When Storing Fuel Or Equipment With Fuel In Tank

Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.

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

The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

WARNING

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).

NOTICE: Do not use water to clean the engine. Water could contaminate the fuel system. Use a brush or dry cloth to clean the engine.

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.

NOTICE: Do not use pressurized air or solvents to clean the filter. Pressurized air can damage the filter and solvents will dissolve the filter.

The air cleaner system uses a pleated filter with an optional pre-cleaner. The pre-cleaner can be washed and reused.

Flat Air Filter (Figure 14 and Figure 15)

1.Loosen the fastener (D) that holds the cover (A).

2.Open the cover and remove the pre-cleaner (C) and the filter (B).

3.To loosen debris, gently tap the filter on a hard surface. If the filter is excessively dirty, replace with a new filter.

4.Wash the pre-cleaner in liquid detergent and water. Then allow it to thoroughly air dry. Do not oil the pre-cleaner.

5.Assemble the dry pre-cleaner to the filter with the lip (G) of the pre-cleaner on the bottom of the filter pleats.

6.Install the filter.

7.On models equipped with air filter shown in Figure 14, install the cover tabs (E) into the slots (F).

8.Close the cover and secure with the fastener.

Oval Air Filter (Figure 16)

1.Loosen the fastener (D) that holds the cover (A).

2.Open the cover and remove the pre-cleaner (C) and the filter (B).

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

in the same position as the original parts. Other parts may not perform as well, may damage the unit, and may result in injury.

3.Remove the pre-cleaner (C), if equipped, from the filter. To loosen debris, gently tap the filter on a hard surface. If the filter is excessively dirty, replace with a new filter.

4.Wash the pre-cleaner in liquid detergent and water. Then allow it to thoroughly air dry. Do not oil the pre-cleaner.

5.Assemble the dry pre-cleaner to the filter.

6.Install the filter and pre-cleaner into the base (E) and onto stud (F). Make sure filter fits securely into base.

This is an air cooled engine. Dirt or debris can restrict air flow and cause the engine to overheat, resulting in poor performance and reduced engine life.

Use a brush or dry cloth to remove debris from the finger guard (A) (Figure 19). Keep linkage, springs and controls (B) clean. Keep the area around and behind the muffler (C) free of any combustible debris.

Storage

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 or other appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.

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.
