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.
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.
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 Alltitude.
• 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. To allow for fuel expansion, do
not fill 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 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.
Fresh Start® Fuel Cap
The Fresh Start® fuel cap (C) is designed to hold a
cartridge (D) which contains fuel preserver. Adding fuel
preserver helps keep fuel fresh and carburetors clean for
easier starting all season long. The Fresh Start® fuel cap, if
equipped with a cartridge, automatically drips concentrated
fuel preserver into your fuel tank so you don't have to add it
yourself.
C
NOTICE Fresh Start® fuel preserver cartridge is available as
an optional accessory. It is not included with the pressure
washer. Contact the original equipment manufacturer,
retailer, or dealer to obtain a cartridge designed for the Fresh
Start® fuel cap installed on this engine.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings given in the
Fresh Start® fuel preserver cartridge package.
