• 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

• Turnpressure washerOFFand let it cool at least2 minutes

before removing fuel cap. Loosen capslowly 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.

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

CAUTION! Alcohol-blended fuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or

methanol) canattract moisture, which leadsto separation and

formation of acids during storage.Acidic gascandamagethe

fuel system of an enginewhile 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 tiffed, 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.

SeeStoragefor 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 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.

Fresh Start@ Fuel Cap

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

cartridge (D)which contains fuel preserver.Adding fuel

preserver helps keepfuel fresh and carburetors cleanfor

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

equippedwith acartridge, automatically drips concentrated

fuel preserver into your fuel tank so you don't haveto add it

yourself.

NOTICE FreshStart@fuel preservercartridge is availableas

ENGINETECHNICALiNFORMATiON

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

engine, 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 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 values are derived at 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 arrayof products on which

enginesare placed andthe variety of environmental issues

applicableto 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

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.

GeneralRecommendations

Regularmaintenancewill improve the performanceand

extendthe life of the pressurewasher. Seeany Searsor

other qualified service dealerfor service.

Thepressure washer warranty does not cover items that

havebeensubjected to operator abuseor negligence.To

receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must

maintain pressurewasher as instructed in this manual

including proper storage asdetailed in Storage.

Someadjustments will needto be made periodically to

properly maintain your 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.

PumpOil

DONOTattemptany oil maintenanceon this pump. The

pump is pre-iubricated and sealedfrom the factory, requiring

no additional maintenancefor the life of the pump.

EmissionsControl
