4. Make sure HyrdoFoamTM Launcher is installed.
NOTE:Detergentcannot be applied with the high pressure
nozzles(Yellow, Orange or Red).
5. Make sure garden hoseis connectedto water inlet.
Checkthat high pressure hose is connectedto spray gun
and pump. Turn on water.
9. Allow HydroFoamTM wash to soak in between
3-5 minutes beforewashing and rinsing. Reapplyas
neededto prevent surface from drying. DO NOTallow
HydroFoamTM wash to dry on (preventsstreaking).
Forbest results, scrub the HydroFoamTM wash covered
surface to help remove stubborn dirt, grime and stains. For
vehicles, usea soft car washbrush or mitt. Fordecking,
siding and concrete, usea brush appropriatefor the type of
surface being cleaned.

EHGINETECHNICALINFORMATIOH PRODUCTSPECIFICATiOHS
This is a single cylinder, L-head,air cooled engine. It is a low
emissions engine.
Inthe Stateof California, ModelSeries 120000 engines are
certified by the CaliforniaAir ResourcesBoardto meet
emissions standardsfor 125 hours. Suchcertification does
not grant the purchaser,owner or operator of this engine any
additional warranties with respectto the performance or
operational life of this engine.The engineis warranted solely
according to the product and emmisions warranties stated
elsewhereinthis manual.
Power Ratings
* The gross power rating for individual gas engine modelsis
labeledin accordance with SAE(Societyof Automotive
Engineers)code J1940 (Small EnginePower &Torque
Rating Procedure),and rating performance hasbeen
obtained andcorrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995
(Revision2002-05). Actual gross engine power will be lower
and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating
conditions and engine-to-enginevariability. Givenboth the
wide array of products on which enginesareplaced and the
variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the
equipment,the gas engine will not develop the rated gross
power when used in a given piece of powerequipment
(actual"on-site"or net horsepower). This difference is due to
a variety of factors including, but not limited to, accessories
(air cleaner,exhaust,charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel
pump, etc.), applicationlimitations, ambient operating
conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), andengine-to-
engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity
limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of
higher rated powerfor this Seriesengine.
