NOTICE Pause to permit oil to settle. Wipe dipstick clean each time oil level is checked. DO NOT overﬁll.

NOTICE Improper treatment of pressure washer could damage it and shorten its life.

• DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been

properly serviced with the recommended oil. This could result in an engine failure.

5. Replace oil ﬁll cap/dipstick and fully tighten.

Add Fuel

Fuel must meet these requirements:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). For high

altitude use, see High Altitude.

• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable.

NOTICE Use of unapproved fuels could damage generator and voids warranty.

• DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E15 and E85.

• DO NOT mix oil in gasoline or modify engine to run on alternate fuels.

WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely ﬂammable

and explosive which could cause burns, ﬁre or explosion resulting in death or serious injury.

WHEN ADDING FUEL

• Turn pressure washer engine OFF (0) and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors.

• DO NOT overﬁll tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.

• Keep fuel away from sparks, open ﬂames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

• Check fuel lines, tank, cap and ﬁttings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.

• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

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 ft. (1524 m), 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 ft. (762 m) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.

Not for

Reproduction

Fresh Start® Fuel Cap

The Fresh Start® fuel cap (A) is designed to hold a cartridge(B) 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.

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 (C), high pressure hose (D), spray gun (E), and nozzle extension(F).

NOTICE Purchase a Fresh Start® fuel preserver cartridge, Sears item 33386, at your local Sears or by calling 1-888-331-4569 or online at www.sears.com. It is not included with the pressure washer.

Read and follow all instructions and warnings given in the Fresh Start® fuel preserver cartridge package.

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. In the State of California, Model 110000 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 gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque values are derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with “rpm” called out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www. BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. 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 gasoline 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 engine.
