emission control system for this engineis EM (Engine

Modifications).

WARRIRG

Fueland its vaporsare extremely flammable and

explosive.

Fireor explosion can causesevere burns or
death.

WHENADDING FUEL

• Turn pressure washer OFFand let it cool at least 2 minutes
before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure

in tank.

• Fillfuel tank outdoors.

, DONOToverfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.

, Keep fuel away from sparks, openflames, pilot lights, heat, and

other ignition sources.

, DONOTlight a cigarette or smoke.

,

Cleanarea around fuel fill cap, removecap.

2.

Slowly add regular unleadedfuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be
careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" (4 cm) (C) of tank
spacefor fuel expansion.

HighARRude

At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum

85 octane/ 85 AKI (89 RON)gasoline is acceptable.To
remainemissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operationwithout this adjustmentwill cause
decreasedperformance, increased fuel 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.

3. Installfuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.
CAUTION!Alcohol-blended fuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or

methanol) can attract moisture, which leadsto separation and
formation of acids during storage.Acidic gascan damagethe
fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.

Toavoidengineproblems,the fuel system should betreated
with afuel preserver or emptied beforestorageof 30 daysor
longer.If adding a fuel preserver,fill the fuel tank with fresh

fuel. If only partiallyfilled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. If fuel preserver is not used,

EHGINETECHNICALINFORMATIOH

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

Inthe Stateof California, Model Series 120000enginesare
certified by the CaliforniaAir ResourcesBoardto meet
emissions standards for 125 hours. Such certification does

not grant the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any
additional warranties with respectto the performance or
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 engine models is
labeledin accordancewith SAE(Society of 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. Given both 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 in agiven pieceof

power equipment (actual "on-site" or net power). This
difference is due to 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. 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) standardPW101

(Testingand Rating Performance of PressureWashers).
