cause burns, fire or explosion
resulting in death or serious injury.
3. Install fuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to
evaporate.
CAUTION! Alcohol-Mended 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, ff 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 A_titude
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 a_titude adjustment information. Operation of
the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters)
with the high altitude kit is not recommended.

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).
Lubricate aH connections shown below, following
these instructions:

ENGINE TECHNICAL iNFORMATiON
This is a single cylinder, overhead valve (OHV), air
cooled 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 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, a_titude), and engine-to engine variability.
Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs &
Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power
for this engine.

Air Cooling System
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling
fins and cannot be observed without partial engine
disassembly. For this reason, we recommend you
have a qualified Sears service dealer clean the cooling
system per recommended intervals (see Maintenance
Schedule). Equally important is to keep top of engine
free from debris. See Clean Debris.
Carburetor Adjustment
The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is
equipped with a non-adjustable idle mixture valve. Top
speed has been set at the factory. If adjustment is
required, see an authorized service dealer.
_, CAUTION Excessively high operating speeds
could result in minor injury.
Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.
o DO NOT tamper with governor spring, links or other parts
to increase engine speed. Pressure washer supplies
correct rated pressure and flow when running at
governed speed.
DO NOT modify pressure washer in any way.
AFTER EACH USE
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of
time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts
and "freeze" pump action. Follow these procedures
after every use:
1. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun in a
safe direction, press red button and squeeze trigger
to relieve trapped pressure and let engine cool.
WARNmNG The high pressure stream of water
through skin and its underlying tissues,
that this equipment produces could cut
resulting in serious injury and possible
amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected, which
could result in serious injury.
Keep high pressurehose connectedto pumpand spray
gun whilesystem is pressurized.
ALWAYSpoint spraygun in safe direction, press red
button and squeezespray gun trigger to releasehigh
pressure,everytime you stop engine.
.
Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure
outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, gun, and
nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.
.
Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about 6 times. This should remove most
liquid in pump.
.
Coil high pressure hose on hose wrap provided on
accessory tray.

WHNTER STORAGE
NOTICE You must protect your unit from freezing
temperatures.
o Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and
render your unk inoperable.
Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1. Follow steps 1-4 in the previous section After Each
Use.
.
Use pump saver, available at Sears, item 74403,
to treat pump. This minimizes freeze damage and
lubricates pistons and seals.
.
Lfpump saver is not availaMe, connect a 3-foot
section of garden hose to water inlet adapter. Pour
RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into
hose. Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3-foot
hose.

LONG TERM STORAGE
Lfyou do not plan to use the pressure washer for more
than 30 days, you must prepare the engine and pump
for long term storage.
Ltis important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience
indicates that 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.
Protect Fuel System
Fue_ Additive:
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days.
Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the
fuel system or on essentia} carburetor parts. To keep
fuel fresh, use Bdggs & Stratton® Advanced Formula
Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer, available wherever Briggs
& Stratton genuine service parts are sold.
For engines equipped with a FRESH START fuel cap,
use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START available in a
drip concentrate cartridge.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine
if a fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions.
Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer
throughout the fuel system before storage.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a
fuel stabilizer, itmust be drained into an approved
container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
The use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is
recommended to maintain freshness.
Change Oil
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase.
Refill with recommended grade. See Changing Engine
Oil.
Protect Pump
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver, Sears item
74403, to treat pump. This prevents freeze damage
and lubricates pistons and seals.
NOTICE PumpSaver is available as an optiona_
accessory. It is not included with the pressure washer.
Contact your local Sears service center to purchase
PumpSaver.
NOTICE You must protect your unit from freezing
temperatures.
Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and
render your unit inoperable.
Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To use PumpSaver, make sure the pressure washer is
turned off and disconnected from supply water. Read
and follow aHinstructions and warnings given on the
PumpSaver container.
Other Storage Tips
