Fuel mustmeet these requirements:
• Clean,fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON).High altitude
use, see HighAltitude.
• Gasolinewith up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or upto 15%
MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
NOTICE Avoid pressurewasher damage.
Failureto follow Operator's Manualfor fuel
recommendations voids warranty.
• DONOTuseunapprovedgasolinesuchasE85.
• DONOTmixoil in gasoline.
• DONOTmodifyengineto runonalternatefuels.
To protectthe fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel
stabilizerwhen adding fuel. SeeStorage.All fuel is not the
same. If you experiencestarting or performanceproblems
after using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or change
brands. This engine is certified to operateon gasoline. The
emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine
Modifications).
_i, WARNING Fueland its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fireor explosion can causesevere burns
or death.
WHENADDINGFUEL
• Turnpressure washerOFFand let itcool at least2 minutes
before removing fuelcap. Loosen capslowly to relievepressure
in tank.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors.
• DONOToverfill tank. Allow spacefor fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills,wait until it evaporatesbefore starting engine.
• Keepfuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat,and
other ignition sources.
• DONOTlight a cigarette orsmoke.
CAUTION! Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or
methanol) canattract moisture, which leadsto separation and
formation of acids during storage.Acidic gascandamagethe
fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.
To avoidengine problems, the fuel system shouldbe treated
with a fuel preserveror emptied beforestorage of 30 daysor
longer. If adding a fuel preserver,fill the fuel tank with fresh
fuel. If only partially tiffed,air in the 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
lines andcarburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season.
SeeStoragefor additional information.
NEVERuse engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damagemay occur.
HighAltitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet(1524 meters), a minimum
85 octane / 85 AKi (89 RON)gasolineis acceptable.To
remainemissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operationwithout this adjustmentwiii cause
decreasedperformance, increasedfuel 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.
Fresh Start@ Fuel Cap
The FreshStart@fuel cap (C) is designedto hold a
cartridge (D)which contains fuel preserver.Adding fuel
preserver helps keepfuel fresh and carburetors cleanfor
easierstarting all seasonlong. The Fresh Start@fuel cap, if
equippedwith a cartridge, automatically drips concentrated
fuel preserver into your fuel tankso you don't haveto add it
yourself.

Howto Use Selector Nozzle
Theselector nozzleallows you to switch betweenfive
different spray pattern nozzles.Spray patterns can be
changedwhile pressurewasher is running once spray gun
trigger safety lock is engaged.The spraypatterns vary as
shown below.
Followthese instructionsto changenozzlepatterns:
1. Selectdesired spray pattern:
* MAX- For stubborn or hardto reach surfacesuch
assecond story surfaces, paint removal,oil stains,
rust removalor other stubborn substances (tar,
gum, grease,wax, etc.).
GENERAL- For most all purpose cleaning such as
home siding, brick patios, wood decks, driveways
and sidewalks, garagefloors, etc..
DELICATE- For gentle cleaningof cars/trucks,
boats, RV's, patiofurniture, lawn equipment, etc..
FLUSH- Forquick high flow clean up and long
reachcleaning of second story siding and windows.
SOAP- Forgeneralsoapapplications or to launch

2. Push button on selector nozzle,nozzledial will pop up.
3. Turndial until desired spray pattern lines up withbutton
on selector nozzle.
4. Push dial in untilitlocks into place.
UsageTips
* For most effective cleaning, keepselector nozzlefrom
8 to 24 inches (20 to 61 cm) away from cleaning surface.
If you get selector nozzletoo close, especiallyusing a
high pressurespray pattern nozzle,you may damage
surface being cleaned.
DONOTget closer than 6 inches (15 cm) when cleaning

ENGINETECHNICALiNFORMATiON
This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV), air cooled
engine, it is alow emissions engine.
In the State of California, Model 110000engines are certified
by theCalifornia Air Resources Boardto meet emissions
standardsfor 125 hours. Such certification does not grant
the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any
additional warranties with respectto the performanceor
operational life of this engine.Theengine is warranted solely
according to the product and emissionswarranties stated
elsewherein this manual.
PowerRatings
Thegross power rating for individual gas engine models is
labeled in accordancewith SAE(Society of Automotive
Engineers)code J1940 (Small Engine Power &Torque
Rating Procedure),and rating performance has been
obtained and corrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995
(Revision 2002-05). Torquevalues are derived at 3060 RPM;
horsepower values are derived at 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 arrayof products on which
enginesare placed andthe variety of environmental issues
applicableto operatingthe equipment,the gas engine wiii not
developthe ratedgross power when used in a 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(air cleaner, exhaust, charging,
cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations,
ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity,
altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Dueto
manufacturing andcapacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton
may substitute an engineof higher ratedpower for this
Seriesengine.
