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 petrol. 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.
Allow about 4 cm (1.5”) (C) of tank space for fuel expansion.

High Altitude
Ataltitudesover1500meters(5,000feet),aminimum85octane/85AKI(89
RON) petrol 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 Briggs & Stratton
Authorized Dealer for high altitude adjustment information. Operation of the engine at
altitudes below 750 meters (2,500 feet) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.
Lubricate O-Rings Figure 6
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), spray gun (B),nozzleextension(C), high pressure
hose threaded end (D)andhighpressurehosequickconnectend(E).
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).
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.

After Each Use
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time. Sediments or minerals
can deposit on pump parts and freeze pump action. Follow these procedures after
everyuse:
1. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun in a safe direction, press red
button and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped pressure, and let engine cool.
2. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure outlet on pump. Drain
water from hose, spray gun, and nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off the
hose.
3. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil handle about six times. This
should remove most liquid in pump.
4. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
5. If storing for more than 30 days, see Long Term Storage.
Winter Storage
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 protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1. Follow steps 1-3 in the previous section After Each Use.
2. Use pump saver, Model 6039, to treat pump. This minimizes freeze damage
and lubricates pistons and seals.
3. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3 ft. (1 m) section of garden hose to
waterinletadapter.PourRV-antifreeze(antifreezewithoutalcohol)intohose.
Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3 ft. (1 m) hose.
4. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
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.
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.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained
into an approved container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a
fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.
Change Oil
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill with recommended grade.
See Changing Engine Oil in Engine Maintenance.
Protecting the Pump
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral deposits or freezing, use
PumpSaver, Model 6039, 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 the nearest authorized service center to purchase
PumpSaver.

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.
WARNING Storage covers could cause a fire resulting in death, serious
injury and/or property damage.

WARNING The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces
could cut through skin and its underlying tissues, resulting in serious
injury and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is stopped and
water is disconnected, which could result in serious injury.

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.
* This pressure washer is rated in accordance to the Pressure Washer Manufacturers Association (PWMA) standard PW101-2010 (Testing and Rating Performance of Pressure
Washers).

performances, une augmentation de la consommation de carburant et une augmentation
des émissions dans l’environnement. Consulter un concessionnaire Briggs & Stratton
agréée pour toute information sur le réglage pour la haute altitude. Il n’est pas conseillé
d’utiliser l’appareil à une altitude inférieure à 762 mètres avec le kit de haute altitude.
Lubrification des chaînes Figure 6
La lubrification des joints toriques est extrêmement importante pour l’installation et le
fonctionnement. L’utilisation d’un produit lubrifiant (vaseline ou graisse synthétique)
pendant le montage aide les joints toriques à s’emboîter correctement et fournit une
meilleure étanchéité. Elle permet aussi de protéger les joints toriques contre les dommages
provoqués par l’abrasion, le pincement ou la coupure et prolonge leur durée de vie.
AVIS TOUJOURS appliquer une petite quantité de produit lubrifiant sur les joints
toriques avant de monter le tuyau d’arrosage sur la pompe (A), le pistolet de
pulvérisation (B), rallonge de buse (C), extrémité filetée du tuyau haute pression (D),
extrémité du tuyau haute pression à raccord rapide (E).
Lubrifier tous les raccords indiqués ci-dessous en suivants ces instructions :
1. Inspecter et nettoyer les surfaces des raccords avant la lubrification et le montage.
2. Utiliser les produits lubrifiants avec parcimonie pendant le montage ; un film fin
suffit.
3. Utiliser un petit pinceau plat ou un chiffon de coton pour appliquer la
graisse directement sur les joints toriques lorsqu’ils ne sont pas directement
accessibles(raccordQC,raccordM22).
AVERTISSEMENT Le carburant et ses vapeurs sont extrêmement
inflammables et explosifs, ce qui peut provoquer des brûlures,
un incendie ou une explosion susceptibles d’entraîner la mort,
de graves blessures et/ou des dommages matériels.
