4. Reattach screw and nut on negative terminal and
tighten.
5. Verify that connections to battery and pressure washer
are tight and secure.
NOTICE If your battery is discharged, charge prior to use
following the instructions in the section Battery Charger.

Add Engine Oil

1. Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill cap.
3. Using oil funnel, slowly pour contents of provided oil
into oil fill opening (A) to the point of overflowing at oil
fill cap. DO NOT overfill.
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 may result in an
engine failure.
4. Replace oil fill cap 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) 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.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable
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 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.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for cracks or
leaks. Replace if necessary.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
A
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 unleaded gasoline (B) to fuel tank (C). Be
careful not to fill above the baffle (D). This allows
adequate space for fuel expansion as shown.
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.
