To avoid engineproblems, the fuel system should be treated
with a fuel preserver or emptied beforestorage of 30 days or

longer. If adding a fuel preserver, fill the fuel tank with fresh

fuel. if only partially filled, air in the 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

linesand carburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season.

EHGJNETECHNICALJNFORMATJOH PRODUCTSPECJFICATJOHS

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

Inthe Stateof California, Model 120000 enginesare certified
by the CaliforniaAir Resources Boardto 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 and emissions warranties stated

elsewherein this manual.

Power Ratings

Thegross power rating for individual gas engine models is
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). Torque values are derived at3060 RPM;
horsepower values are derivedat 3600 RPM.Actual gross
engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other
things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine
variability. Givenboth the wide array of products on which
enginesare placedand the variety of environmental issues
applicableto operating the equipment, the gas engine will not
developthe rated gross power when used ina given piece of
power equipment (actual "on-site"or net power). This
difference is dueto 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. Due to

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 Performance of PressureWashers).

General Recommendations

Regularmaintenancewill improve the performance and
extendthe life of the pressure washer. Seeany Searsor
other qualified service dealerfor service.

Thepressure washer warranty doesnot cover items that
havebeen subjectedto operator abuseor negligence.To

receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must

maintain pressure washer as instructed inthis manual
including proper storage as detailed in Storage.

Someadjustments will needto be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressurewasher.

All serviceand adjustments should be madeat leastonce
eachseason.Follow the requirements in the Maintenance

Schedulechart above.
NOTE:Oncea year you should clean or replacethe spark

plug andreplace the air filter. A new spark plug and clean air
filter assureproper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.

EmissionsControl

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions
control devices and systemsmay be performedby any non-
roadenginerepair establishmentor individual. However,

to obtain "no charge" emissions control service, the work

must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.Seethe

Emissions Warranty.

Before Each Use

1. Checkengine oil level.

2. Cleandebris.

3. Checkwater inlet screen for damage.

4. Checkhigh pressure hose for leaks.

5. Checkgun and nozzleextension assembly for leaks.

6. Purgepump of air and contaminants.
