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 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

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.

FreshStart@ Fuel Cap

The FreshStart@fuel cap (A) is designed to hold a

cartridge (B) which containsfuel preserver.Adding fuel

preserver helps keepfuel fresh and carburetors cleanfor

easierstarting all season long. The FreshStart@fuel cap, if

equipped with a cartridge, automatically drips concentrated

fuel preserverinto your fuel tank so you don't haveto addit

yourself.

NOTICE FreshStart@fuel preserver cartridge isavailableas

an optional accessory, retail item7133386. It is not included

with the pressurewasher. Contact the original equipment

manufacturer, retailer,or dealerto obtain acartridge

designedfor the FreshStart@fuel cap installed on this

engine.

Readand follow all instructions andwarnings given in the

FreshStart@fuel preservercartridge package.

LubricaleO-Rings

Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation

and operation. The useof a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic

grease)during assembly helpsseat o-rings properly and

provides an improved seal. It also helps 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 assemblingthe garden hoseto the pump (C),

high pressure hose(D), spray gun (E), and nozzle

extension(F).

Lubricateall connectionsshownbelow, following these

instructions:

1. inspect and cleanconnecting surfaces prior to

lubrication and assembly.

2. Use lubricants sparingly during assembly; a light film is

all that is required.

3. Use a small brush or cotton swab to apply grease

directly to o-rings wherethey are not accessible(QC

fitting, M22 fitting).

ENGINETECHNICALiNFORMATiON

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

engine, it is a low emissions engine.

In the State of 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 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.

Power Ratings

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.Net power

values aretaken with exhaustand air cleanerinstalled

whereas gross powervalues are collected without 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-engine

variability. Giventhe wide array of products on which engines

are placed, the gasengine 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-engine

variability. Dueto manufacturing and capacity limitations,

Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated

power for this Seriesengine.
