Fuel must meet these requirements:

* Clean,fresh, unleadedgasoline.

* A minimum of 87 octane/87AKI (91 RON).For high

altitude use, see HighAltitude.

° Gasolinewith upto 10% ethanol (gas@@ is acceptable.

NOTICE Use of unapproved fuels could damage pressure

washer and voids warranty.

DONOTmixoil ingasolineor modifyengineto run onalternatefuels.

,a, WARNING Fueland its vapors are extremely flammable

and explosive which could cause burns,

fire or explosion resulting in death or

serious injury.

WHENADDING FUEL

Turn pressurewasher engineOFFandlet it cool at least 2

minutes before removingfuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve

pressure in tank.

Fiii fuel tank outdoors.

* DONOToverfill tank. Allow spacefor fuel expansion.

oif fuel spills, wait until it evaporatesbefore starting engine.

Keepfuel awayfrom sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat,and

other ignition sources.

Checkfuel lines,tank, cap andfittings frequently for cracks or

leaks. Replaceif necessary.

DONOTlight a cigaretteor smoke.

To protectthe fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel

stabilizerwhen adding fuel. See Storage.All fuel is not the

same.if you experiencestarting or performance problems

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).

1. Cleanareaaround fuel fill cap, removecap.

2. Slowly add regular unleadedfuel (H) to fuel tank (S).Be

careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" (4 cm) (K) of tank

space for fuel expansion.

3. Installfuelcapandletanyspilledfuelevaporatebefore

startingengine.

CAUTION! Alcohol-blendedfuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or

methanol) can attract moisture, which leadsto separationand

formation of acids during storage.Acidic gascan damagethe

fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.

To avoidengine 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 engine and let it run until the fuel

lines and carburetor are empty, Usefresh fuel next season.

See Storagefor additional information.

NEVERuseengine or carburetor cleanerproducts in the fuel

tank as permanent damagemay occur.

At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum

85 octane/ 85 AKI (89 RON)gasoline is acceptable.To

remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is

required. Operationwithout this adjustment will cause

decreasedperformance, increasedfuel consumption, and

increased emissions. Seea qualified Searsdealer for high

altitude adjustment information. Operationof the engineat

altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude

kit is not recommended.

Lubricate OoRings

Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation

and operation_The useof a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic

grease)during assembly helps seat o-rings properly and

provides an improved seal. it alsohelps protect the o-ring

from damageby abrasion, pinching or cutting and extends

the life of the o-ring_

HOT/CE ALWAYSapply a small amount of lubricant on

o-rings prior to assemblingthe garden hoseto the pump (A),

high pressurehose (B),spray gun (C), and nozzle

extension(t}).

Lubricateaii cenne¢_iensshewn beiew, feiiewing _hese

instruc_iens:

1. inspect and clean connecting surfaces prior to

lubrication and assembly.

2_ Uselubricants sparingly during assembly;a light film is

all that is required.

3. Usea small brush or cotton swab to applygrease

directly to o-rings wherethey are not accessible (QC

fitting, M22 fitting)_

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.Thegross

power curves can beviewed at

www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM.Net power values are

taken with exhaust and air cleanerinstalled whereas gross

power values are collectedwithout these attachments.Actual

gross engine power will be higher than net engine power and

is affected by, among other things, ambientoperating

conditions and engine-to-enginevariability. Giventhe wide

array of products on which enginesare placed,the gas

engine may not developthe ratedgross power when used in

a given pieceof power equipment. This difference is due to a

variety of factors including, but not limited to. the variety of

engine components (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling,

carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application imitations, 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.

maintain pressurewasher as instructed in this manual

including proper storage as detailedin Storage.

Someadjustments will needto be made periodically to

properly maintain your pressure washer.

All serviceand adjustments should be made at bast once

eachseason.Follow the requirementsin the Maintenance

Schedulechart above.

NOtiCE Oncea year you should dean or replacethe spark

plug and replacethe air filter. A new spark plug and dean air

filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run

better and last longer.

Pump Oil

DONOTattempt any oil maintenanceon this pump. The
