,A WARNING POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine

exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous

_gas that could kill in minutes. You CANNOT

you

smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not

smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon

monoxide gas.

Some chemicals or detergents could be harmful if inhaled

or ingested, resulting in death, serious injury, nausea,

fainting or poisoning.

• Operatethis product ONLYoutside far awayfrom windows,

doors and vents to reducethe risk of carbonmonoxide gas

from accumulating and potentially being drawn towards occu-

pied spaces.

• install battery-operatedcarbon monoxidealarms or plug-in car-

bon monoxide alarms with battery back-upaccording to the

manufacturer's instructions. Smoke alarms cannot detect car-

bon monoxide gas.

• DO NOTrun this product inside homes, garages,basements,

crawlspaces, sheds,or other partially-enclosed spaceseven if

using fans or openingdoors and windows for ventilation.

Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these spacesand can

linger for hours, evenafter this product has shut off.

• ALWAYSplacethis product downwind and pointthe engine

exhaustawayfrom occupied spaces.

If you startto feel sick, dizzy,or weakwhile using this product,

shut it off and get to fresh air RIGHTAWAY.Seea doctor. You

may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Usea respirator or maskwheneverthere is a chancethat

vapors may be inhaledwhen using chemicals.

• Readall instructions with mask soyou arecertain the mask will

provide the necessary protection against inhaling harmful

vapors when using chemicals.

_i_WARNING ChemicalBurn Hazard.

Chemicalscould cause burns resulting in death

or serious injury.

• DO NOTuse caustic liquid with pressure washer.

• Use ONLYpressurewasher safe detergents/soaps. Followall

manufacturers instructions.

,& WARNING Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) will

pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you

,_can let go which could cause broken bones,

fractures, bruises, or sprains resulting in serious

injury.

• NEVERpull starter cord without first relieving spraygun

pressure.

• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance isfelt

andthen pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

• After eachstarting attempt, where enginefails to run, always

point spray gun in safe direction, pressred button and squeeze

spray gun trigger to releasehigh pressure.

5. Replaceoil fill cap/dipstick and fully tighten.

Add Fuel

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 (gasohol)is acceptable.

NOTICE Useof unapprovedfuels could damagepressure

washer and voids warranty.

• DONOTuseunapprovedgasolinesuchasE15andE85.

• DONOTmixoilingasolineor modifyenginetorunonalternatefuels.

,A WARNING Fueland its vaporsareextremelyflammable

andexplosivewhich could causeburns,

fire or explosionresulting in deathor

seriousinjury.

WHENADDINGFUEL

• Turn pressurewasher engineOFFand let it cool at least 2

minutes before removingfuel cap. Loosencap slowly to relieve

pressure in tank.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors.

• DONOToverfill tank. Allow spacefor fuel expansion.

• Iffuel 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 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).

1. Cleanarea around fuel fill cap, removecap.

2. Slowly add regular unleadedfuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be

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

spacefor fuel expansion.

3. install fuel capand wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.

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 thefuel 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 thefuel

tank as permanentdamagemay 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 wiii 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.

Lubricate O-Rings

Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation

and operation.The useof a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic

grease)during assembly helps seato-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.

NOTICE ALWAYSapplya small amount of lubricant on o-

rings prior to assembling the gardenhoseto the pump

inlet (D), high pressure hose to pump outlet (E), high

pressure hose(F), spray gun (G), and nozzleextension(H).

Lubricate all connectionsshownbelow, following these

instructions:

1. inspect and clean connecting surfacesprior 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).

ConnectHoseandWater Supplyto Pump

NOTICE DONOTrun the pump without the water supply

connectedand turned on.

ENGINETECHNICALiNFORMATiON

This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV), air cooled

engine. In the State of California, Model 250000engines are

certified bythe CaliforniaAir ResourcesBoard to meet

emissions standardsfor 250 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.

PowerRatings

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 valuesare 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 arecollectedwithout these attachments.Actual

gross engine power will be higher than net engine power and

is affected by, among other things, ambient operating

conditions and engine-to-enginevariability. Giventhe wide

array of products on which enginesare placed, the gas

engine maynot developthe ratedgross power when used in

a given pieceof power equipment. This difference is dueto a

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

engine components (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.
