Add Fuel

Fuel mustmeet theserequirements:

• Clean,fresh, unleaded gasoline.

• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON).High altitude

use, see HighAltitude.

• Gasolinewith up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15%

MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.

NOTICE Avoid pressure washer damage.

Failureto follow Operator's Manualfor fuel

recommendations voids warranty.

• DONOTuseunapprovedgasolinesuchasE85.

• DONOTmixoilin gasoline.

• DONOTmodifyengineto runonalternatefuels.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel

stabilizerwhen adding fuel. SeeStorage.All fuel is not the

same. If you experiencestarting or performanceproblems

after using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or change

brands. This engine is certified to operateon gasoline. The

emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine

Modifications).

_i, WARNING Fueland its vapors are extremely

flammable and explosive.

Fireor explosion can causesevere burns

or death.

WHENADDINGFUEL

• Turn pressure washerOFFand let it cool at least2 minutes

before removing fuel cap. Loosencapslowly to relievepressure

in tank.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors.

• DONOToverfill tank. Allow spacefor fuel expansion.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporatesbefore starting engine.

• Keepfuel awayfrom sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat,and

other ignition sources.

• DONOTlight a cigarette or smoke.

1. Cleanarea around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

2. Slowly add regular unleadedfuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be

careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" (4 cm) (6) of tank

spacefor fuel expansion.

3. Install fuel capand wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.

CAUTION!Alcohol-blendedfuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or

methanol) canattract moisture, which leadsto separation and

formation of acidsduring storage.Acidic gascandamagethe

fuel system of anenginewhile 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.

See Storagefor 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 will 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 (D) is designedto hold a

cartridge (E) which contains fuel preserver.Adding fuel

preserver helps keepfuel fresh and carburetors cleanfor

easier starting all season long. TheFreshStart® fuel cap, if

equipped with a cartridge, automatically drips concentrated

fuel preserver into your fuel tankso you don't haveto add it

'ourself.

NOTICE FreshStart®fuel preservercartridge is availableas

an optional accessory, retail item 7133386. It is not included

with the pressure washer. Contactthe original equipment

ENGINETECHNICALINFORMATION

This is a single cylinder, L-head,air cooledengine. 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 enginemodels 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 RPIVI.Actual gross

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

things, ambientoperating conditions and engine-to-engine

variability. Givenboth the wide arrayof products onwhich

enginesare placed andthe 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-enginevariability. Dueto

manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton

may substitute an engine of higher ratedpower for this

Seriesengine.

This pressurewasher is rated in accordanceto the Pressure

Washer ManufacturersAssociation (PWIVIA)standard PW101

(Testing and Rating Performanceof PressureWashers).

General Recommendations

Regularmaintenancewill improve the performanceand

extendthe life of the pressurewasher. Seeany Searsor

other qualified service dealerfor service.

Thepressure washer warranty does not coveritems that

havebeensubjected to operator abuseor negligence.To

receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must

maintain pressurewasher as instructed in this manual

including properstorage asdetailed in Storage.

Someadjustments will needto be made periodically to

properly maintainyour pressurewasher.

All service and adjustments should be madeat least once

eachseason.Follow the requirementsin the Maintenance

Schedulechart above.

NOTICE Oncea yearyou should cleanor 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.

Pump Oil

DONOTattempt any oil maintenanceon this pump. The

pump is pre-lubricatedand sealedfrom the factory, requiring

no additional maintenancefor the life of the pump.

Emissions Control

Maintenance,replacement,or repair ofthe emissions

controldevicesand systemsmay be performedbyany non-

roadenginerepair establishmentor individual. However,

to obtain "no charge" emissions control service, the work

must be performed by a factory authorizeddealer. Seethe

Emissions Warranty.

Before Each Use

1. Checkengine oil level.

2. Cleandebris.

3. Checkwater inlet screenfor damage.
