Add Engine Oil
1. Placepressure washer on a flat, levelsurface.
2. Cleanarea around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill
cap/dipstick.
3. Usingoil funnel (optional), slowly pour contents of
provided oil bottle into oil fill opening.
NOTICE Improper treatment of pressure washer can
damage it and shorten its life.
• DO NOTattempt to crank or start the engine before it has been
properly servicedwith the recommended oil. This may result in an
enginefailure.
,
Cleanareaaround fuel fill cap, removecap.
2.
Slowly add regular unleadedfuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be
careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" (4 cm) (C) of tank
spacefor fuel expansion.
4. Replaceoil fill cap/dipstick andfully tighten.
Add Fuel
Fuel mustmeet theserequirements:
• Clean,fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON).High altitude
use, see HighAltitude.
• Gasolinewith up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or upto 15%
MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
NOTICE Avoid pressure washer damage.
Failureto follow Operator's Manualfor 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.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).
WARNING Fueland its vapors areextremely
flammable and explosive.
Fireor explosion can causesevere burns
or death.
WHENADDINGFUEL
• Turn pressure washerOFFand let it cool at least2 minutes
before removing fuel cap. Loosencapslowly to relievepressure
in tank.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors.
• DONOToverfill tank. Allow spacefor fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporatesbefore starting engine.
• Keepfuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat,and
other ignition sources.
• DONOTlight a cigarette or smoke.
,
Install fuel cap and wait for any spilledfuel to evaporate.
CAUTION!Alcohol-blendedfuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leadsto separationand
formation of acidsduring storage.Acidic gascan damage the
fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.
To avoid engine problems, 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 filled, air inthe 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.
SeeStoragefor 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 / 85AKI (89 RON)gasolineis acceptable.To
remainemissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operationwithout this adjustment will cause
decreasedperformance, increasedfuel consumption, and
increasedemissions. Seea qualified Sears dealerfor high
altitude adjustment information. Operation of the engine at
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 100000 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).

6. Purge pump of air and contaminants.
PRESSUREWASHERMAINTENANCE
Clean Debris
Daily or before use, clean accumulateddebris from pressure
washer. Keeplinkage, spring and controls clean.Keeparea
around andbehind muffler free from any combustible debris.
Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the pressure
washer. Theseopenings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
Pressurewasher parts should be kept cleanto reduce the
risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated debris.
• Usea damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Cleancooling systeW
1Clean if clogged. Replace if perforated or torn.
2Service more often under dirty or dusty conditions.
General Recommendations
Regularmaintenancewill improve the performanceand
extendthe life of the pressurewasher. Seeany Searsor
other qualified service dealerfor service.
Thepressure washer warranty does not cover items that
havebeensubjected to operator abuse or negligence.To
receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must
maintain pressurewasher as instructed in this manual
including proper storage asdetailed in Storage.
Someadjustments will needto bemade periodicallyto
properly maintain your pressurewasher.
All service and adjustments should be madeat least once
eachseason.Follow the requirements in the Maintenance
Schedulechart above.
NOTE:Oncea yearyou should cleanor replacethe spark
plug andreplace the air filter. A new spark plug and clean air
filter assureproper fuel-air mixture and helpyour engine run
better and last longer.
Pump Oil
DONOTattempt any oil maintenance on this pump. The
pump is pre-lubricatedand sealedfrom the factory, requiring
no additional maintenancefor the life of the pump.
NOTICE Improper treatment of pressurewasher can
damageit and shorten its life.
• DONOTinsertanyobjectsthroughcoolingslots.
• Usea soft bristle brush to loosencaked on dirt, oil, etc.
• Usea vacuum cleaner to pick up loosedirt and debris.
Check and Clean Inlet Screen
Examinegarden hoseinlet screen. Cleanif it is clogged or
replaceif it is torn.
Check High Pressure Hose
High pressure hoses candevelop leaksfrom wear, kinking,
or abuse. Inspecthose beforeeach use. Check for cuts,
leaks,abrasions,bulging of cover, or damageor movement
of couplings. If anyof these conditions exist, replacehose
immediately.
