Lubricate O-Rings; Battery Charger - Briggs & Stratton Brute Operator's Manual

3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate
before starting engine.
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 an Authorized Briggs & Stratton 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.

Lubricate O-Rings

Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for
installation and operation. The use of a lubricant
(petroleum or synthetic grease) during assembly helps
seat o-rings properly and provides an improved seal. It
also helps protect the o-ring from damage by abrasion,
pinching or cutting and extends the life of the o-ring.
NOTICE ALWAYS apply a small amount of lubricant
on o-rings prior to assembling the garden hose to the
pump inlet (A), high pressure hose to pump outlet (B),
high pressure hose (C), nozzle extension (D), and
spray gun (E).
A
Lubricate all connections shown below, following
these instructions:
1. Inspect and clean connecting surfaces prior to
lubrication and assembly.
2. Use lubricants sparingly during assembly; a light
film is all that is required.
3. Use a small brush or cotton swab to apply grease
directly to o-rings where they are not accessible
(QC fitting, M22 fitting).

Battery Charger

Use battery float charger jack to keep the starting
battery charged and ready for use. Battery charging
should be done in a dry location, such as inside a
garage.
1. Plug charger into unit's "Battery Float Charger"
jack, which is located next to the start switch. Plug
battery charger into a 120 Volt AC wall receptacle.
2. Unplug charger from unit and wall outlet when
pressure washer is being started and while it is in
operation.
3. Keep this charger plugged in when pressure
washer is not in use to prolong battery life. The
charger has a built in float equalizer and will not
overcharge the battery, even when plugged in for
an extended period of time.
NOTICE See Battery Maintenance for additional
information.
