• Remove spark arrester screen for cleaning and inspection.

• Replace if screen is damaged.

Air Cooling System

Overtime debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and

cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For

this reason,we recommendyou havea qualified Sears

servicedealer cleanthe cooling system per recommended

intervals (see MaintenanceSchedule). Equallyimportant is to

keeptop of engine freefrom debris. See CleanDebris.

To protectthe unitfrom freezingtemperatures:

1. Follow steps 1-3 in the previous sectionAfter EachUse.

2. Use pump saver to treat pump. This minimizes freeze

LOHGTERM STORAGE

If you do not plan to usethe pressure washer for morethan

30 days,you must preparethe engineandpump for long

term storage.

It is importantto preventgum deposits from forming in

essentialfuel system parts such asthe carburetor, fuel filter,

fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experienceindicates

that alcohol-blendedfuels (called gasohol, ethanol or

methanol) canattract moisture, which leadsto separation

and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can

damagethe fuel system of anengine while in storage.

Protect FueJSystem

FuelAdditive:

Fuelcan becomestale when stored over 30 days.Stalefuel

causesacid and gum depositsto form in the fuel system or

on essentialcarburetor parts. To keepfuel fresh, use Briggs

& Stratton FRESHSTARTTM fuel stabilizer, availableas a

liquid additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.

Thereis no needto drain gasolinefrom the engine if a fuel

stabilizer is added according to instructions. Runthe engine

for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel

system. The engineand fuel canthen be stored up to

24 months.

If gasoline in the engine hasnot beentreated with a fuel

stabilizer, it must be drained into anapprovedcontainer. Run

the engine until it stops from lackof fuel. The useof a fuel

stabilizer in the storage container is recommendedto

maintain freshness.

While engine isstill warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill

with recommendedgrade. See ChangingEngine Oil.

Protect Pump

To protect the pump from damagecausedby mineral

deposits or freezing, usePumpSaverto treat pump. This

preventsfreezedamageand lubricates pistons and seals.
