Power Ratings

Thegross power rating for individuaI gas engine models is

labeledin accordancewith SAE(Societyof Automotive

Engineers)codeJ1940 (Small EnginePower & 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.Actuai gross

engine power wiii be lower and is affected by, among other

things, ambientoperating conditions andengine-to-engine

variabiiity. Givenboth the wide array of products on which

enginesare placedand the variety of environmental issues

appiicabb to operatingthe equipment, the gas engine wiii 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

LONGTER I STORAGE

If you do not plan to usethe pressure washer for morethan

30 days,you must prepare the engine and pump for long

term storage.

It is important to preventgum deposits from forming in

essentialfuel system parts such asthe carburetor, fuet filter,

fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experienceindicates

that alcohol-blendedfuels (called gasohol, ethanol or

methanol) canattract moisture, which ieadsto separation

and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can

damagethe fuel system of anengine while in storage.

Pretect Fuel System

FuelPre_er:

Fueican becomestab when stored over 30 days.Stab fuel

causesacid and gum depositsto form in the fuei system or

on essentialcarburetor parts. To keepfue! fresh, use Bdggs

Thereis no needto draingasoiine from the engineif afuel

for 2 minutesto circulate the stabiiizerthroughout the fuel

system. Theengine and fuet can then bestored upto

If gasolinein the engine has not beentreated with afuel

stabiiizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Run

the engine untii it stops from iack of fuel. The use of a fuel
