3. Installfuel capand wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.
CAUTION!Alcohol-blended fuels (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 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 in the 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.
FreshStart FuelCap
Adding fuel preserver helps keepfuel fresh and carburetors
clean for easier starting, all season long. This new fuel cap
automatically drips concentrated fuel preserver into your fuel
tank.

EHGJNETECHNICALJNFORMATJOH PRODUCTSPECJFICATJOHS
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 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 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).
