WHENADDINGFUEL

• Turn pressurewasher engineOFFand let it cool at least 2

minutes before removingfuel cap. Loosencap slowly to relieve

pressure 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.

• Checkfuel lines,tank, cap andfittings frequently for cracks or

leaks. Replaceif necessary.

• DONOTlight a cigaretteor smoke.

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).

1. Cleanarea around fuel fill cap, removecap.

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

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

spacefor fuel expansion.

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

CAUTION! Alcohol-blendedfuels (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 avoidengine problems, the fuel system should betreated

with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage 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 thefuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel

lines and carburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season.

See Storagefor additional information.

NEVERuseengine or carburetor cleanerproducts in thefuel

tank as permanentdamagemay occur.

HighAllude

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@ FuelCap

The FreshStart@fuel cap (D) is designedto hold a

cartridge (E) which contains fuel preserver.Adding fuel

preserver helps keepfuel fresh and carburetors cleanfor

easierstarting all season long. TheFresh Start@fuel cap, if

equippedwith a cartridge, automatically drips concentrated

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

yourself.

NOTICE FreshStart@fuel preserver cartridge is availableas

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

with the pressurewasher. Contacttheoriginal equipment

manufacturer,retailer, or dealerto obtain a cartridge designed

for the FreshStart@fuel cap installed on this engine.

Readand follow all instructions and warnings given in the

FreshStart@fuel preserver cartridge package.

LubricateO-Rings

Lubricationof o-rings isextremely importantfor 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 (A),

high pressure hose(B), spray gun (C), andnozzle

extension(D).

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.

ENGINETECHNICALiNFORMATiON

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

engine, it is a low emissions engine.

In the State of California, Model 120000enginesare 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.

PowerRatings

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 valuesare 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 andis affected by, among other things,

ambient operating conditions andengine-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 avariety 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.
