EN61NETECHNICALiNFORMATiON

This is a single cylinder, L-head,air cooledengine, it is a low

emissions engine.

Jnthe State of CaJJfornia,ModeJ120000 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 RaUn[Is

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 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 Manufacture Association (PWMA) standard PW101

(Testing and Rating Performanceof PressureWashers).

LOHGTERM STORAGE

If you do not plan to usethe pressure washer for morethan

30 days,you must preparethe engine and pump for long

term storage.

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in

essentialfuel system parts such asthe carburetor, fuel filter,

fuel hoseor tank during storage.Also, experienceindicates

that alcohol-blendedfuels (called gasohol, ethanol or

methanol) canattract moisture, which leadsto separation

and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gascan

damagethefuel system of an enginewhile in storage.

ProtectFuelSystem

FuelAdditive:

Fuelcan becomestale when stored over 30 days.Stalefuel

causesacid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or

on essentialcarburetor parts. To keepfuel fresh, use Briggs

& Stratton FRESHSTART® fuel stabilizer, availableasa

liquid additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.

Thereis noneedto drain gasolinefrom the engine if a fuel

stabilizer is added according to instructions. Runthe engine

for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizerthroughout the fuel

system. The engine andfuel canthen be stored up to

24 months.

If gasoline in the engine hasnot beentreated with a fuel

stabilizer, it must be drained into an approvedcontainer. Run

the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The useof a fuel

stabilizer in the storage container is recommendedto

maintain freshness.

flOTICE: You must protect your unit from freezing

temperatures.

• Failureto do so will permanently damage your pump and render

your unit inoperable.
