EMISSIONSINFORMATION
The U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency (and California Air
ResourceBoardfor equipmentcertifiedto CAstandards)requires
that this engine comply with exhaust and evaporativeemission
standards.Locate the emissions compliancedecalon the engine
to determinewhat standardsthe enginemeets, and to determine
which emissions warrantyapplies.Theengineis certified to meet
the applicableemission standardson gasoline.It is important to
follow the maintenancespecificationsin the Maintenancesection
to ensurethat the enginecomplies with the applicableemission
standardsfor thedurationofthe product's life. Thisengineutilizes
leancarburetionsettings and other systemsto reduceemissions.
Tampering with or altering the emission control system may
increaseemissionsand may be a violation of Federalor California
Law.Acts that constitutetampering includebutare notlimited to:
• Removalor alterationof anypart of the intake,fuel, or exhaust
systems
• Altering or defeatingthe governor linkage or speed-adjusting
mechanismto causethe engineto operateoutside its design
parameters
If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your
engineinspectedand repairedby your servicingdealer:
• Hardstartingor stallingafter starting
• Roughidle
• Misfiring or backfiringunderload
• Afterburning(backfiring)
• Blackexhaustsmoke or highfuel consumption
HIGHALTITUDEOPERATION
Thefuel systemon this enginemay be influencedby operationat
higher altitudes.Properoperationcan be ensuredby installing an
altitudekit when required.Seethetable belowto determinewhen
an altitudekit is required.Operatingthis enginewithoutthe proper
altitude kit installed may increase the engine's emissions and
decreasefuel economy and performance. Kits may be obtained
from anyDealer,and shouldbe installedby a qualifiedindividual.
Altitude* Kit Number PSI
0 - 5000 Feet NotRequired 2500/2700/3100

NOTE:
If thealtitude kit hasbeen installedand the enginewill be
operated at analtitudewherethe kit is notrequired, the
engineshould be returned tothe original factory configuration.
Operatingthe engineat loweraltitudes with the kit installed
may causethe engineto overheat and result in seriousengine
damage, and may result in decreased performanceand
increasedemissions.

MAINTENANCERECOMMENDATIONS
Regular maintenance wilt improve the performance and extend
the life of the power washer. See any qualified dealer for service.
The power washer's warranty does not cover items that have been
subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value
from the warranty, the operator must maintain the power washer
as instructed in this manual, including proper storage as detailed
in Winter Storage and Long Term Storage.
