How to Use the Hose Reel
Your cleaning system is equipped with a hose reel
designed to store the hose when unit is not in use.
See "Prepare Unit for Storage" for long term storage of
more than 30 days.
After each use:
1. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high
pressure outlet on pump.
2. Drain water from hose.
3. Slide one end of hose into hole on hose reel. Turn
hose reel with handle to coil hose onto reel.
Tips
• NEVER use garden hose inlet to siphon detergent
OF wax.
• if you hold the spray nozzle too far away from the
object being cleaned, washing will not be as
effective.
• Always store the cleaning system with the Dial-A-
Cleaner TM selector knob in the OFF position.
Automatic Cool Down System
(Thermal ReLief}
if you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray
gun, circulating water in the pump can reach
temperatures above 125°F. The system engages to
cool the pump by discharging the warm water onto
the ground.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use your cleaning system with
the hose coiled onto the hose reel. The hose reel is for
storage purposes only.

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 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 emissions 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
equipment, it may be that the engine you have
purchased will not develop the rated horsepower when
used in a piece 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 piece 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 utilized
in similar applications, and will therefore not
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
authorized Sears 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 19-20.
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.
