To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel stabilizer when adding fuel. See Storage. All fuel is not the same. If you experience starting or performance problems after using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or change brands. This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine Modifications).
1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add regular unleaded fuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" (4 cm) (C) of tank space for fuel expansion.
3. Install fuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.
CAUTION! Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be treated with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of 30 days or 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. If fuel preserver is not used, drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage for additional information.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.
High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum 85 octane / 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required. Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions. See a qualified Sears dealer for high altitude adjustment information. Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.
Fresh Start® Fuel Cap
The Fresh Start® fuel cap (D) is designed to hold a cartridge (E) which contains fuel preserver. Adding fuel preserver helps keep fuel fresh and carburetors clean for easier starting all season long. The Fresh Start® fuel cap, if equipped with a cartridge, automatically drips concentrated fuel preserver into your fuel tank so you don’t have to add it yourself.
NOTICE Fresh Start® fuel preserver cartridge is available as an optional accessory, retail item 7133386. It is not included with the pressure washer. Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or dealer to obtain a cartridge designed for the Fresh Start® fuel cap installed on this engine.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings given in the Fresh Start® fuel preserver cartridge package.

Lubricate O-Rings
Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation and operation. The use of a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic grease) during assembly helps seat o-rings properly and provides an improved seal. It also helps protect the o-ring from damage by abrasion, pinching or cutting and extends the life of the o-ring.
NOTICE ALWAYS apply a small amount of lubricant on o-rings prior to assembling the garden hose to the pump (A), high pressure hose (B), spray gun (C), and nozzle extension (D).
Lubricate all connections shown below, following these instructions:
1. Inspect and clean connecting surfaces prior 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 where they are not accessible (QC fitting, M22 fitting).

ENGINE TECHNICAL INFORMATION
This is a single cylinder, overhead valve (OHV), air cooled engine. It is a low emissions engine.
In the State of California, Model 120000 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 gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. Net power values are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected 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. Given the wide array of products on which engines are placed, the gas engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of 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. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.
