Add Engine Oil
1. Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface.
2. Clean area 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.
4. Replace oil fill 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). High
altitude use, see
High Altitude
.
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to
15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
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).
1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add regular unleaded fuel (
E
) to fuel tank (
F
). Be
careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" (4 cm) (
G
) of
tank space for fuel expansion.
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.

NOTICE
Improper treatment of pressure washer can 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 may result in
an engine failure.
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.
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.
