General Information

This manual contains safety information to make you aware of the hazards and risks associated with engines and how to avoid them. It also contains instructions for the proper use and care of the engine. Because Briggs & Stratton Corporation does not necessarily know what equipment this engine will power, it is important that you read and understand these instructions and the instructions for the equipment. Save these original instructions for future reference.

For replacement parts or technical assistance, record below the engine model, type, and code numbers along with the date of purchase. These numbers are located on your engine (see the Features and Controls page).

WARNING

Starting engine creates sparking.

Sparking can ignite nearby flammable gases.

Explosion and fire could result.

If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not start engine.

Do not use pressurized starting fluids because vapors are flammable.

WARNING

Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or death.

Start and run engine outdoors.

Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler, become extremely hot.

Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.

Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.

Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.

Remove accumulated debris from muffler area and cylinder area.

It is a violation of California Public Resource Code, Section 4442, to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in Section 4442, maintained in effective working order. Other states or federal jurisdictions may have similar laws. Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or dealer to obtain a spark arrester designed for the exhaust system installed on this engine.

Remove accumulated debris from muffler area and cylinder area. Inspect the muffler (A, Figure 10) for cracks, corrosion, or other damage. Remove the spark arrester (B), if equipped, and inspect for damage or carbon blockage. If damage is found, install replacement parts before operating.

WARNING: Replacement parts must be of the same design and installed

Air Filter

This engine is not equipped with an air filter. DO NOT use this engine for anything other than snow removal.

How To Change The Oil - Figure 2 11

Used oil is a hazardous waste product and must be disposed of properly. Do not discard with household waste. Check with your local authorities, service center, or dealer for safe disposal/recycling facilities.

Carburetor Adjustment

Never make adjustments to the carburetor. The carburetor was set at the factory to operate efficiently under most conditions. However, if adjustments are required, see any Briggs & Stratton Authorized Dealer for service.

NOTICE: The manufacturer of the equipment on which this engine is installed specifies the top speed at which the engine will be operated. Do not exceed this speed.

Remove Oil

1.With engine off but still warm, disconnect the spark plug wire (A) and keep it away from the spark plug (Figure 11).

Note: To access the spark plug wire, you must first remove the snow hood from the engine. See How To Access The Spark Plug.

2.Remove the oil drain cap (E, Figure 2). Drain the oil into an approved receptacle.

3.After the oil has drained, install and tighten the oil drain cap.

Inspect Muffler And Spark Arrester - Figure 10

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler, become extremely hot.

Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.

Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.

Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.

Remove accumulated debris from muffler area and cylinder area.

It is a violation of California Public Resource Code, Section 4442, to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in Section 4442, maintained in effective working order. Other states or federal jurisdictions may have similar laws. Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or dealer to obtain a spark arrester designed for the exhaust system installed on this engine.

Fuel System

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs & Stratton Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer, available wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine service parts are sold.

For engines equipped with a FRESH START® fuel cap, use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START® available in a drip concentrate cartridge.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel system before storage.

If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.

Engine Oil

While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil.
