Irops of water may be released through this valve to
;ool the unit. The heated water will be purged from the
)ottom of the pump.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
fo operate the engine you will need to do the following.
A CAUTION: Always check engine oil level before
every start. Running engine low of oil or out of oil
could result In serious damage.
A CAUTION; Always check pump oil level before
every start. Running pump low on oil could result
in pump damage.
Adding Pump Oil
Before running the high pressure washer, check the
pump oil level by viewing the sight glass on the side of
the pump. When properly filled, the oil will be at the
half way point marked by the two triangles. Your pres
sure washer pump is shipped with oil. Add oil only if oil
level is lower than the half way point on the sight glass.
Do not overfill. Use 30 weight non-detergent oil if
necessary.
A CAUTION: Do Not use engine oil that has been
shipped with your unit in your pump. Engine oil
is detergent and your pump uses a non-detergent
oil. Detergent oil can cause damage to your pump.
Engine Oil
Your unit has been shipped without oil in the engine.
A bottle of SAE 30 weight oil is included in the carton.
Remove oil plug located on the side of engine. Using a
funnel, fill engine crankcase up to the last thread in the
oil port. Pour slowly. Oil reading will be inaccurate on
unlevel ground.
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use
a high quality detergent oil classified “For Service SF,
SG, SH rated SAE 30 weight. Use no special addi
tives. Select the oil’s viscosity grade according to
you expected operating temperatures.
SAE viscosity Grades
STAHTIwe TCMPEHATJRE mWQE ANTICIPATEO BEFORE NEXT OLCmNOE
Aircooled engines run hotter than automotive engines.
The use of multi-viscosity oil such as (10W-30, etc.) in
ambient temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in
higher than normal oil consumption. If multi-viscosity
oil is used, check the oil level more frequently to
prevent any posssible engine damage due to lack or
lubrication.
Use of SAE30 oil below 40°F (4°C) will result in hard
starting and possible engine damage due to inad
equate lubrication.
Gasoline
Your pressure washer engine is 4 cycle. Use unleaded
fuel only.
A CAUTION: Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always
allow room for fuel expansion.
A WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never
fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do
not smoke or have open flame when filling fuel
tank.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
If unleaded fuel is not available, leaded fuel may be
used.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuel filter hose or tank during storage. Also,
experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract mois
ture 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 emptied before storage of 30
days or longer. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may
occur.
NOTE: Never start pressure washer with cutwater
source turned on and connected to pressure washer.

Briggs & Stratton welcomes warranty repair and apologizes
to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service
Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty repairs
are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty
service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty would
not apply if engine damage occurred because of misuse, lack
of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or
improper installation. Simiiarly, warranty is void if the serial
number of the engine has been removed or the engine has
been altered or modified.
If a customer differs with the decision of the Service*Dealer, an
investigation wili be made to determine whether the warranty
appiies. Ask the Service Dealer to submit ail supporting facts to
his Distributor or the Factory for review, if the Distributor or the
Factory decides that the ciaim is justified, the customer will be
fully reimbursed for those items that are defective. To avoid
misunderstanding which might occur between the customer
and the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of engine
failure that the warranty does not cover.
Improper maintenance;
The life of an engine depends upon the conditions under
which it operates, and the care it receives. Some applications,
such as tiilers, pumps and rotary mowers, are very often used
in dusty or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to
be premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust,
spark plug cleaning grit, or other abrasive material that has
entered the engine because of improper maintenance, is not
covered by warranty.
This warranty covers engine reiated defective materiai
and/or workmanship oniy. and not repiacement or refund
of the equipment to which the engine may be mounted.
Nor does the warranty extend to repairs required
because of:
1. PROBLEMS CAUSED BY PARTS THAT ARE
ORIGINAL BRIGGS & STRATTON PARTS.
2. Equipment controls or installations that prevent starting,
cause unsatisfactory engine performance, or shorten
engine life. (Contact equipment manufacturer.)
3. Leaking carburetors, ciogged fuel pipes, sticking vaives,
or other damage, caused by using contaminated or stale
fuel. (Use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline and Briggs &
Stratton gasoline stabilizer. Part No. 5041.)
NOT
4. Parts which are scored or broken because an engine was
operated with insufficient or contaminated lubricating oil,
or an incorrect grade of lubricating oil (check oil level daily
or after every 8 hours of operation. Refill when necessary
and change at recommended intervals.) Read "Owner’s
Manual.”
5. Repair or adjustment of associated parts or assemblies
such as clutches, transmissions, remote controls, etc.,
which are not manufactured by Briggs & Stratton.
6. Damage or wear to parts caused by dirt, which entered
the engine because of improper air cleaner maintenance,
re-assembly, or use of a non-original air cleaner element
or cartridge. (At recommended intervals, clean and re-oil
the Oil-Foam® element or the foam pre-cleaner, and
replace the cartridge.) Read “Owner's Manual.”
7. Parts damaged by overspeeding, or overheating caused
by grass, debris, or dirt, which plugs or clogs the cooling
fins, or flywheel area, or damage caused by operating the
engine in a confined area without sufficient ventilation.
(Clean fins on the cylinder, cylinder head and flywheel at
recommended intervals.) Read “Owner’s Manual.”
8. Engine or equipment parts broken by excessive vibration
caused by a loose engine mounting, loose cutter blades,
unbalanced blades or loose or unbalanced impellers,
improper attachment of equipment to engine crankshaft,
overspeeding or other abuse in operation.
9. A bent or broken crankshaft, caused by striking a solid
object with the cutter blade of a rotary lawn mower, or
excessive v-belt tightness.
10. Routine tune-up or adjustment of the engine.
11. Engine or engine component failure, i.e., combustion
chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides, or burned
starter motor windings, caused by the use of alternate
fuels such as, liquified petroleum, natural gas, altered
gasolines, etc.
