fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid 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 preserveris not used,
drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel
linesand carburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel nextseason.
SeeStoragefor additional information.
NEVERuseengine 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)gasoline is acceptable.To remain
emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required.
Operationwithout this adjustment will cause decreased
performance, increasedfuel consumption, and increased
emissions. Seea qualified Searsdealerfor high altitude
adjustment information. Operation of the engineat 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, Model90000 engines are 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 models is
labeledin accordancewith SAE(Societyof Automotive
Engineers)code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque
Rating Procedure),and rating performance has been
obtained andcorrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995
(Revision2002-05). Torquevalues are derived at3060 RPM;
horsepower values are derivedat 3600 RPM.Actual gross
engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other
things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine
variability. Given both the wide array of products on which
enginesare placedand the variety of environmental issues
applicableto operatingthe equipment, the gas engine will not
developthe ratedgross power when used in a given piece of
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-engine variability. Due to
manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton
maysubstitute an engine of higher rated power for this
Seriesengine.

Pump Oil
DONOTattempt any oil maintenance on this pump. The
pump is pre-lubricated and sealed from the factory, requiring
no additional maintenancefor the life of the pump.
EmissionsControl
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions
controldevicesand systems may be performedby any non-

to obtain "no charge" emissions control service, the work
must be performed by a qualified service dealer. Seethe

Before Each Use
1. Checkengine oil level.
2. Cleandebris.
3. Checkwater inlet screen for damage.
4. Checkhigh pressure hose for leaks.

Regularmaintenancewill improve the performance and
extendthe life of the pressure washer. Seeany Searsor
other qualified service dealerfor service.
Thepressure washer warranty doesnot cover items that
havebeen subjectedto operator abuse or negligence.To
receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must
maintain pressure washer as instructed in this manual
including proper storage as detailedin Storage.
Someadjustments will needto be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer.
All service and adjustments should be madeat least once
eachseason. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance
Schedulechart above.
NOTE:Oncea year 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.
Clean Debris
Daily or before use,clean accumulated debris from pressure
washer. Keeplinkage, spring and controls clean. Keeparea
around and behind muffler free from any combustible debris.
Inspect cooling air slots andopenings on the pressure
washer. Theseopenings must bekept clean and
unobstructed.
Pressurewasher parts should be kept cleanto reducethe
risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated debris.
* Usea dampcloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
