from abottle or container. Attach oneof the detergent siphon hoses(A) to the barbed

hose fitting (B) onthe pump.

Add Fuel

Fuelmust meet these requirements:

* Clean,fresh, unleadedgasoline.

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

use, seeHigh 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

recommendations voidswarranty.

DONOTuseunapprovedgasolinesuchasE85. DONOTmixoil ingasoline.

To protectthe fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel stabilizer whenadding fuel. See Storage.All fuel is notthe

same. If you experiencestarting or performance problems after using fuel, switch to adifferent fuel provider or change

brands. This engine is certified to operateon gasoline. The

emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine

3. Installfuelcap and wait for anyspilled fuelto evaporate.

CAUTION!Alcohol-blended fuels(called gasohoI,ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture,which leads to separationand formation of acidsduring storage.Acidic gascan damagethe fuel systemof anenginewhile in storage.

Toavoid engine problems, the fuel systemshould betreated with afuel preserver or emptied before storage of 30 days or

longer. If adding a fuel preserver,fill the fuel tankwith fresh fuel. if only partiallyfilled, air in the tankwill promote fuel

deterioration during storage, if fuel preserver is not used, drain the fuel tank, startthe engineand let it run until the fuel

lines andcarburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season. See Storagefor additional information.

NEVERuseengine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanentdamagemay occur.

HighAltitude

At altitudesover 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum 85 octane/ 85 AKI (89 RON)gasoline is acceptable.To remain emissionscompliant, high altitude adjustment is required. Operationwithout this adjustment will cause decreasedperformance, increasedfuel consumption, and increasedemissions. Seea qualified Searsdealerfor high altitude adjustment information. Operationof the engine at altitudes below2,500 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, ModelSeries 120000enginesare

certified bythe CaliforniaAir ResourcesBoardto meet emissions standardsfor 125 hours. Suchcertification does

not grantthe purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any additional warrantieswith respectto the performance or operational lifeof this engine.Theengineis warranted solely according to the product andemissions warranties stated

elsewherein this manual.

Power Ratings

Thegross power rating for individual gas enginemodelsis labeledin accordancewith SAE(Societyof Automotive

Engineers)code J1940 (Small Engine Power &Torque Rating Procedure),and rating performance hasbeen

obtained andcorrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995

(Revision2002-05). Torquevalues are derived at3060 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 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 ina given piece of power equipment (actual "on-site"or net power). This difference isdue 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), andengine-to-engine variability. Dueto

manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton

maysubstitute an engineof higher ratedpower for this Seriesengine.

This pressurewasher is rated in accordanceto the Pressure Washer Manufacture Association (PWMA) standard PW101

(Testingand Rating Performanceof PressureWashers).

must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.Seethe

Emissions Warranty.

Before Each Use

1. Checkengine oil level.

2. Cleandebris.

4. Checkhigh pressure hose for leaks.

5. Checkcleaning tank for damage.

6. Checkgun and nozzleextension assembly for leaks.

7. Purge pump of air and contaminants.

PRESSUREWASHERMAINTENANCE

CJeanDebris

Daily or before use,clean accumulateddebris from cleaning system. Keeplinkage, spring and controls clean.Keeparea

around andbehind muffler free from any combustible debris.

Inspect cooling air slots andopenings onthe pressure washer. Theseopenings must be kept clean and

unobstructed.

Cleaningsystem parts should be kept clean to reduce the risk

of overheatingand ignition of accumulated debris.

* Usea dampcloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

General Recommendations

Regularmaintenancewiil improve the performanceand extendthe life of the pressurewasher. SeeanySearsor other qualifiedservice dealerfor service.

Thepressure washerwarranty doesnot cover items that havebeen subjectedto operator abuseor negligence.To

receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must

maintain pressure washer as instructed inthis manual including proper storage as detailedin Storage.

Someadjustments will needto bemade periodically to properly maintain your pressurewasher.

All serviceand adjustmentsshould be madeat leastonce eachseason. Follow the requirementsin the Maintenance

Schedulechart above. NOTE:Oncea year you should clean or replacethe spark
