• DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been

properly serviced with the recommended oil. This could result in an engine failure.

4. Replace oil fill cap/dipstick and fully tighten.

Add Fuel

Fuel must meet these requirements:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). For high

altitude use, see High Altitude.

• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15%

MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.

NOTICE Avoid pressure washer damage. Failure to follow Operator’s Manual for fuel recommendations voids warranty.

• DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E85.

• DO NOT mix oil in gasoline.

• DO NOT modify engine to run on 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. 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.

2. Slowly add regular unleaded fuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be

careful not to overfill. To allow for fuel expansion, do not fill above the bottom of the fuel tank neck.

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 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.

WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable

and explosive which could cause burns, fire or explosion resulting in death, serious injury and/or property damage.

WHEN ADDING FUEL

• Turn pressure washer engine OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors.

• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.

• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

• Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.

• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

Fresh Start® Fuel Cap

The Fresh Start® fuel cap (A) is designed to hold a cartridge (B) 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 at your local Sears or by calling 1-800-4-MY-HOME (469-4663) or online at www.sears.ca. It is not included with the pressure washer.

Read and follow all instructions and warnings given in the Fresh Start® fuel preserver cartridge package.

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 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).

Connect Hose and Water Supply to Pump

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

• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void warranty.

NOTICE Remove and discard the shipping caps from the pump’s high pressure outlet and water inlet before attaching hoses.

1. Uncoil high pressure hose and attach one end of hose to

base of spray gun. Tighten by hand.

2. Attach other end of high pressure hose to high pressure

outlet on pump. Tighten by hand.

3. Before connecting garden hose to water inlet, inspect

inlet screen (A). Clean screen if it contains debris or have it replaced if damaged. DO NOT run pressure washer if

inlet screen is damaged or missing.

4. Run water through your garden hose for 30 seconds to clean out any debris.

NOTICE DO NOT siphon standing water for the water supply. Use ONLY cold water (less than 100°F).

NOTICE Using a One Way Valve (vacuum breaker or check valve) at pump inlet could cause pump or inlet connector damage.

• There MUST be at least ten feet of unrestricted garden hose

between the pressure washer inlet and any device, such as a vacuum breaker or check valve.

• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this

instruction will void warranty.

5. Connect the garden hose (not to exceed 50 feet in length) to the water inlet. Tighten by hand.

6. Turn ON the water, press red button (B) on the gun and

squeeze the trigger to purge the pump system of air and impurities.

ENGINE TECHNICAL INFORMATION

This is a single cylinder, L-head, air cooled engine. It is a low emissions engine.

In the State of California, Model 110000 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 gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; 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 gas 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 Series engine.

LONG TERM STORAGE

If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than 30 days, you must prepare the engine and pump for long term storage.

It is 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

Fuel 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 essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs & 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.

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 to treat pump. This prevents freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.

NOTICE PumpSaver is available as an optional 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 all instructions and warnings given on the PumpSaver container.

Other Storage Tips

1. DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless it

has been treated as described in Protect Fuel System.

2. Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt

in fuel can cause problems if it’s used with this unit.

3. Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does not

retain moisture.

4. Store unit in a clean and dry area.

STORAGE

WARNING Storage covers could cause a fire

resulting in death, serious injury and/or property damage.

• DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot pressure washer.

• Let equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing the cover on the equipment.
