Add Fuel

Fuel must meet these requirements:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude

use, see “High Alltitude” on page 9.

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

MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.

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 to fuel tank. Be careful

not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" (38 mm) of tank space

for fuel expansion.

3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before

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 performance issues, the fuel system should

be treated with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of

30 days or longer. To protect the fuel system from gum

formation, use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START™ fuel

stabilizer plus, or FRESH START™ continuous fuel preserver

(concentrated liquid cartridge). 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” on page 21 for additional information.

To apply detergent, follow these steps:

1. Review use of adjustable nozzle.

2. Prepare detergent solution as required by job.

3. Place filter end of detergent siphoning tube into

detergent container.

NOTE: Make sure the filter is fully submerged in detergent

while applying detergent.

4. Slide adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure mode.

Detergent cannot be applied with nozzle in high pressure

position.

5. Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.

Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray gun

and pump. Turn on water.

NOTICE

• Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and without

the water turned ON will damage the pump.

• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this

instruction will void warranty.

You must attach all hoses before you start the engine.

NOTICE

• When inserting the filter into a detergent solution bottle, route

tube so as to keep it from inadvertently contacting hot muffler.

Contact with the hot muffler can damage detergent

siphoning tube.

• Always make sure the surface you will clean will not be

damaged by the high pressure spray by testing in a hidden area.

The high pressure stream of water that this

equipment produces can cut through skin and its

underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and

possible amputation.

The turbo nozzle produces an extremely high

pressure spray which is capable of removing

paint and cutting holes through surfaces if held

too close.

WARNING

• Use ONLY pressure washer safe detergents/soaps.

Chemicals can cause bodily injury, and/or property

damage.

CAUTION

6. Engage trigger lock on spray gun and start engine

following instructions “How to Start Your Pressure

Washer”.

7. Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower

portion of area to be washed and work upward, using

long, even, overlapping strokes.

8. Allow detergent to "soak in" for 3-5 minutes before

washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent

surface from drying. DO NOT allow detergent to dry on

(prevents streaking).

IMPORTANT: You must flush the detergent siphoning system

after each use by placing the filter into a bucket of clean

water, then run the pressure washer in low pressure for

1-2 minutes.

WARNING

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 Series 90000 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). 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 horsepower). 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.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Oil

Oil Recommendations

NOTE: Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For Service

SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher. DO NOT use special additives.

1. Choose a viscosity according to the table below:

NOTE: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API certification

mark and API service symbol with “SJ/CF ENERGY

CONSERVING” or higher, is an acceptable oil at all

temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil

change intervals.

SAE 30: 40°F and higher (5°C and higher) is good for all

purpose use above 40°F, use below 40°F will cause hard

starting.

10W-30: 0 to 100°F (-18 to 38°C) is better for varying

temperature conditions. This viscosity improves cold weather

starting, but may increase oil consumption above 80°F

(27°C).

*Check oil level frequently at higher temperatures.

Synthetic 5W-30: -20 to 120°F (-30 to 40 °C) provides the

best protection at all temperatures as well as improved

starting with less oil consumption.

5W-30: 40°F and below (5°C and below) is recommended for

winter use and works best in cold conditions.

Checking Oil Level

Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least every

5 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.

1. Make sure pressure washer is on a level surface.

2. Remove oil dipstick and wipe dipstick with clean cloth.

Replace and tighten dipstick. Remove and and check oil

level.

3. Verify oil is at “Full” mark on dipstick. Replace and

tighten dipstick.

• NEVER repair leaking connections with sealant of any kind.

Replace o-ring or seal.

The high pressure stream of water that this

equipment produces can cut through skin and its

underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and

possible amputation.

functioning as designed.

If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot.

Allow the muffler to cool before servicing spark arrester.

• Remove spark arrester screen for cleaning and

inspection.

• Replace if screen is damaged.

Air Cooling System

Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and

cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For

this reason, we recommend you have an authorized Sears

service dealer clean the cooling system per recommended

intervals (see “Maintenance Schedule” on page 16). Equally

important is to keep top of engine free from debris. See “Clean

Debris”.

Clean Combustion Chamber

We recommend you have an authorized Sears service dealer

remove combustion deposits from the cylinder, cylinder head,

top of piston and around valves per recommended intervals

(see “Maintenance Schedule” on page 16).

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. Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter into a

pail of clean water while running pressure washer in low

pressure mode. Flush for one to two minutes.

2. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun in a

safe direction and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped

pressure, engage trigger lock on spray gun and let

engine cool.

3. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure

outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, gun, and nozzle

extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.

4. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil

handle about six times. This should remove most liquid

in pump.

5. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
