• 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 (E) to fuel tank (F). Be

careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" (4 cm) (G) of

tank space for fuel expansion.

3. Install fuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.

WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely

flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns

or death.

WHEN ADDING FUEL

• Turn pressure washer 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.

• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

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.

Connect Hose and Water Supply to Pump

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 120000 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. Actual gross

engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other

things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine

variability. Given both the wide array of products on which

engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues

applicable to operating the equipment, the gas engine will not

develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of

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-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

(Testing and Rating Performance of Pressure Washers).
