• DONOTattemptto crank or startthe engine before it has been
properly serviced with the recommendedoil. This mayresult inan
enginefailure.
4. Replaceoil fill cap/dipstick andfully tighten.
AddFuel
Fuel mustmeet these requirements:
* Clean,fresh, unleaded gasoline.
* A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON).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 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 addingfuel. SeeStorage.Aii fuel is not the
same. If you experiencestarting or performanceproblems
after using fuel, switch to a differentfuel provider or change
brands. This engineis certified to operateon 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. Loosen capslowly to relieve pressure
in tank.
• Fill fuel 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 orsmoke.
CAUTION!Alcohol-blendedfuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leadsto separationand
formation of acidsduring storage. Acidic gascan damage the
fuel system of anenginewhile in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be treated
with a fuel preserveror emptied beforestorage of 30 daysor
longer. If adding afuel 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 engine andlet it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor areempty. Usefresh fuel nextseason.
SeeStoragefor additional information.
NEVERuse engine or carburetor cleaner products inthe fuel
tank as permanent damagemay occur.
HighAltitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet(1524 meters), aminimum
85 octane / 85AKi (89 RON)gasolineis acceptable.To
remainemissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operationwithout this adjustmentwill cause
decreasedperformance, increasedfuel consumption, and
increasedemissions. Seea qualified Searsdealerfor high
altitude adjustment information. Operationof the engineat
altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude
kit is not recommended.
Connect Hoseand Water Supply to Pump
NOTICE:DONOTrun the pump without the water supply
connectedand turned on.
• Damageto equipmentresultingfromfailureto followthis
instructionwill voidwarranty.

A WARNINC:The high pressurestream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin and
its underlying tissues, leading to serious injury
and possible amputation.
• NEVERexchangespraytipswithoutthetriggerlockedonthe
spraygun.
• DONOTtwist spraytips whilespraying.
2. Select desired spray tip:
* For delicate rinse (lower pressure and higher flow),
for gentlecleaning of cars/trucks, boats,RV's, patio
furniture, lawn equipment, etc.,select white 40°
spray tip.
* For generalrinsing (medium pressure andmedium
flow), idealfor most all purpose cleaningsuch as
home siding, brick patios, wood decks,driveways
and sidewalks, garagefloors, etc.,selectyellow
15° spraytip.
* For maximum rinsing (higher pressureand lower
flow), for stubborn or hard to reachsurfacesuch as
second story surfaces, paint removal,oil stains, rust
removal or other stubborn substances (tar, gum,
grease,wax, etc.), select red 0° spraytip.
* To apply detergent,applies project specific cleaners
to helpbreakdown stubborn dirt and grime on a
variety of surfaces, select black detergentspray tip.
3. Pull backon collar,insert new spraytip and releasecollar.
Tugon spraytip to makesureit is securelyin place.
UsageTips
* For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from 8 to
24 inches (20 to 61 cm) awayfrom cleaning surface.
* If you get spray tip too close, especiallyusing a high
pressure spray tip,you may damagesurface being
cleaned.
* DONOTget closer than 6inches (15 cm) when cleaning
tires.

the water turned ONwill damagethe pump.
• Damageto equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
5. Start enginefollowing instructions How to Start Your
Pressure Washer.
6. Apply detergent to a dry surface,starting at lower
portion of areato be washedand work upward, using
long, even,overlapping strokes.
7. Allow detergent to "soak in" for 3-5 minutes before
washing and rinsing. Reappiyas neededto prevent
surfacefrom drying. DO NOTallow detergentto dry on
(prevents streaking).
CleaningandApplyingDetergentwith
the StandardClear Siphon
To applydiluted detergentusing the
standard clear siphon tube, follow these
steps:
1. Reviewuse of spray tips.
2. Attach clearsiphon hoseto barbed fitting on pump.
3. Mix detergent solution as required by job.
4. Placesmall filter endof clear siphoning tube into
container with diluted solution asdescribed above.
NOTE:DO NOTinsert standard siphon hosein Extreme
Concentrate.Failureto dilute concentrate will causeexcessive
application and consumption of solution.
NOTE:Make surethe filter is fully submerged in fluid while
applying solution.
NOTICE: Contact with the hot muffler can damage detergent

EN61NETECHNICALiNFORMATiON
This is a single cylinder, L-head,air cooledengine, it is alow
emissions engine.
Jnthe State of CaJJfornia,ModeJ120000enginesare certified
by the California Air ResourcesBoardto meet emissions
standardsfor 125 hours. Such certification doesnot grant
the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any
additional warranties with respectto the performanceor
operational life of this engine.Theengine is warranted solely
according to the product and emissionswarranties stated
elsewherein this manual.
Power RaUn[Is
Thegross power rating for individual gas enginemodels is
labeled in accordancewith SAE(Society of Automotive
Engineers)codeJ1940 (Small EnginePower & 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 andis affected by, among other
things, ambientoperating conditions andengine-to-engine
variability. Given both the wide arrayof products onwhich
enginesare placed andthe variety of environmental issues
applicableto operatingthe equipment,the gas engine will not
developthe ratedgross power when used in a given piece of
power equipment (actual "on-site"or net power). 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. Dueto
manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton
may substitute an engineof higher ratedpower for this
Seriesengine.
This pressurewasher is rated in accordanceto the Pressure
Washer Manufacture Association (PWMA) standardPW101
(Testing and Rating Performanceof PressureWashers).
