careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" (4 cm) (C) oftank
space for fuel expansion.
3. Installfuelcap and waitfor anyspilled fuelto evaporate.
CAUTION!Alcohol-blended fuels (calledgasohoI,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 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.
HighAltitude
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
increasedemissions. Seea qualified Searsdealer for high
altitude adjustment information. Operationof the engine at
altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude
kit is not recommended.

EHGINETECHNICALINFORMATIOH PRODUCTSPECIFICATIOHS
This is a single cylinder, L-head,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 modelsis
labeledin accordancewith SAE(Societyof Automotive
Engineers)code J1940 (Small EnginePower& Torque Rating
Procedure),and rating performancehasbeen obtainedand
correctedin accordancewith SAEJ1995 (Revision 2002-05).
Torquevaluesare derivedat 3060 RPM;horsepower values
are derivedat 3600 RPM.Actualgross engine powerwill be
lower and is affected by, among otherthings, ambient
operatingconditions and engine-to-enginevariability. Given
both the wide arrayof products on which enginesare placed
andthe varietyof environmental issuesapplicableto
operatingthe equipment,the gas enginewill not developthe
ratedgross power when usedin a givenpiece of power
equipment (actual "on-site"or net power). This differenceis
dueto a variety of factors including, but not limited to,
accessories(air cleaner,exhaust,charging, cooling,
carburetor,fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient
operatingconditions (temperature,humidity, altitude), and
engine-to-enginevariability. Dueto manufacturingand
capacitylimitations, Briggs & Stratton maysubstitute an
engineof higher ratedpowerfor this Seriesengine.

All serviceand adjustments should be madeat least once
eachseason.Follow the requirementsin the Maintenance
Schedulechart above.
NOTE:Onceayear you should clean or replacethe spark
plug and replacethe air filter. A new spark plug and clean air
filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.

DONOTattempt any oil maintenanceon this pump. The
pump is pre-lubricated and sealedfrom the factory, requiring
no additional maintenancefor the life of the pump.
EmissionsControl
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions
control devices and systems may be performedby any non-
road engine repair establishment or individual. However,
to obtain "no charge" emissions control service, the work
must be performed by a Searsor other qualified service
dealer.Seethe Emissions Warranty.
Before Each Use

Spark Arrester Service
Your engine is not factory-equipped with a spark arrester. In
some areas,it is illegal to operatean engine without a spark
arrester. Checklocal laws and regulations. A spark arrester is
availablefrom your nearest Searsservicecenter. If you need
to order a spark arrester, pleasecall 1-SOO-4-F,,IY-HOF,,IE
(46g-4663).
Thespark arrester must be serviced every 50 hours to keepit
functioning as designed.
If the engine has been running,the muffler will be very hot.
Allow the muffler to cool before servicing the spark arrester.
