Your pressure washer requires some assembly and is ready for useonly after it has been properly serviced with the
recommendedoil and fuel.
If you haveany problemswith the assembly of your pressurewasher, please call the pressurewasher helpline
at 1-800-222-3136. IMPORTANT:Any attempt to run the engine before it has
been servicedwith the recommended oil will result in an engine failure.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel stabilizer when adding fuel. See Storage.All fuel is notthe
same. If you experiencestarting or performance problems 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. Cleanareaaround fuel fill cap, removecap.
2. Slowlyadd regular unleadedfuel to fuel tank. Becareful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" (38 mm) of tank space
for fuel expansion.
I NOTICE 1
DO NOTattempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recommended oil. This may result in an engine failure.
,
Replace oil fill cap/dipstick and fully tighten.
Add Fuel
Fuelmust meettheserequirements:
Clean,fresh, unleadedgasoline.
A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). Highaltitude use,see"High AIItitude" on page9.
Gasolinewith up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15% MTBE(methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
I NOTICE 1
DO NOTuse unapproved gasoline such as E85. DO NOTmix oil in fuel.
DO NOTmodify engine to run on alternatefuels.

3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before starting engine.
CAUTION! Alcohol-blendedfuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or
methanol) canattract moisture, which leadsto separationand
formation of acids during storage.Acidic gas candamagethe fuel system ofanengine while in storage.
To avoid engine performance issues,the fuel system should
betreated with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. To protect the fuel system from gum formation, use Briggs & Stratton FRESHSTARTTM fuel stabilizer plus, or FRESHSTARTTM continuous fuel preserver
(concentrated liquid cartridge). If fuel preserver is not used,
drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel
linesand carburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season.
See"Storage" on page21 for additional information.
NEVERuseengine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.
HighAltitude
At higher altitudes (over5,000 feet), 85 octane/85 AKI (89 RON)gasoline is recommended. High-altitude usemay require a carburetor jet kit to improve performance and decreasefuel consumption. Seeany Sears or qualified dealer
for more information.

ENGINETECHNICALINFORMATION
This is a single cylinder, L-head,air cooled engine. It is a low emissions engine.
Inthe Stateof California, ModelSeries90000 engines are
certified by the CaliforniaAir ResourcesBoardto meet emissions standards for 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. Theengineis warranted solely according to the product and emissions warranties stated
elsewherein this manual.
Power Ratings
* The gross power rating for individual gasengine models is
labeledin accordance with SAE(Societyof Automotive
Engineers)code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure),and rating performance has been
obtained andcorrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995
(Revision2002-05). Actual gross engine power will be lower
and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-enginevariability. Givenboth the wide array of products on which enginesare placedand the
variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment,the gasengine will not developthe rated gross
power when used in a given piece of powerequipment
(actual"on-site"or net horsepower). 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 may substitute an engine of
higher rated power for this Seriesengine.

GENERALRECOMMENDATIONS
Regular maintenancewill improve the performanceand extendthe life of the pressure washer. Seeany qualified
Searsdealerfor service. Thepressurewasher warranty does not cover items that have
beensubjectedto operatorabuse or negligence.To receive full valuefrom the warranty, the operator must maintain pressure washeras instructed in this manualincluding proper storage asdetailed in "Storage" on page21.
Someadjustments will needto be madeperiodically to properly maintain your pressure washer.
All service and adjustments should be made at least once eachseason. Follow the requirements in the "Maintenance
Schedule" chart above. NOTE:Oncea year you should clean or replace the spark
plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and helpyour engine run
better and last longer.
EMiSSiONCONTROL
Maintenance, replacementor repair of the emission control devicesand systems may be performed by any non-road engine repair establishment or individual.
Before Each Use
1. Checkengine oil level.
2. Cleandebris.
3. Checkwaterinlet screenfor damage.
4. Checkin-line filter for damage.
5. Checkhigh pressure hose for leaks.
6. Checkdetergentsiphoning tube/filter for damage.
7. Checkgunand nozzleextension assembly for leaks.
8. Rinseout garden hoseto flush out debris.
PRESSUREWASHERMAINTENANCE
Clean Debris
Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris from pressure washer. Keeplinkage, spring and controls clean. Keeparea around and behind muffler free from anycombustible debris.
Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the pressure washer. Theseopenings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
Pressurewasher parts should be kept clean to reducethe
risk of overheatingand ignition of accumulated debris.
Useadamp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
Useasoft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.

Check and Clean Inlet Screen
Examinethe screen on the pump's water inlet. Cleanif it is clogged or replaceif it is torn.
Check High Pressure Hose
High pressure hoses can developleaksfrom wear, kinking, or abuse, inspect hose before each use.Checkfor cuts,
leaks,abrasions, bulging of cover, or damage or movement of couplings. If any of these conditions exist, replacehose
immediately.
4. Assemblenozzleextensionto spray gun, as described earlier in manual.
Hozzle Maintenance
A pulsing sensationfelt while squeezingthe spray gun
trigger may be caused by excessivepump pressure. The
principal cause of excessivepump pressure is a orifice clogged or restricted with foreign materials, such asdirt, etc. Tocorrect the problem, immediately clean the orifice following these instructions:
1. Shutoff engine and turn off water supply.
2. ALWAYSpoint gun in a safe direction and squeezespray
gun trigger to release retainedhigh water pressure.
WARHIHG
I A WARNING
NEVERrepair high pressure hose. Replaceit. Replacement hose rating MUSTexceedmaximum pressure
rating of unit.
Check Detergent Siphoning Tube
Examinethe filter on the detergenttube and cleanif clogged. Thetube should fit tightly on the barbedfitting. Examinethe
tube for leaks or tears. Replacethe filter or tube if either is
damaged.
Check Gunand Hozzle Extension
Examinehoseconnection to gun and make sure it is secure. Testtrigger by pressing it and making sure it springs back into placewhen you releaseit. Engagesafety latch andtest
trigger. You should not be able to press trigger. Replacegun
immediately if it fails any of these tests.
Check In-Line Filter
Referto the illustration and service the in-line filter if it becomesclogged, as follows:
I
Keephigh pressure hose connectedto pump andspray gun
while system is pressurized. ALWAYS point gun in safe direction and squeezespray gun
trigger, to releasehigh pressure, every time you stop engine.
Engagetrigger lock when not in use.
,
Removenozzleextension from spray gun.
4.
Twist nozzleclockwise to stream position. Using a 2ram (5/64) allen wrench, removeorifice from end of nozzle
extension.
,
Removein-line filter from other end of nozzleextension.
6.
Usea small paperclip to free any foreign material clogging or restricting orifice.
in-line Filter
Nozzleextension
1. Detachnozzleextensionfrom gun and removeo-ring and screenfrom nozzleextension. Flushscreen, gun, and
nozzleextensionwith clean water to clear debris.
2. Placein-line filter screen into threaded end of nozzle extension. Direction does not matter. Push screen in with
eraserend of pencil until it rests fiat at bottom of opening.Take care not to bend screen.
3. Placeo-ring into recess. Push o-ring snugly against in- line filter screen.
