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.
DONOTmixoil in 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.
.
2.
Cleanarea around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
Slowly add regular unleadedfuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be
careful not to overfill. To allow for fuel expansion, do not
fill abovethe bottom of thefuel tank neck.
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 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 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 (C) is designedto hold a
cartridge (O)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 tank so you don't haveto add it
'ourself.
NOTE:FreshStart®fuel preserver cartridge is availableasan
optional accessory, retail item 7133386. It is not included
with the pressure washer. Contactthe original equipment
manufacturer, retailer, or dealerto obtain acartridge
designed for the FreshStart® fuel cap installedon this
engine.

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 RPIVI.Actual gross
engine power will be lower and is affectedby, 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 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 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.
NOTE: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-lubricated and 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

DO NOTtouch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
Allow equipment to cool beforetouching.
Keepat least5 feet (152 cm) of clearanceon all sidesof
pressure washer including overhead.
It isa violation of California Public Resource Code,Section
4442, to use or operatethe engine on anyforest-covered,
brush-covered,or grass-covered land unless the exhaust
system is equippedwith aspark arrester,as defined in Section

Contactthe original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or dealer
to obtain a sparkarrester designedfor the exhaustsystem
installedon this engine.
Replacementparts must bethe sameand installed in the same
position as the original parts.
Air Cooling System
Overtime debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and
cannot be observedwithout partial engine disassembly. For
this reason,we recommendyou havea qualifiedSears
servicedealer cleanthe cooling system per recommended
intervals (see MaintenanceSchedule). Equallyimportant is to
keeptop of engine freefrom debris. See CleanDebris.
Carburetor Adjustment
Thecarburetor on this engine is low emission. It is equipped
with a non-adjustable idle mixture valve.Top speedhas been
set at the factory. If adjustment is required,seean authorized
servicedealer.
_i, CAUTION Excessively high operating speeds increase
risk of injury and damage to pressure washer.
Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.
DO NOTtamper with governedspeed.Pressurewasher
supplies correct ratedfrequency and voltage when running at
governedspeed.
DO NOTmodify pressure washer in any way.
AFTEREACHUSE
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
