4. Replaceoil fill cap/dipstick and fully tighten.
AddFuel
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 up to 15%
MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
NOTICE Avoid pressure washer damage.
Failureto follow Operator's Manual for fuel
recommendations voids warranty.
• DONOTuseunapprovedgasolinesuchasE85.
• DONOTmixoil in gasoline.
• DONOTmodifyengineto runonalternatefuels.
To protect the 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 engineis 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 it cool at least2 minutes
before removing 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.
• DONOTlight a cigarette or smoke.
CAUTION! Alcohol-blended fuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or
methanol) canattract moisture, which leadsto separation and
formation of acids during storage.Acidic gascan damagethe
fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.
To avoid engineproblems, the fuel system should be 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. If fuel preserver is not used,
drain the fuel tank, start the engineandlet it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Usefreshfuel next season.
SeeStoragefor additional information.
NEVERuse engine or carburetorcleaner 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 adjustment wiii cause
decreasedperformance, increasedfuel consumption, and
increasedemissions. Seea qualified Searsdealerfor high
altitude adjustment information. Operation of the engineat
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 designed to hold a
cartridge (D)which contains fuel preserver.Adding fuel
preserver helps keepfuel fresh and carburetors cleanfor
easierstarting all season long. TheFresh Start@fuel cap, if
equippedwith a cartridge, automatically drips concentrated
fuel preserver into your fuel tankso you don't haveto add it
yourself.

ENGINETECHNICALiNFORMATiON
This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV), air cooled
engine, it is a low emissions engine.
In the Stateof California, Model 120000 enginesare certified
by the CaliforniaAir 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 emissions warranties stated
elsewherein this manual.
Power Ratings
Thegross power rating for individual gas enginemodels is
labeled in accordancewith SAE(Society of Automotive
Engineers)codeJ1940 (Small Engine Power &Torque
Rating Procedure),andrating performance has been
obtained and corrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995
(Revision 2002-05). Torquevalues are derived at 3060 RPM;
horsepower valuesarederived at 3600 RPM.Actualgross
engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other
things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine
variability. Givenboth the wide array of 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 dueto 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-enginevariability. Dueto
manufacturing andcapacitylimitations, Briggs & Stratton
may substitute an engine of higher ratedpower for this
Seriesengine.

GeneralRecommendations
Regularmaintenancewill improve the performance and
extendthe life of the pressurewasher. Seeany Searsor
other qualified service dealerfor service.
Thepressure washer warranty 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 asdetailed in Storage.
Someadjustments will needto be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressurewasher.
All service and adjustments should be madeat leastonce
eachseason.Followthe requirementsin the Maintenance
Schedulechart above.
NOTICE Oncea year you should clean or replacethe spark
