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. If adding a fuel preserver, fill the fuel tank with fresh fueL If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fue_ 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 altitude adjustment information. Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.
Fresh Start@ Fue_ Cap
The Fresh Start fuel cap (C) is designed to hold a cartridge (D) 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.
NOTICE Purchase a Fresh Start fuel preserver cartridge, Sears item 33386, at your local Sears or by calling 1-888-331-4589 or online at www.sears.com. It
is not included with the pressure washer. Read and follow all instructions and warnings given in

ENGHNE TECHNICAL MNFORMATMON
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, Bdggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this engine.
