ENGINE TECHNICAL iNFORMATION PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
This is a single cylinder, L-head, air cooled engine. It
is a low emissions engine.
In the State of California, Model Series 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 emmisions warranties stated
elsewhere in this manual.
Power Ratings
The power ratings for an individual engine model are
initially developed by starting with SAE (Society of
Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine
Power & Torque Rating Procedure) (Revision 2002-
05). Given both the wide array of products on which
our engines are placed, and the variety of
environmental issues applicable to operating the
equipement, it may be that the engine you have
purchased will not develop the rated horsepower when
used in a peice of power equipment (actual "on-site"
power). This difference is due to a variety of factors
including, but not limited to, the following: differences
in altitude, temperature, barometric pressure, humidity,
fuel, engine lubrication, maximum governed engine
speed, individual engine to engine variability, design of
the particular peice of power equipment, the manner in
which the engine is operated, engine run-in to reduce
friction and clean out of combustion chambers,
adjustments to the valves and carburetor, and other
factors. The power ratings may also be adjusted
based on comparisons to other similar engines
utilizedin similar applications, and will thereforenot
necessarily match the values derived using the
foregoing codes.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Regular maintenance will improve the performance
and extend the life of the pressure washer. See any
Sears or other qualified service dealer for service.
The pressure washer warranty does not cover items
that have been subjected to operator abuse or
negligence. To receive full value from the warranty,
the operator must maintain pressure washer as
instructed in this manual including proper storage as
detailed in "Storage" on pages 20-21.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer.
All service and adjustments should be made at least
once each season. Follow the requirements in the
"Maintenance Schedule" chart above.
NOTE: Once a year you should clean or replace the
spark plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug
and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and
help your engine run better and last longer.
EMISSION CONTROL
Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emission
control devices and systems may be performed by any
non-road engine repair establishment or individual.
BEFORE EACH USE
1. Check engine oil level.
2. Clean debris.
3. Check water inlet screen for damage.
4. Check in-line filter for debris.
5. Check high pressure hose for leaks.
6. Check cleaning tanks for damage.
7. Check gun and nozzle extension assembly for
leaks.
8. Purge pump of air and contaminants.
PRESSURE WASHER MAINTENANCE
Clean Debris
Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris from
cleaning system. Keep linkage, spring and controls
clean. Keep area around and behind muffler free from
any combustible debris.
Cleaning system parts should be kept clean to reduce
the risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated
debris.
16
* Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
* Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil,
etc.
Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.
Use low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) to blow
away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and openings on
the pressure washer. These openings must be kept
clean and unobstructed.
Check and Clean Inlet Screen
Examine garden hose inlet screen. Clean if it is
clogged or replace if it is torn.
Check High Pressure Hose
High pressure hoses can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, or abuse. Inspect hose before each use.
Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions, bulging of cover, or
damage or movement of couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, replace hose immediately.
2. Place in-line filter screen into threaded end of nozzle
extension. Direction does not matter. Push screen in
with eraser end of pencil until it rests flat at bottom
of opening. Take care to not bend screen.
3. Place o-ring into recess. Push o-ring snugly
against in-line filter screen.
4. Assemble nozzle extension to spray gun, as
described earlier in manual.
Nozzle Maintenance
A pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the spray gun
trigger may be caused by excessive pump pressure.
The principal cause of excessive pump pressure is a
nozzle clogged or restricted with foreign materials,
such as dirt, etc. To correct the problem, immediately
clean the nozzle following these instructions:
1. Shut off engine and turn off water supply.
2. Remove nozzle from end of nozzle extension.
3. Remove in-line filter from other end of nozzle
extension.
4. Use a small paper clip to free any foreign material
clogging or restricting nozzle.
J WARNING 1

The pump is pre-lubricated and sealed, requiring no
additional lubrication for the life of the pump.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
3. Verify oil is at "Full" mark on dipstick. Replace and
tighten dipstick.
WARNING
WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR
PRESSURE WASHER
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and
place the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.
WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK
Use approved spark plug tester.
DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.
Oil
Oil Recommendations
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use
only high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. DO NOT use
special additives.
1. Choose a viscosity according to the following table:
F 20 0 20 32 40 60 80 /00
C 30 20 /0 _1 IO 2b 3b 4"0
STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE
NOTE: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API
certification mark and API service symbol with "SJ/CF
ENERGY CONSERVING" or higher, is an acceptable
oil at all temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not
alter required oil change intervals.
* The use of multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)
in temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in higher
than normal oil consumption. When using a multi-
viscosity oil, check oil more frequently.
** If using SAE 30 oil in temperatures below 40°F
(4°C), it will result in hard starting and possible engine
bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.
Checking Oil Level
Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least
every 5 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.
1. Make sure pressure washer is on a level surface.
2. Remove oil dipstick and wipe dipstick with clean
cloth. Replace and tighten dipstick. Remove and
and check oil level.
