Operation

Oil Recommendations Figure
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.
* Below 4°C (40°F) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 27°C (80°F) the use of 10W30 may cause increased oil
consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
Checking/Adding Engine Oil Figure
Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least
every 8 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.
1. Make sure pressure washer is on a level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill (4,M) and remove yellow oil
fill cap/dipstick.
3. Verify oil is at the point of overflowing (6,A) at oil fill
opening.
4. If needed, slowly pour oil into oil fill opening. Checking
oil level frequently, fill to point of overflowing.
NOTICE Pause to permit oil to settle. Wipe dipstick clean
each time oil level is checked. DO NOT overfill.
5. Replace and tighten oil fill cap/dipstick.
NOTICE DO NOT attempt to crank or start engine before
before it has been properly serviced with recommended oil.
This could result in an engine failure.
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.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON'T
POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES. RETURN
USED OIL TO COLLECTION CENTERS.
Add Fuel
Figure

Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 91 RON (87 octane/87 AKI). For high
altitude use, see High Altitude.
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable.
NOTICE Use of unapproved fuels could damage
pressure washer and voids warranty. DO NOT use
unapproved gasoline such as E15 and E85. DO NOT mix
oil in gasoline or 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).
