BEFORE OPERATING ENGINE

Read entire Operating & Maintenance Instructions AND the instructions for the equipment this engine powers.*

Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or death.

THE OPERATING & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAIN SAFETY INFORMATION TO

Make you aware of hazards associated with engines

Inform you of the risk of injury associated with those hazards, and

Tell you how to avoid or reduce the risk of injury.

*Briggs & Stratton does not necessarily know what equipment this engine will power. For that reason, you should carefully read and understand the operating instructions for the equipment on which your engine is placed.

The safety alert symbol () is used to identify safety information about hazards that can result in personal injury.

A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION) is used with the alert symbol to indicate the likelihood and the potential severity of injury. In addition, a hazard symbol may be used to represent the type of hazard.

DANGER indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, might result in minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION, when used without the alert symbol, indicates a situation that could result in damage to the engine.

SAFETY

WARNING

Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

WHEN ADDING FUEL

Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing gas cap.

Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.

Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to approximately 1-1/2 inches below top of neck to allow for fuel expansion.

Keep gasoline 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.

WHEN STARTING ENGINE

Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner are in place.

Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.

If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.

If engine floods, set choke to OPEN/RUN position, place throttle in FAST and crank until engine starts.

WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT

Do not tip engine or equipment at angle which causes gasoline to spill.

Do not choke carburetor to stop engine.

WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT

Transport with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shut-off valve OFF.

WHEN STORING GASOLINE OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK

Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite gasoline vapors.

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

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

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 combustibles from muffler area and cylinder area.

Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before using equipment on forest-covered, grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land. The state of California requires this (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal land.

WARNING

Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.

Operate equipment with guards in place.

Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or items that could become caught.

SAFETY

WARNING

If engine is warm DO NOT remove radiator cap.

Escaping steam can cause burns.

Do not touch hot radiator, or open reservoir when engine is running

Allow engine to cool before removing radiator cap, changing, or adding coolant.

WARNING

Never remove radiator cap or radiator reservoir cap while the engine is hot or running. Severe thermal burns or injury can occur by escaping steam or hot engine coolant.

Stop engine and allow to cool before removing radiator or reservoir cap.

To remove reservoir cap after engine is cool, place a thick cloth over cap and remove it slowly.

To remove radiator cap after engine is cool, place a thick cloth over cap and rotate it slowly counter-clockwise to the first stop. Pressurized steam may emit from the cap, stand back to avoid injury. Once all pressure is released, rotate cap counter-clockwise while pushing down on cap to remove.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation, or laceration.

BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS

Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from spark plug.

Disconnect battery at negative terminal.

WHEN TESTING FOR SPARK

Use approved spark plug tester.

Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.

WARNING

Briggs & Stratton does not approve or authorize the use of these engines on 3-wheel All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), motor bikes, fun/recreational go-karts, aircraft products or vehicles intended for use in competitive events. Use of these engines in such applications could result in property damage, serious injury (including paralysis), or even death.

ENGINE INFORMATION

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Engine Power Rating Information

The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05). Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given both the wide array of products on which engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, the gas engine will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment (actual “on-site” or net horsepower). This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.

Check oil level before starting the engine.

Check level daily, or after every eight (8) hours.

Keep oil level at FULL.

Do not overfill.

Note: After filling with or changing oil, start and run engine at idle for 5 minutes. Shut engine off. Wait 3 minutes and check oil level. Add oil, if required, to bring level to Full mark on dipstick.

OIL FILL

[1].Place equipment level. Clean around oil fill.

Bring oil level to F mark

on dipstick.
