1. Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface.
2. Cleanarea around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill
cap/dipstick.
3. Using oil funnel (optional), slowly pour contents of
provided oil bottle into oil fill opening.
.
2.
Cleanarea around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
Slowly add regular unleaded fuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be
careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" (4 cm) (O) of tank
space for fuel expansion.
NOTICE Improper treatment of pressure washer can
damage it and shorten its life.
• DO NOTattempt to crank or start the engine before it has been
properly serviced with the recommended oil. This may result in an
engine failure.
4. Replace oil fill cap/dipstick and fully tighten.
Add Fuel
Fuel mustmeet these requirements:
* Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
* 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.
Failureto follow Operator's Manual for fuel
recommendations voids warranty.
• DONOT useunapproved gasoline such asE85.
• DONOT mix oil in gasoline.
• DONOT modifyengine 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).
A. WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns
or death.
WHEN ADDINGFUEL
• Turn pressure washer OFFand 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 spacefor fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporatesbefore starting engine.
• Keepfuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

3. Install fuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.
(IAIITIOII! Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leadsto 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.
NEVERuse engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damage may occur.
HighAltitude
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. Operationwithout this adjustment win cause
decreasedperformance, 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.
FreshStart@ Fuel Cap
The Fresh Start® fuel cap (D) is designedto hold a
cartridge (E) which contains fuel preserver. Adding fuel
preserver helps keepfuel fresh and carburetors clean for
easier starting all season long. The Fresh Start® fuel cap, if
equipped with a cartridge, automatically drips concentrated
fuel preserver into your fuel tank so you don't haveto add it
yourself.
