AddFuel
Fuel must meet theserequirements:
• Clean,fresh, unleadedgasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKi (91 RON).High altitude
use, see HighAltitude.
• Gasolinewith up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 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.
A WARNING Fuelandits vapors areextremelyflammable
and explosivewhich could causeburns,
fire or explosionresulting indeath,
serious injury and/orproperty damage.
WHENADDINGFUEL
• Turn pressurewasher engine OFFand let it cool at least2
minutes beforeremoving fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve
pressure 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.
• Checkfuel lines, tank, capandfittings frequently for cracks or
leaks. Replaceif necessary.
• DONOTlight a cigarette orsmoke.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel
stabilizerwhen addingfuel. See Storage.All fuel is not the
same.If you experiencestarting or performance problems
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).
1. Cleanareaaround fuel fill cap, removecap.
2. Slowly add regular unleadedfuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be
careful not to overfill. To allow for fuel expansion,do not
fill abovethe bottom of the fuel tank neck.

3. Install fuel cap andwait for any spilledfuel to evaporate.
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 filled, 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 engineor 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.
FreshStart@ Fuel Cap
The FreshStart@fuel cap (A) is designed to hold a
cartridge (B) which containsfuel preserver. Adding fuel
preserver helps keepfuel fresh and carburetors cleanfor
easierstarting aii season long. The FreshStart@fuel cap, if
equipped with a cartridge, automatically drips concentrated
fuel preserverinto your fuel tank so you don't haveto add it
yourself.
NOTICE FreshStart@ fuel preservercartridge is availableas
an optional accessory, retail item 7133386. it is not included
with the pressurewasher. Contactthe original equipment
manufacturer, retailer,or dealerto obtain acartridge
designedfor the FreshStart@ fuel cap installed on this
engine.
Readand follow all instructions andwarnings given inthe
FreshStart@fuel preservercartridge package.
Lubricate O-Rings
Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation
and operation. The useof a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic
grease)during assembly helpsseat o-rings properly and
provides animproved seal. It also helps protect the o-ring
from damageby abrasion, pinching or cutting and extends
the life of the o-ring.
NOTICE ALWAYSapply a small amount of lubricant on
o-rings prior to assemblingthe gardenhose to the pump (C),
high pressurehose(D), spray gun (E), and nozzle
extension(F).
Lubricateall connectionsshownbelow, following these
instructions:
1. inspect and clean connecting surfacesprior to
lubrication and assembly.
2. Use lubricants sparingly during assembly; a light film is
all that is required.
3. Use a small brush or cotton swab to apply grease
directly to o-rings wherethey are not accessible(QC
fitting, M22 fitting).

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. Net power
values aretaken with exhaust and air cleanerinstalled
whereas gross powervalues arecollected without these
attachments.Actual gross engine power will be higher than
net engine power and is affected by, among other things,
ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine
variability. Giventhe wide array of products onwhich engines
are placed, the gasengine may not developthe rated gross
power when used in a given pieceof power equipment.This
difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not
limited to, the variety of engine components (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 an engine of higher rated
power for this Seriesengine.

GeneralRecommendations
Regularmaintenance will improve the performanceand
extendthe life of the pressurewasher. Seeany Searsor
other qualified service dealerfor service.
Thepressure washerwarranty does not cover items that
havebeensubjected to operator abuseor negligence.To
receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must
maintain pressurewasher as instructed in this manual
including proper storage as detailed in Storage.
Someadjustments will needto be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressurewasher.
All service andadjustments should be made at leastonce
eachseason. Follow the requirementsin the Maintenance
Schedulechart above.
NOTICE Oncea yearyou should cleanor replace the spark
plug andreplacethe air filter. A new spark plugand clean air
filter assureproper fuel-air mixture and helpyour engine run
better and last longer.
PumpOil
DONOTattempt any oil maintenanceon this pump.The
pump is pre-iubricatedand sealedfrom the factory, requiring
no additional maintenancefor the life of the pump.
BeforeEachUse
1. Checkengine oil level.
2. Cleandebris.
3. Checkwater inlet screenfor damage.
4. Checkhigh pressure hose for leaks.
5. Checkgun and nozzleextension assemblyfor leaks.
6. Purge pump of air and contaminants.
PRESSUREWASHERMAINTENANCE
CleanDebris
Daily or before use,clean accumulateddebris from pressure
washer. Keeplinkage, spring and controls clean. Keeparea
around andbehind muffler free from any combustible debris.
inspect cooling air slots and openings on the pressure
washer. Theseopenings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
Pressurewasher parts should be kept cleanto reduce the
risk of overheating andignition of accumulated debris.
