Add Engine Oil
1. Place pressure washer on a at, level surface.
2. Clean area around oil ll and remove yellow oil ll
cap/dipstick.
3. Hold neck of supplied oil pouch and remove cap.
4. Slowly pour contents of oil pouch into oil ll
opening. Checking oil level frequently, ll to point
of overowing.
NOTICE Pause to permit oil to settle. Wipe dipstick
clean each time oil level is checked. DO NOT overll.
NOTICE Improper treatment of pressure washer
could damage it and shorten its life.
• DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has
been properly serviced with the recommended oil. This
could result in an engine failure.
5. Replace oil ll cap/dipstick and fully tighten.
Add Fuel
Fuel must meet 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) 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
dierent fuel provider or change brands. This engine is
certied to operate on gasoline. The emission control
system for this engine is EM (Engine Modications).
1. Clean area around fuel ll cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add clean, fresh, UNLEADED fuel to fuel
tank. Be careful not to overll. To allow for fuel
expansion, do not ll above the bottom of the fuel
tank neck.
3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate
before starting engine.
High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 ft. (1,524 m), 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 ft.
(762 m) 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 (B), spray gun (C),
and spray wand (D).
Lubricate all connections shown, following these
instructions:
1. Inspect and clean connecting surfaces prior to
lubrication and assembly.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely
ammable and explosive which
could cause burns, re or explosion
resulting in death or serious injury.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
• Turn pressure washer engine 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 overll tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open ames, pilot lights,
heat, and other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap and ttings frequently for
cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
