EHGINETECHNICALJNFORMATIOH PRODUCTSPECIFICATiOHS

This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV),air cooled engine, it is alow emissions engine.

Inthe Stateof 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 engineany additional warranties with respectto the performance or operational life of this engine.The engine is warranted solely according to the product andemissions warranties stated

elsewherein this manual.

Power Ratings

Thegross power rating for individual gas engine modelsis 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 arederived at3060 RPM; horsepower values are derivedat 3600 RPM.Actual gross engine power will be lower andis affected by, among other things, ambientoperating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given both 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 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 (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 an engineof higher rated power for this Seriesengine.

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

(Testingand Rating Performanceof PressureWashers).

General Recommendations

Regularmaintenancewill improve the performanceand extend the life of the pressure washer. Seeany Searsor

other qualified service dealerfor service. The pressure washer warranty does not cover items that

havebeensubjected to operator abuse or negligence.To

receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must

maintain pressure washer as instructed in this manual

including properstorage as detailedin Storage.

Someadjustments will needto be made periodicallyto

properly maintain your pressure washer. All service and adjustments should bemade at least once

eachseason. Followthe requirements in the Maintenance

Schedulechart above.

NOTE:Oncea yearyou should clean or replacethe spark

plug and replacethe air filter. A newspark plug and cleanair filter assure properfuel-air mixture and help your engine run

better and last longer.

Pump Oil

DONOTattempt any oil maintenanceon this pump. The

pump is pro-lubricatedand sealedfrom the factory, requiring

no additional maintenancefor the life of the pump.

• Changeengine oil2

• Service spark arrester

_ _ LLLLLL

Service spark plug

• Cleancooling system2

' Clean if clogged. Replace if perforated or torn.

Service more often under dirty or dusty conditions.

EmissionsControl

Maintenance, replacement, or repairof the emissions

control devicesand systemsmay be performedby any non-

road engine repair establishmentor individual. However, to obtain "no charge" emissions control service,the work

must be performed by a factory authorizeddealer.Seethe

Emissions Warranty.

Before Each Use

1. Checkengine oil level.

2. Cleandebris.

3. Checkwater inlet screenfor damage.

4. Checkhigh pressurehose for leaks.

5. Checkgun andnozzleextension assembly for leaks.

6. Purge pump of air and contaminants.
