Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is

acceptable.

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

. DO NOT useunapproved gasolinesuch as E15 and E85.
. DO NOT mixoil in gasoline or modifyengine to runon

alternate fuels.

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

not the same. Ifyou 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).

WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely

flammable and explosive which could
cause burns, fire or explosion

resulting in death or serious injury.

3. Install fuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to
evaporate.

CAUTmON! 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. Ifadding 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.

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 propedy 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:

1 Inspect and clean connecting surfaces prior to

lubrication and assembly.

2 Use lubricants sparingly during assembly; a light

film is aHthat 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).

High Altitude
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 altitude adjustment information. Operation of
the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters)
with the high altitude kit is not recommended.

Connect Hose and Water Supply to Pump

NOTICE DO NOT run the pump without the water
supply connected and turned on.

o Damageto equipment resultingfrom failureto follow this

instruction willvoid warranty.

4. Run water through garden hose for 30 seconds to

flush it of debris. Turn off water.

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.
