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 Altitude.
•Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
NOTICE
Avoid pressure washer damage.
Failure to follow Operator’s Manual for fuel recommendations voids warranty.
•DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E85.
•DO NOT mix oil in gasoline.
•DO NOT 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).
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
•Turn pressure washer 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 overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
•If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
•Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
•DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
1.Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2.Slowly add regular unleaded fuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" (4 cm) (C) of tank space for fuel expansion.

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.
Connect Hose and Water Supply to Pump
NOTICE
DO NOT run the pump without the water supply connected and turned on.
•Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void warranty.
NOTE: Remove and discard the shipping caps from the pump’s high pressure outlet and water inlet before attaching hoses.
1.Uncoil high pressure hose and attach quick connect end of hose to base of spray gun. Pull down on collar of quick connect, slide onto spray gun and let go of collar. Tug on hose to be sure of tight connection.
WARNING
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.
•Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while system is pressurized.
•Always be certain spray gun, nozzles and accessories are correctly attached.
2.Similarly, attach other end of high pressure hose to high pressure outlet (D) on pump. Pull down on collar of quick connect, slide onto pump and let go of collar. Pull on hose to be sure of tight connection.

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