Operation
Step 1: Safe Location
Before starting the pressure washer, there are two equally
important safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide
poisoning and fire that must be addressed.
Operation Location to Reduce the Risk of Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning
The engine exhaust of all fossil fuel burning equipment,
such as a pressure washer, contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You cannot
smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell
exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon
monoxide gas.
By law, it is required in many states to have a carbon
monoxide alarm in operating condition in your home.
A carbon monoxide alarm is an electronic device that
detects hazardous levels of carbon monoxide. When there
is a buildup of carbon monoxide, the alarm will alert
the occupants by flashing a visual indicator light and an
alarm. Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
WARNING! Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in
minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it.
Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be
exposed to carbon monoxide gas.
• Operate this product only outdoors, far away from
windows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of carbon
monoxide gas accumulating and the potential of being
drawn towards occupied spaces.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or
plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Smoke
alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• Do not run this product inside homes, garages,
basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-
enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors and
windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly
build up in these spaces and can linger for hours, even
after this product has shut off.
• Point exhaust away from all homes and occupied spaces.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this
product, get to fresh air right away. See a doctor. You may
have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Operation
Carbon monoxide alarm
Install carbon monoxide alarms inside
your home. Without working carbon
monoxide alarms, you may not realize
you are getting sick and dying from
carbon monoxide poisoning.

Operation Location to Reduce the Risk of Fire
WARNING! Exhaust heat/gases could ignite
combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank
causing a fire, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Pressure washer must be at least 5ft (1.5m) from any
structure, overhang, trees, windows, doors, and any wall
opening, shrubs, or vegetation over 12 in. (30.5 cm) in
height.
• Do not place pressure washer under a deck or other type
of structure that may confine airflow. Smoke alarm(s)
must be installed and maintained indoors according to the
manufacturer’s instructions /recommendations.
• Carbon monoxide alarms cannot detect smoke.
• It is a violation of California Public Resource Code Section
4442, to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered,
brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the exhaust
system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in
Section 4442, maintained in effective working order.
Other states or federal jurisdictions may have similar laws,
reference Federal Regulation 36 CFR Part 261.52.
• Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or
dealer to obtain a spark arrester designed for the exhaust
system installed on this engine.
• Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the
same position as the original parts.
Step 2: Oil and Fuel
Check Oil Level
CAUTION! Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact
with used motor oil. Used motor oil has been
shown to cause skin cancer in certain laboratory
animals. Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap and
water.
1. Make sure pressure washer is on a level surface.
2. Clean the oil fill area of any debris.
3. Remove oil dipstick and wipe dipstick with clean cloth.
Replace and tighten dipstick. Remove and check oil
level.
4. Verify oil is at full mark (top hole) on dipstick. Replace
and tighten dipstick.
5. If needed, see Maintenance section for instructions to
add oil.
Add Fuel
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded fuel with a minimum of 87
octane.
• Gasoline with an ethanol content up to 10% is
acceptable.
NOTICE Do not mix oil in fuel or modify engine to run on
alternate fuels. Unapproved fuels could damage engine.
See High Altitude for operation above 5,000 ft (1524 m).
WARNING! Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable which could cause burns or fire
resulting in death or serious injury.

Emissions Control
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions
control devices and systems may be performed by any non-
road engine repair establishment or individual. However,
to obtain “no charge” emissions control service, the work
must be performed by a factory authorized dealer. See the
Emissions Warranty.
Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty
Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality
detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF,
SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity
for the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity
for the outdoor temperature range expected. Engines
on most outdoor power equipment operate well with
5W30 Synthetic oil. For equipment operated in hot
temperatures, Vanguard® 15W50 Synthetic oil provides
the best protection.
* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 80°F (27°F) the use of 10W30 may cause increased oil
consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
Add Engine Oil
1. Place pressure washer on level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill
cap/dipstick.
3. Slowly pour oil into oil fill opening. Checking oil level
frequently, fill to full mark (top hole) on dipstick.

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, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine

CRAFTSMAN WARRANTY POLICY
LIMITED WARRANTY
Craftsman® is a registered trademark of Stanley Black & Decker Inc. and is used under license to Briggs & Stratton. Briggs & Stratton warrants that, during the
warranty period specified below, it will repair or replace, free of charge, any part that is defective in material or workmanship or both. Transportation charges on
product submitted for repair or replacement under this warranty must be borne by purchaser. This warranty is effective for and is subject to the time periods and
conditions stated below. For warranty service, find the nearest Authorized Service Dealer in our dealer locator map at BRIGGSANDSTRATTON.COM. The purchaser
must contact the Authorized Service Dealer, and then make the product available to the Authorized Service Dealer for inspection and testing.
There is no other express warranty. Implied warranties, including those of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to the warranty period listed below,
or to the extent permitted by law. Liability for incidental or consequential damages are excluded to the extent exclusion is permitted by law. Some states or countries do not
allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some states or countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
so the above limitation and exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to
state or country to country.**
WARRANTY PERIOD
*Applies to Briggs & Stratton engines only. Warranty coverage of non-Briggs & Stratton engines is provided by that engine manufacturer. Emissions-related components
are covered by the Emissions Warranty Statement.
** In Australia - Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major
failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be
of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. For warranty service, find the nearest Authorized Service Dealer in our dealer locator map at
BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM, or by calling 1300 274 447, or by emailing or writing to [email protected], Briggs & Stratton Australia Pty Ltd, 1
Moorebank Avenue, NSW, Australia, 2170.
The warranty period begins on the date of purchase by the first retail or commercial consumer. “Consumer use” means personal residential household use by a retail
consumer. “Commercial use” means all other uses, including use for commercial, income producing or rental purposes. Once a product has experienced commercial
use, it shall thereafter be considered as a commercial use product for purposes of this warranty.
Save your proof of purchase receipt. If you do not provide proof of the initial purchase date at the time warranty service is requested, the manufacturing date of the
product will be used to determine the warranty period. Product registration is not required to obtain warranty service on Briggs & Stratton products.
ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
Warranty service is available only through Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealers. This warranty covers only defects in materials or workmanship. It does not cover
damage caused by improper use or abuse, improper maintenance or repair, normal wear and tear, or stale or unapproved fuel.
Improper Use and Abuse - The proper, intended use of this product is described in the Operator’s Manual. Using the product in a way not described in the Operator’s
Manual or using the product after it has been damaged will not be covered under this warranty. Warranty coverage will also not be provided if the serial number on the
product has been removed or the product has been altered or modified in any way, or if the product has evidence of abuse such as impact damage or water/chemical
corrosion damage.
Improper Maintenance or Repair - This product must be maintained according to the procedures and schedules provided in the Operator’s Manual, and serviced or
repaired using genuine Briggs & Stratton parts or equivalent. Damage caused by lack of maintenance or use of non-original parts is not covered by warranty.
Normal Wear and Tear - Like most mechanical devices, your unit is subject to wear even when properly maintained. This warranty does not cover repairs when normal use
has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment. Maintenance and wear items such as filters, belts, cutting blades, and brake pads (except engine brake pads) are not
covered by warranty due to wear characteristics alone, unless the cause is due to defects in material or workmanship.
Stale or Unapproved Fuel - In order to function correctly, this product requires fresh fuel that conforms to the criteria specified in the Operator’s Manual. Engine or
equipment damage caused by stale fuel or the use of unapproved fuels (such as E15 or E85 ethanol blends) is not covered by warranty.
Other Exclusions - This warranty excludes damage due to accident, abuse, modifications, alterations, improper servicing, freezing or chemical deterioration. Attachments
or accessories that were not originally packaged with the product are also excluded. There is no warranty coverage on equipment used for primary power in place of
utility power or on equipment used in life support applications. This warranty does not include used, reconditioned, second-hand, or demonstration equipment or
engines. This warranty also excludes failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturer’s control.
