To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a
fuel stabilizer when adding fuel. See Storage. Ali 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.

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.

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 PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

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, 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.
