Attach Detergent Siphon Hose to Pump

Thepressure washer is equipped with two detergent siphoning hoses.One is attachedto the cleaningtank and one is loosefor siphoning pressure washer safe detergents

from a bottle or container. Attach one of the detergent siphon hoses (A) to the barbed

hose fitting (B) on the pump.

Add Fuel

Fuelmust meet theserequirements:

* Clean,fresh, unleadedgasoline.

* A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON).High altitude

use, see High Altitude.

* Gasolinewith up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15%

MTBE(methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.

NOTICE

Avoid pressure washer damage. Failureto follow Operator's Manualfor fuel

recommendations voids warranty.

DONOTuseunapprovedgasolinesuchas E85. DONOTmixoil in gasoline.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel stabilizer when 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 operate on gasoline. The

emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine

Modifications).

2. Slowly add regular unleadedfuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" (4 cm) (C) oftank space for fuel expansion.

3. Installfuel cap and wait for any spilled fuelto evaporate.

CAUTION!Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohoI, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can 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 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 modelsis labeledin accordancewith SAE(Society of Automotive

Engineers)code J1940 (Small EnginePower& Torque Rating

Procedure),and rating performance has been obtainedand correctedin accordancewith SAEJ1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torquevaluesare derivedat 3060 RPM;horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM.Actual gross 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 variety of environmental issues applicableto operatingthe equipment,the gas enginewill not developthe

ratedgross power when used in 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 Series engine.

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 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.
