CAUTION!Alcohol-blended fuels (calledgasohoI,ethanol or

formation of acidsduring storage.Acidic gas can damagethe
fuel system of an enginewhile instorage.
Toavoid engine problems, the fuel system should betreated
with a fuel preserveror emptiedbefore storage of 30 days or
longer. Ifadding afuel preserver,fill the fuel tank with fresh
fuel. if only partially filled, air in thetank 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 next season.
See Storagefor additional information.
NEVERuseengine or carburetor cleanerproducts in the fuel
tank as permanent damagemay occur.
HighAltitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters),a minimum
85 octane/ 85 AKI (89 RON)gasoline is acceptable.To
remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operationwithout this adjustment will cause
decreasedperformance, increasedfuel consumption, and
increasedemissions. Seea qualified Sears dealer for high
altitude adjustment information. Operationof the engine at
altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude
kit is not recommended.

UsageTips
• Formost effective cleaning, keepspray tip from 8 to
24 inches (20to 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 6 inches (15 cm) when cleaning

To apply detergent,fellowthesesteps:
1. Reviewuse of spray tips.
2. Preparedetergent solution as requiredby job.
3. Placesmall filter endof detergent siphoning tube into
detergent container.
NOTICE
Contact with the hot muffler can damagedetergent
siphoning tube.

IMPORTANT:You must flush the detergent siphoning system
after each use by placing the filter into a bucketof clean
water, then runthe pressure washer in low pressurefor 1-2
minutes.

NOTE:Makesure the filter is fully submerged in detergent
while applying detergent.
4. Make sure black spray tip is installed.
NOTE:Detergentcannot be applied with the high pressure
spray tips (Greenor Red).
5. Make sure garden hoseis connectedto water inlet.
Checkthat high pressure hose is connectedto spray gun
and pump. Turn on water.

7. Apply detergentto a dry surface, starting at lower
portion of areato be washedand work upward, using
long, even, overlapping strokes.
8. Allow detergentto "soakin" for 3-5 minutes before
washing and rinsing. Reapplyas neededto prevent
surfacefrom drying. DO NOTallow detergentto dry on
(prevents streaking).
Cleaning DetergentSiphoning Tube
If you usedthe detergentsiphoning tube,you must flush it
with cleanwater beforestopping the engine.
1. Placedetergent siphoning tube/filter in a bucketfull of
clean water.
2. Removehigh pressurespray tip from nozzleextension.
3. Selectand install blackdetergentspray tip following
instructions How to UseSpray Tips.
4. Flushfor 1-2 minutes.
5. Shut off engine following instructions How to Stop
Pressure Washerand turn off water supply.
6. ALWAYSpoint spray gun ina safedirection push red
button and squeezespray gun trigger to release retained
high water pressure.
IMPORTANT:Spraygun traps high water pressure,even
when engine is stopped andwater is disconnected.
Automatic Cool DownSystem(Thermal Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washerfor
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray gun,
circulating water in the pump can reach temperatures above
125°F.The system engagesto cool the pump by discharging
the warm water ontothe ground.

EHGINETECHNICALINFORMATIOH PRODUCTSPECIFICATIOHS
This is a single cylinder, L-head,air cooled engine. It is a low
emissions engine.
Inthe Stateof California, Model 100000 enginesare certified
by the California Air ResourcesBoardto meet emissions
standardsfor 125hours. Such certification does not grant
the purchaser, owner or operator of this engineany
additional warranties with respectto the performance or
operational life of this engine.Theengine is warrantedsolely
according to the product andemissions warranties stated
elsewherein this manual.
Power Ratings
Thegross power rating for individual gas enginemodels is
labeledin accordancewith SAE(Society of Automotive
Engineers)code J1940 (Small Engine Power &Torque
Rating Procedure),and rating performance has been
obtained andcorrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995
(Revision2002-05). Torquevalues arederived at3060 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 array of products on which
enginesare placed and the 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 a variety of factors including, but not
limited to, accessories (aircleaner, 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
maysubstitute anengine of higher ratedpower for this
Seriesengine.
This pressurewasher is rated in accordanceto the Pressure
Washer Manufacture Association (PWMA) standard PW101
(Testingand Rating Performanceof PressureWashers).
