use, see HighAltitude.

• Gasolinewith upto 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15%

MTBE (methyltertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.

careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5"(4 cm) (C)of tank

space for fuel expansion.

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

CAUTION! Alcohol-blendedfuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or

methanol) canattract moisture, which leadsto separation and

formation of acids during storage.Acidic gas candamagethe

fuel system of an engine while in storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel systemshould 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 inthe tank will promote fuel

deterioration during storage. If fuel preserver is not used,

drain the fuel tank, start the engineand let it run until the fuel

linesand 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 over5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum

85 octane/ 85 AKI (89 RON)gasoline is acceptable.To

remainemissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is

required. Operationwithout this adjustment will cause

decreasedperformance, increased fuel 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.

EHGINETECHNICALJNFORMATIOH PRODUCTSPECIFICATiOHS

This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV),air cooled

engine, it is a low emissions engine.

Inthe Stateof 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 engineany

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 Engine Power & 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.

This pressurewasher is rated in accordanceto the Pressure

Washer Manufacture Association (PWMA) standard PW101

(Testingand Rating Performanceof PressureWashers).

General Recommendations

Regularmaintenancewill improve the performanceand

extend the life of the pressure washer. Seeany Searsor

other qualified service dealerfor service.

The pressure washer warranty does not cover items that

havebeensubjectedto operator abuse or negligence. To

receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must

maintain pressure washer as instructed in this manual

including proper storage as detailedin Storage.

Someadjustments will needto be madeperiodically to

properly maintain your pressure washer.

All service and adjustments should be madeat least once

eachseason. Followthe requirements in the Maintenance

Schedulechart above.

NOTE:Oncea yearyou should clean or replacethe spark

plug and replacethe air filter. A newspark plug and cleanair

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

better and last longer.

Pump OH

DONOTattempt any oil maintenanceon this pump.The

pump is pre-lubricated and sealedfrom the factory, requiring

no additional maintenancefor the life of the pump.

EmissionsControl

Maintenance, replacement, or repair ofthe emissions

control devicesand systemsmay be performedby any non-

road engine repair establishmentor individual. However,

to obtain "no charge" emissions control service, the work

must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.Seethe

Emissions Warranty.

Before Each Use

1. Checkengine oil level.

2. Cleandebris.

3. Checkwater inlet screen for damage.

4. Checkhigh pressure hose for leaks.

5. Checkgun and nozzleextension assembly for leaks.

6. Purge pump of air and contaminants.

PRESSUREWASHERMAINTENANCE

Clean Debris

Daily or before use, dean accumulated debris from pressure

washer. Keeplinkage, spring and controls clean. Keeparea

around and behind muffler free from any combustible debris.

Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the pressure

washer.These openings must be kept cleanand

unobstructed.

Pressurewasher parts should be kept cleanto reducethe

risk of overheatingand ignition of accumulated debris.

• Usea damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

• Usea soft bristle brush to loosen cakedon dirt, oil, etc.

• Usea vacuum cleanerto pick up loose dirt and debris.
