middle section of the attachment bolt, the upper handle
can fold forward to store flat atop the cold engine. Note:
DONOTfold the handle down while the engine is hot.
Placeaccessorytray (F) over holes (G) on handle
(viewing from back of unit). Pushthe tree clips (N) into
the holes until they sit flat againstthe accessorytray.

Clips in the back of accessorytray should slide into the
grooves on the inside surface of hose wrap. Slide hose
wrap on back of accessorytray and rotate 1/8 turn until
"locked"icon (E) is in vertical position. Hosewrap is
easily removed from the accessorytray for wrapping and
unwrapping ofthe high pressure hose. A clip to secure
the hose on the reel makesit easyto wrap the hose
while it is detachedfrom the accessorytray.

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

1. Cleanarea around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add regular unleadedfuel (A) to fuel tank (U). Be
careful notto overfill. Allow about 1.5" (4 cm) (g) of tank
spacefor fuel expansion.
3. Installfuel cap and waitfor any spilledfuelto evaporate.
CAUTION!Alcohol-blended fuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leadsto separation and
formation of acids during storage.Acidic gascan damagethe
fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.
Toavoid engine 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 the fuel tank, start the engineand let it run until the fuel
linesand carburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season.
SeeStoragefor additional information.
NEVERuse engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damagemay occur.
HighAItitMe
At altitudes over5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum
85 octane/ 85 AKI (89 RON)gasoline is acceptable.To
remainemissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operationwithout this adjustment will cause
decreasedperformance, increased fuel 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.

EHGINETECHNICALJNFORMATIOH PRODUCTSPECIFICATiOHS
This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV),air cooled
engine, it is a low emissions engine.
Inthe Stateof 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 performance or
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
labeledin accordancewith SAE(Societyof Automotive
Engineers)codeJ1940 (Small Engine Power & 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.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 array of products on which
enginesare placedand the 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-engine variability. Dueto
manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton
maysubstitute an engine of higher ratedpower for this
Seriesengine.
This pressurewasher is rated in accordanceto the Pressure
Washer Manufacture Association (PWMA) standard PW101
(Testingand Rating Performanceof PressureWashers).

General Recommendations
Regularmaintenancewill improve the performanceand
extend the life of the pressure washer. Seeany Searsor
other qualified service dealerfor service.
The pressure washer warranty does not cover items that
havebeensubjectedto operator abuse or negligence. To
receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must
maintain pressure washer as instructed in this manual
including proper storage as detailedin Storage.
Someadjustments will needto be madeperiodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer.
All service and adjustments should be madeat least once
eachseason. Followthe requirements in the Maintenance
Schedulechart above.
NOTE:Oncea yearyou should clean or replacethe spark
plug and replacethe air filter. A newspark plug and cleanair
filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.
Pump Oil
DONOTattempt any oil maintenanceon this pump. The
pump is pro-lubricated and sealedfrom the factory, requiring
no additional maintenancefor the life of the pump.
EmissionsControl
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions
control devicesand systemsmay be performedby any non-
road engine repair establishmentor individual. However,
to obtain "no charge" emissions control service, the work
must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.Seethe
Emissions Warranty.
Before Each Use
1. Checkengine oil level.
2. Cleandebris.
3. Checkwater inlet screen for damage.
4. Checkhigh pressure hose for leaks.
5. Checkgun and nozzleextension assembly for leaks.
6. Purge pump of air and contaminants.

PRESSUREWASHERMAINTENANCE
Clean Debris
Daily or before use, cleanaccumulated debris from pressure
washer. Keeplinkage, spring and controls clean. Keeparea
around and behind muffler free from any combustible debris.
Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the pressure
washer.These openings must be kept cleanand
unobstructed.
Pressurewasher parts should be kept cleanto reducethe
risk of overheatingand ignition of accumulated debris.
Usea damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
Usea soft bristle brush to loosen cakedon dirt, oil, etc.
