Add Fuel
Fuel mustmeet these requirements:
* Clean,fresh, unleadedgasoline.
* A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON).High altitude
use, see HighAltitude.
* Gasolinewith up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15%
MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
NOTICE'.Avoid pressurewasher damage.
Failureto follow Operator's Manual for fuel
recommendations voids warranty.
* DONOTuseunapprovedgasolinesuchasE85.
* DONOTmixoil in gasoline.
* DONOTmodifyengineto runonalternatefuels.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel
stabilizerwhen adding fuel. SeeStorage.Aii 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).
_. WARNING:Fueland its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fireor explosion can causesevere burns
or death.
WHENADDINGFUEL
* Turn pressure washer OFFand let it cool at least2 minutes
before removing fuel cap. Loosencapslowly to relieve pressure
in tank.
* Fillfuel tank outdoors.
* DONOToverfill tank. Allow spacefor fuel expansion.
. If fuel spills, wait until it evaporatesbefore starting engine.
. Keepfuel awayfrom sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
. DONOTlight a cigarette or smoke.
3. install fuel cap and wait for anyspilled fuel to evaporate.
CAUTION! Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leadsto separation and
formation of acids during storage.Acidic gascandamagethe
fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.
To avoid engineproblems, the fuel system should be treated
with a fuel preserveror emptied beforestorage of 30 days or
longer. If adding a fuel preserver,fill the fuel tank with fresh
fuel. if only partially tiffed, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. If fuel preserver is not used,
drain the fuel tank, start the engineand let it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season.
See Storage for additional information.
NEVERuse engine 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 causedecreased
performance, 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.

ForRinsing:
1. Slide nozzle backward to high pressure, press trigger
and wait for detergent to clear.
NOTE:You can also stop detergentflow by removing
detergent siphoning tube from container.
2. Keepspray gun a safedistance from areayou plan to
spray.
A WARNING: Kickback from spray gun can cause you to
fall.
• Operatepressure washer from a stable surface.
• Beextremely careful if you must usethe pressure washer from
a ladder, scaffolding, or any other similar location.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both handswhen using high
pressure sprayto avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
3. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area,then check
surfacefor damage. If no damageis found, it is okay to
continue cleaning.
4. Start attop of areato be rinsed, working down with
same overlapping strokes as you used for washing and
applying detergent.
Cleaning Detergent Siphoning Tube
If you usedthe detergent siphoning tube, you must flush it
with cleanwater beforestopping the engine.
1. Placedetergent siphoning tube/filter in a bucketfull of
cleanwater.
2. Engagetrigger lock on spray gun.
3. Slide adjustable nozzleforward to low pressure position.
4. Flushfor 1-2 minutes.
5. Shut off engine following instructions Howto Stop
Pressure Washerandturn off water supply.
6. ALWAYS point gun in a safe direction andsqueezespray
gun trigger to releaseretainedhigh water pressure.
IMPORTANT:Spraygun traps high water pressure,evenwhen
engineisstopped andwater isdisconnected.
_. WARNING:The high pressurestream of water that this
its underlying tissues, leading to serious injury

ENGINETECHNICALINFORMATION
This is a single cylinder, L-head,air cooledengine. It is a low
emissions engine.
Jnthe State of CaJJfornia,ModeJ90000 enginesare certified
by the CaliforniaAir Resources Boardto meet emissions
standardsfor 125hours. Such certification does not grant
the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any
additional warranties with respect to the performanceor
operational life of this engine.Theengine is warranted solely
according to the product and emissions warranties stated
elsewherein this manual.
Power RaUn[Is
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.Actual gross
engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other
things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine
variability. Givenboth the wide arrayof products on which
enginesare placed andthe variety of environmental issues
applicableto operating the equipment,the gas engine will not
developthe rated gross power when used in a given pieceof
power equipment (actual "on-site"or net power). This
difference is dueto 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-enginevariability. Dueto
manufacturing andcapacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton
may substitute an engine of higher ratedpower for this
Seriesengine.
This pressurewasher is rated in accordanceto the Pressure
Washer Manufacture Association (PWMA) standard PW101
(Testing and Rating Performanceof PressureWashers).
