use, see HighAltitude.
*Gasolinewith up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15%
MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
NOTICE:Avoid pressure washer damage.
Failureto follow Operator's Manualfor fuel
recommendations voids warranty.
• DONOTuseunapprovedgasolinesuchasE85.
• DONOTmixoil in gasoline.
•DONOTmodifyengineto runonalternatefuels.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel
stabilizerwhen adding fuel. SeeStorage.Aii fuel is not the
same. If you experiencestarting or performanceproblems
after using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or change
brands. This engine is certified to operateon gasoline. The
emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine
Modifications).
_, WARNING: Fueland its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fireor explosion can causesevere burns
or death.
WHENADDINGFUEL
•Turn pressure washerOFFand let it cool at least2 minutes
before removing fuel cap. Loosen capslowly to relievepressure
in tank.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors.
•DONOToverfill tank. Allow spacefor fuel expansion.
•If fuel spills, wait until it evaporatesbefore starting engine.

formation of acids during storage.Acidic gascandamagethe
fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be treated
with a fuel preserveror emptied beforestorage of 30 days or
longer. If adding a fuel preserver,fill the fuel tank with fresh
fuel. if only partially tiffed, 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. Usefresh fuel next season.
SeeStoragefor additional information.
NEVERuse engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damagemay occur.
HighAltitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum
85 octane /85 AKi (89 RON)gasolineis acceptable.To
remainemissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operationwithout this adjustment will cause
decreasedperformance, increasedfuel consumption, and
increasedemissions. Seea qualified Searsdealerfor high
altitude adjustment information. Operationof the engine at
altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude
kit is not recommended.

EN61NETECHNICALiNFORMATiON
This is a single cylinder, L-head,air cooledengine, it is a low
emissions engine.
Jnthe State of CaJJfornia,ModeJ120000 enginesare certified
by the California Air Resources Boardto meet emissions
standardsfor 125 hours. Such certification does not grant
the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any
additional warranties with respectto the performanceor
operational life of this engine.Theengine is warranted solely
according to the product and emissions warranties stated
elsewherein this manual.
Power RaUn[Is
Thegross power rating for individual gas engine models is
labeled in accordancewith SAE(Society of Automotive
Engineers)code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque
Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been
obtained and corrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995
(Revision 2002-05). Torquevalues are derived at 3060 RPM;
horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM.Actual gross
engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other
things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine
variability. Givenboth the wide arrayof products on which
enginesare placed andthe variety of environmental issues
applicableto operatingthe equipment,the gas engine will not
developthe ratedgross power when used in a given pieceof
power equipment (actual "on-site"or net power). This
difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not
limited to, accessories(air cleaner, exhaust, charging,
cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations,
ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity,
altitude), and engine-to-enginevariability. Dueto
manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton
may substitute an engine of higher ratedpower for this
Seriesengine.
This pressurewasher is rated in accordanceto the Pressure
Washer Manufacture Association (PWMA) standard PW101
(Testing and Rating Performanceof PressureWashers).

havebeensubjected to operator abuseor negligence.To
receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must
maintain pressurewasher as instructed in this manual
including proper storage asdetailed in Storage.
Someadjustments will needto be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressurewasher.
All service and adjustments should be madeat least once
eachseason.Follow the requirementsin the Maintenance
Schedulechart above.
NOTE:Oncea yearyou should clean or replacethe spark
plug and replacethe air filter. A new spark plug and clean air
filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and helpyour engine run
better and last longer.

WINTERSTORAGE ChangeOil
NOTICE: You must protect your unit from freezing
temperatures.
• Failure to do so will permanently damageyour pump and render
your unit inoperable.
• Freezedamage is not covered underwarranty.
To protectthe unit from freezingtemperatures:
1. Follow steps 1-4 in the previous section AfterEach Use.
2. Use pump saver, availableat Sears retailitem 6039, to
treat pump. This minimizes freeze damageand lubricates
pistons and seals.
3. If pump saver is not available,connect a 3-foot section
of garden hoseto water inlet adapter. Pour
RV-antifreeze (antifreezewithout alcohol) into hose. Pull
recoil handletwice. Disconnect 3-foot hose.
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase.Refill
with recommendedgrade. See ChangingEngine Oil.
Oil Cylinder Bore
* Removespark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of
cleanengine oil into the cylinder.
*install spark plug and pull starter handleslowly to
distribute oil.
Protect Pump
To protect the pump from damagecaused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver,item 6039, to treat
pump. This preventsfreeze damageand lubricates pistons
and seals.
NOTE:PumpSaveris availableasan optional accessory, it is
not included with the pressure washer.Contact your local
Searsservice center to purchase PumpSaver.
4. Store unit in a clean,dry area.
LOHGTERM STORAGE
If you do not plan to usethe pressure washer for morethan
30 days,you must preparethe engine and pump for long
term storage.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essentialfuel system partssuch asthe carburetor, fuel filter,
fuel hoseor tank during storage.Also, experienceindicates
that alcohol-blendedfuels (called gasohol, ethanol or
methanol) canattract moisture, which leadsto separation
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gascan
damagethefuel system of an enginewhile in storage.
ProtectFuelSystem
FuelAdditive:
Fuelcan becomestale when stored over 30 days.Stalefuel
causesacid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or
on essentialcarburetor parts. To keepfuel fresh, use Briggs
& Stratton FRESHSTART® fuel stabilizer, availableasa
liquid additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.
Thereis no needto drain gasolinefrom the engine if a fuel
stabilizer is added according to instructions. Runthe engine
for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizerthroughout the fuel
system. The engine andfuel canthen be stored up to
24 months.
If gasoline in the engine hasnot beentreated with a fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approvedcontainer. Run
the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The useof a fuel
stabilizer in the storage container is recommendedto
maintain freshness.
flOTICE: You must protect your unit from freezing
temperatures.
• Failureto do so will permanently damage your pump and render
your unit inoperable.
• Freezedamageis not covered under warranty.
To usePumpSaver,make surethe pressurewasher is turned
off and disconnected from supply water. Readand follow all
instructions and warnings given on the PumpSavercontainer.
Other Storage Tips
1. DONOTstore fuel from one seasonto another unless it
hasbeen treated asdescribed in Protect FuelSystem.
2. Replacefuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt
in fuel cancause problems if it's usedwith this unit.
3. Coverunit with a suitable protective cover that does not
retain moisture.
A, WARNING:Storage covers canbe flammable.
*DO NOTplacea storage cover over ahot pressure washer.
. Let equipmentcool for a sufficient time before placing the
cover on the equipment.
4. Store unit in a clean and dry area.
