fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel systemshould 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 partiallyfilled, air inthe tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. Iffuel 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.
SeeStoragefor additional information.
NEVERuse engine or carburetorcleaner products in the fuel

At altitudes over5,000 feet (1524 meters), aminimum
85 octane/ 85AKi (89 RON)gasoline isacceptable.To
remainemissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operationwithout this adjustment will cause

EHGINETECHNICALJNFORMATIOH PRODUCTSPECIFICATiOHS
This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV),air cooled
engine, it is alow emissions engine.
Inthe Stateof California, Model 120000enginesare certified
by the California Air ResourcesBoardto 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.Theengine is warrantedsolely
according to the product andemissions 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 has been
obtained andcorrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995
(Revision2002-05). 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 and engine-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 ina 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 an engine of higher ratedpower 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
havebeensubjectedto 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 madeperiodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer.
All service and adjustments should bemadeat 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 andcleanair
filter assure properfuel-air mixture and helpyour 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.

' 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
