ENGINE TECHNICAL INFORMATION PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
This is a single cylinder, L-head, air cooled engine. It
is a low emissions engine.
In the State of California, Model Series
100000 engines are certified by the California Air
Resources Board to meet emissions standards for
125 hours. Such certification does not grant the
purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any
additional warranties with respect to the performance
or operational life of this engine. The engine is
warranted solely according to the product and
emissions warranties stated elsewhere in this manual.
Power Ratings
* The power ratings for an individual engine model are
initially developed by starting with SAE (Society of
Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine
Power & Torque Rating Procedure) (Revision 2002-
05). Given both the wide array of products on which
our engines are placed, and the variety of
environmental issues applicable to operating the
equipment, it may be that the engine you have
purchased will not develop the rated horsepower when
used in a piece of power equipment (actual "on-site"
power). This difference is due to a variety of factors
including, but not limited to, the following: differences
in altitude, temperature, barometric pressure, humidity,
fuel, engine lubrication, maximum governed engine
speed, individual engine to engine variability, design of
the particular piece of power equipment, the manner in
which the engine is operated, engine run-in to reduce
friction and clean out of combustion chambers,
adjustments to the valves and carburetor, and other
factors. The power ratings may also be adjusted
based on comparisons to other similar engines utilized
in similar applications, and will therefore not
necessarily match the values derived using the
foregoing codes.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Regular maintenance will improve the performance
and extend the life of the pressure washer. See any
Sears or other qualified service dealer for service.
The pressure washer warranty does not cover items
that have been subjected to operator abuse or
negligence. To receive full value from the warranty,
the operator must maintain pressure washer as
instructed in this manual including proper storage as
detailed in "Storage" on pages 20-21.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer.
All service and adjustments should be made at least
once each season. Follow the requirements in the
"Maintenance Schedule" chart above.
NOTE: Once a year you should clean or replace the
spark plug and replace the air filter, A new spark plug
and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and
help your engine run better and last longer,
EMISSIONS CONTROL
Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emissions
control devices and systems may be performed by any
non-road engine repair establishment or individual.
BEFORE EACH USE
1. Check engine oil level.
2. Clean debris.

clogged or replace if it is torn.
Check High Pressure Hose
High pressure hoses can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, or abuse. Inspect hose before each use.
Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions, bulging of cover, or
damage or movement of couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, replace hose immediately.
2. Place in-line filter screen into threaded end of nozzle
extension. Direction does not matter. Push screen in
with eraser end of pencil until it rests flat at bottom
of opening. Take care to not bend screen.

against in-line filter screen.
4. Assemble nozzle extension to spray gun, as
described earlier in manual.
Nozzle Maintenance
A pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the spray gun
trigger may be caused by excessive pump pressure.
The principal cause of excessive pump pressure is a
nozzle clogged or restricted with foreign materials,
such as dirt, etc. To correct the problem, immediately
clean the nozzle following these instructions:
1. Shut off engine and turn off water supply.
Remove nozzle from end of nozzle extension..
3. Remove in-line filter from other end of nozzle
extension.

STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OiL CHANGE
NOTE: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API
certification mark and API service symbol with "SJ/CF
ENERGY CONSERVING" or higher, is an acceptable
oil at all temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not
alter required oil change intervals.
* The use of multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)
in temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in higher
than normal oil consumption. When using a multi-
viscosity oil, check oil more frequently.
** If using SAE 30 oil in temperatures below 40°F
(4°C), it will result in hard starting and possible engine
bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.
Checking Oil Level
Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least
every 5 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.
1. Make sure pressure washer is on a level surface.
2. Remove oil dipstick and wipe dipstick with clean
