Air Cooling System

Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For this reason, we recommend you have a qualified service dealer clean the cooling system per recommended intervals (see Maintenance Schedule in beginning of Maintenance section). Equally important is to keep top of engine free from debris. See Clean Debris.

Keep areas within heavy line clear of debris.

After Each Use

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and freeze pump action. Follow these procedures after every use:

1.Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun in a safe direction, press red button and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped pressure, and let engine cool.

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.

Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause injury.

Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while system is pressurized.

ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red button and squeeze spray gun trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop engine.

2.Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, gun, and nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.

3.Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil handle about six times. This should remove most liquid in pump.

4.Store unit in a clean, dry area.

5.If storing for more than 30 days, see Long Term Storage on next page.

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK

Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers, or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite fuel vapors.

Pressure Washer specifications

Briggs & Stratton pressure washers are renowned for their reliability, performance, and user-friendly design, making them a popular choice for homeowners and professionals alike. These powerful cleaning machines employ advanced technologies that facilitate efficient and thorough cleaning of various surfaces, including driveways, patios, vehicles, and outdoor furniture.

At the heart of every Briggs & Stratton pressure washer is a robust engine designed to deliver high performance. Most models are equipped with OHV (Overhead Valve) engines that provide better fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and quieter operation, ensuring you get the job done without disturbing the neighborhood. The engines deliver impressive pressure ratings, usually ranging from 1,500 to 3,300 PSI, allowing users to tackle even the toughest cleaning tasks with ease.

One of the standout features of Briggs & Stratton pressure washers is their ergonomic design. Many models feature an adjustable spray nozzle, enabling users to customize the water pressure according to the task at hand. Whether you're dealing with delicate surfaces or stubborn grime, the ability to switch from high-pressure jets to gentler sprays enhances versatility and reduces the risk of damage.

In addition to adjustability, Briggs & Stratton pressure washers often incorporate the brand's own exclusive technology called "PowerFlow+." This innovative feature enables users to draw water from a nearby source (like a pond or rain barrel) while simultaneously applying detergent through a dedicated soap nozzle. This dual capability makes cleaning faster and more effective, particularly for large areas.

Durability is another notable characteristic of Briggs & Stratton pressure washers. Many models are built with high-quality components, such as reinforced frames and heavy-duty wheels, allowing for easy maneuverability across various terrains. The inclusion of large, pneumatic tires enhances stability and provides added traction during use, ensuring the washer can withstand the rigors of different cleaning environments.

Moreover, Briggs & Stratton emphasizes user convenience with features like onboard storage for nozzles, hoses, and accessories. This thoughtful design minimizes the likelihood of misplacing essential tools and ensures everything needed for cleaning is within reach.

In summary, Briggs & Stratton pressure washers stand out for their powerful engines, ergonomic design, innovative technologies, and durability. These features combine to create a user-friendly experience that caters to both novice operators and experienced users, making these pressure washers a reliable choice for various cleaning tasks. Whether you're maintaining your home or tackling a professional project, Briggs & Stratton pressure washers are equipped to deliver exceptional performance and lasting results.
