Fuel must meet these requirements:
Clean,fresh, unleadedgasoline.
A minimum of 87 octane/87AKI (91 RON).For high
altitude use, see HighAltitude.
Gasolinewith upto 10% ethanol (gasohol)is acceptable.
NOTICE Useof unapprovedfuels could damagepressure
washer and voids warranty.
DONOTuseunapprovedgasolinesuchasE15andE85.
DONOTmixoilingasolineor modifyenginetorunonalternatefuels.
,A WARNING Fueland its vapors areextremelyflammable
andexplosivewhich could causeburns,
fire or explosionresulting in deathor
seriousinjury.
WHENADDINGFUEL
Turn pressurewasher engineOFFandlet it cool at least 2
minutes before removingfuel cap. Loosencap slowly to relieve
pressure in tank.
Fill fuel tank outdoors.
DONOToverfill tank. Allow spacefor fuel expansion.
If fuel spills, wait until it evaporatesbefore starting engine.
Keepfuel awayfrom sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat,and
other ignition sources.
Checkfuel lines,tank, cap andfittings frequently for cracks or
leaks. Replaceif necessary.
DONOTlight a cigaretteor smoke.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix ina 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 iscertified to operateon gasoline. The
emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine
Modifications).
1. Cleanarea around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add regular unleadedfuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be
careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" (4 cm) (C) of tank
spacefor fuel expansion.
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.
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.
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 ALWAYSapplya small amount of lubricant on o-
rings prior to assembling the garden hoseto the pump
inlet (D), high pressure hose to pump outlet (E), high
pressure hose(F), spray gun (6), and nozzleextension(H).
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 Supplyto Pump
NOTICE DONOTrun the pump without the water supply
connectedand turned on.

instructionwillvoidwarranty.
NOTICE Removeand discard the shipping caps from the
pump's high pressure outlet and water inlet before attaching

ENGINETECHNICALiNFORMATiON
This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV), air cooled
engine. In the State of California, Model 150000 engines are
certified bythe CaliforniaAir ResourcesBoard to meet
emissions standardsfor 250 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.
