NOTICE Improper treatment of pressure washer can
damage it and shorten its life.
• DO NOTattempt to crank or start the engine beforeit has been
properly servicedwith the recommended oil. This may result in an
enginefailure.
Fuelmustmeet theserequirements:
• Clean,fresh, unleadedgasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87AKI (91 RON).For 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 pressurewasher damage.
Failureto follow Operator's Manualfor fuel
recommendationsvoids warranty.

3. Install fuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.
CAUTION!Alcohol-blendedfuels (called gasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture,which leads to separation and
formation of acidsduring storage.Acidic gascan damagethe
fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should betreated
with afuel preserver or emptied beforestorage of 30days 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.
SeeStoragefor additional information.
NEVERuseengine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damage may 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
increased emissions. Seea qualified Sears dealerfor high
altitude adjustmentinformation. Operation of the engineat
altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude
kit is not recommended.

ENGINETECHNICALINFORMATION
This is a single cylinder, L-head,air cooled engine. It is a low
emissions engine.
In the State of 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 respect to 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
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 RPIVI.Actual gross
engine power will be lower and is affectedby, 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 enginewill not
developthe rated gross power when used in a given piece of
power equipment (actual "on-site"or net power). This
difference is due to avariety 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 Manufacturers Association (PWIVIA)standard PW101
(Testing and Rating Performanceof PressureWashers).

PRESSUREWASHERMAINTENANCE
• Changeengine oil
• Inspect muffler and spark arrester
• Service spark plug
• Air cooling systeW
Clean if clogged. Replace if perforated or torn.
2Service more often under dirty or dusty conditions.
GeneralRecommendations
Regular maintenancewill improve the performance and
extend the life of the pressure washer.See any Searsor
other qualifiedservice dealerfor service.
The pressurewasher warranty doesnot cover items that
havebeen subjectedto operator abuseor negligence.To
receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must
maintain pressurewasher as instructed in this manual
including proper storage as detailed in Storage.
Someadjustments will needto bemade periodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer.
All serviceand adjustments should be made at least once
eachseason.Follow the requirements in the Maintenance
Schedulechart above.
NOTE:Oncea year you should clean or replace the spark
plug and replacethe air filter. A new spark plug andcleanair
filter assure properfuel-air mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.
Clean Debris
Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris from cleaning
system. Keeplinkage,spring and controls clean. Keeparea
around and behind muffler free from any combustible debris.
Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the pressure
washer. Theseopenings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
Cleaningsystem parts should be kept cleanto reducethe risk
of overheating and ignition of accumulateddebris.
• Usea damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
NOTICE Improper treatment of pressure washer can
damageit and shorten its life.
• DONOTinsertanyobjectsthroughcoolingslots.
