WARRIRG
Fueland its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fireor explosion can causesevere burns or
death.
WHENADDINGFUEL
Turn pressure washer OFFand let it cool at least 2 minutes
before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relievepressure
in tank.
Fill fuel tank outdoors.
, DONOToverfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
If fuel spills, wait until it evaporatesbefore starting engine.
, Keepfuel away from sparks, openflames, pilot lights, heat,and
other ignition sources.
, DONOTlight a cigarette or smoke.

Cleanarea around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
Slowly add regular unleadedfuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be
careful notto overfill. Allow about 1.5" (4 cm) (C) of tank
spacefor fuel expansion.
3. Installfuel capand wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.
CAUTION!Alcohol-blended fuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leadsto separation and
formation of acids during storage.Acidic gascan damagethe
fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.
Toavoidengineproblems,the fuel systemshouldbetreated
with afuel preserver or emptied beforestorageof 30 daysor
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,
drainthe fueltank, startthe engineand let it run untilthe fuel
linesand carburetorareempty. Usefresh fuelnext season.See
Storagefor additionalinformation.
NEVERuseengine or carburetor cleanerproducts in the fuel
tank as permanent damagemay occur.
HighARRude
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.

EHGINETECHNICALINFORMATIOH
This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV),air cooled
engine. It is a low emissions engine.
Inthe Stateof California, ModelSeries 120000 enginesare
certified by the CaliforniaAir ResourcesBoardto meet
emissions standardsfor 125 hours. Suchcertification 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 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 ina 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).

Thepressure washer warranty doesnot 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 madeperiodically to
properly maintainyour pressure washer.
All service and adjustments should be madeat least once
eachseason.Follow the requirementsin the Maintenance
Schedulechart above.
NOTE:Oncea yearyou should clean or 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.
Emissions Control
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 screenfor damage.
4. Checkhigh pressure hose for leaks.
5. Checkgun and spray tip extensionassembly for leaks.
6. Purgepump of air and contaminants.

Clean Debris
Daily or before use,clean accumulated debris from pressure
washer. Keeplinkage, spring and controls clean. Keeparea
around and behind muffler free from anycombustible debris.
Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the pressure
washer. Theseopenings must be kept cleanand
unobstructed.
Pressurewasher parts should be kept cleanto reducethe
