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.

• DONOTattemptto crank or startthe engine before it has been
properly serviced with the recommended oil. This may result in an
enginefailure.

4. Replaceoil fill cap/dipstick and fully tighten.

Add Fuel

Fuel mustmeet these requirements:

• 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 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 adding fuel. SeeStorage.All fuel is not the

same. If you experiencestarting or performanceproblems
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).

_i, WARNING Fueland its vapors are extremely

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.

CAUTION!Alcohol-blendedfuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leadsto separation and

formation of acidsduring storage.Acidic gascandamagethe
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 engineand let it run until the fuel

lines and carburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season.
See Storage for 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, highaltitude 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 below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude

kit is not recommended.

FreshStart® Fuel Cap

The FreshStart® fuel cap (C) is designedto hold a
cartridge (O)which contains fuel preserver.Adding fuel

preserver helps keepfuel fresh and carburetors cleanfor
easier starting all season long. TheFreshStart® fuel cap, if
equipped with a cartridge, automatically drips concentrated
fuel preserver into your fuel tank so you don't haveto add it

'ourself.

.

Cleanarea around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

2.

Slowly add regularunleadedfuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be
careful not to overfill. To allow for fuel expansion, do not

fill abovethe bottom of the fuel tank neck.

3. Install fuel capand wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.

NOTE:FreshStart®fuel preservercartridge is available as an
optional accessory, retail item 7133386. It is not included
with the pressure washer. Contactthe original equipment

manufacturer, retailer, or dealerto obtain acartridge
designed for the FreshStart® fuel cap installed on this
engine.

correctly attached.

_i, WARNING Contact with muffler area can result in

serious burns.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite

combustibles, structures or damage

fuel tank causing a fire.

• DO NOTtouch hot parts and AVOIDhot exhaust gases.

• Allow equipmentto cool before touching.

• Keepat least5 feet (152 cm) of clearanceon all sides of
pressure washer including overhead.

• It is a violation of California Public ResourceCode, Section
4442, to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered,
brush-covered, or grass-covered land unlessthe exhaust
system is equippedwith a spark arrester, as defined in Section
4442, maintained in effective working order. Otherstates or
federaljurisdictions may havesimilar laws.

Contactthe original equipment manufacturer,retailer, or dealer
to obtain a spark arrester designedfor the exhaustsystem
installed onthis engine.

• Replacementparts must bethe same and installed in the same
position as the original parts.

_i, WARNING Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can

result in bodily injury. Kickback will pull hand and

_. arm toward engine faster than you can let go.

v-

Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains

could result.

• NEVERpull starter cord without first relieving spraygun
pressure.

• When starting engine,pull cord slowly until resistance isfelt
andthen pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

• After each starting attempt, where enginefails to run, always
point spray gun in safe direction, pressred button and squeeze
spray gun trigger to releasehigh pressure.

• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high
pressure spray to avoid injury when spraygun kicks back.

O. Return recoil starter slowly. DONOT let rope "snap

back" against starter.

ENGINETECHNICALINFORMATION

This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV), 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 performanceor
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 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 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 onwhich
enginesare placed andthe variety of environmental issues
applicableto operatingthe equipment,the gas engine will not
developthe ratedgross power when used in a given pieceof
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 rated power for this
Seriesengine.

This pressurewasher is rated in accordanceto the Pressure
Washer Manufacturers Association (PWIVIA)standardPW101
(Testing and Rating Performanceof PressureWashers).
