Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL
o Turn pressure washer OFFand let it cool at least 2 minutes
before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve
pressure in tank.
o Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors.
o DO NOToverfill tank. Allow spacefor fuel expansion.
o If fuel spills, wait until it evaporatesbefore starting engine.
o Keepfuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat,
andother ignition sources.
o DO NOTlight a cigarette or smoke.
WHENSTARTINGEQUIPMENT
o Ensure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap, andair cleaner are in
place.
o DO NOTcrankengine with spark plug removed.
WHENOPERATINGEQUIPMENT
o DO NOTtip engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel to
spill.
o DO NOTspray flammable liquids.
WHENTRANSPORTINGOR REPAIRINGEQUIPMENT
o Transport/repair with fuel tank EMPTYor with fuel shutoff
valve OFF.
o Disconnect spark plug wire.
WHENSTORINGFUELOR EQUIPMENTWITH FUELIN TANK
o Store away from furnaces, stoves,water heaters,clothes
dryers, or other appliances that have pilot light or other
ignition source becausethey can ignite fuel vapors.
WARHIHG
_¢ Risk of electrocution.
Contact with power source can cause electric
shock or burn.
o NEVERspray nearpower source.
Startercord kickback(rapid retraction) can result
in bodily injury. Kickbackwill pull handand arm
_,1_ toward engine faster than you can let go.
Brokenbones, fractures, bruises, or sprains
could result.
o NEVERpull starter cord without first relieving spray gun
pressure.
o When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt
andthen pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
o After each starting attempt, where engine fails to run, always
point spray gun in safe direction and squeezespray gun trigger
to releasehigh pressure. Engagespray gun trigger lock.
o Firmly grasp spray gun with both handswhen using high
pressure sprayto avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
WARHIHG
._ Use of pressure washer can create puddles and
slippery surfaces.
_1_ Kickback from spray gun can cause you to fall.
o Operatepressure washer from astable surface.
o Thecleaning area should haveadequateslopes and drainageto

EHGINETECHNICALINFORMATIOH PRODUCTSPECIFICATiOHS
This is asingle cylinder, L-head,air cooled engine. It is a low
emissions engine.
Inthe Stateof California, ModelSeries 120000 enginesare
certified by the CaliforniaAir ResourcesBoardto meet
emissions standardsfor 125 hours. Suchcertification does
not grant the purchaser,owner or operator of this engineany
additional warranties with respectto the performance or
operational life of this engine.Theengine is warranted solely
according to the product and emmisions warrantiesstated
elsewherein this manual.
Power Ratings
* The gross power rating for individual gasengine 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). Actual gross engine power will be lower
and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating
conditions and engine-to-enginevariability. Givenboth the
wide array of products on which enginesare placedand the
variety of environmental issues applicableto operatingthe
equipment,the gasengine will not developthe rated gross
power when used in a given pieceof powerequipment
(actual"on-site"or net horsepower). This difference is dueto
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 may substitute an engine of
higher rated powerfor this Seriesengine.

changeintervals.
SAE30: 40°Fand higher (5°C and higher) isgood for all
purpose useabove40°F, usebelow 40°F will cause hard
starting.
10W-30: Oto lO0°F(-18 to 38°C) is better for varying
temperatureconditions. This viscosity improves cold weather
starting, but may increase oil consumption above80°F
(27°C).
*Check oil levelfrequently at higher temperatures.
Synthetic 5W-30:-20 to 120°F(-30 to 40 °C) provides the
best protection at alltemperatures as well as improved
starting with less oil consumption.
5W-30: 40°Fand below (5°Cand below) is recommendedfor
