SAFETY
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
WHEN FUELING
Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing cap or refueling engine.
Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
On GASOLINE operated engines, do not overfill fuel
tank. Fill tank to approximately 1-1/2 inches below top of neck to allow for fuel expansion.
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.
WHEN STARTING ENGINE
Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner are in place, and firmly secured by equipped fasteners.
Do not crank engine with spark plug, air cleaner cartridge or air cleaner cover removed.
If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
If GASOLINE 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.
WARNING
Gaseous fuels are extremely flammable and readily form explosive air-vapor mix­tures at ambient temperatures.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
DO NOT start the engine.
DO NOT actuate any electrical switches.
DO NOT use the phone in the vicinity.
Evacuate the area.
Contact the gas supplier or fire department.
REMEMBER:
LPG vapor is heavier than air and trends to collect in low areas. NG vapor is lighter than air and tends to collect in high areas. Both may travel to remote locations.
Keep all flames, sparks, pilot lights, and other ignition sources away from the area where the engine is operated or repaired.
DO NOT smoke when operating or repairing the engine.
DO NOT store gasoline or other flammable vapors or
liquids in the vicinity of the engine.
BEFORE doing any service work to the engine, shut off the gas supply.
After initial installation or servicing, check for gas leaks. DO NOT use an open flame. Apply very soapy water or leak test solution with a brush and look for bubbles.
Keep the equipment and the area surrounding the engine free of debris.
Install the fuel system according to applicable fuel/gas codes.
WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT
On GASOLINE engine, transport with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shut-off valve OFF.
On NATURAL / LIQUID PETROLEUM (LP) GAS engines transport with fuel cylinder empty or valve closed, or tank disconnected.
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
Wear eye protection when doing repair work.
Frostbite can result from skin/eye contact with leaking LP liquid.
Installation, adjustment and repair work should be done by a qualified technician.
Flexible supply lines should be checked regularly to make sure they are in good condition. Replace damaged or leaking components.

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). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. 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

Note: For practical operation, the horsepower loading should not exceed 85% of rated horsepower. Engine power will decrease 3-1/2% for each 1,000 feet (300 meters) above sea level and 1% for each 10° F (5.6° C) above 77° F (25° C). Engine will operate satisfactorily at an angle up to 15°.
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 power). 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.

HIGH FLOW AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE
Perform this maintenance every 25 hours or every season, clean more often under dusty conditions or when airborne debris is present. This filter is made of cotton, which is different from a standard paper filter, therefore it MUST be oiled.
[1] Remove clamp and pull air cleaner from intake
manifold. [2] Remove as much dirt from the filter as possible. [3] Using the High Flow Air Filter Cleaner Kit, Briggs &
Stratton part no. 5089D, spray the filter with cleaner.
Allow the solution to soak in to the filter for about 15
minutes.
CAUTION: Never use strong detergents, high pressure water, or gasoline to clean this filter.
[4] Rinse the filter with warm water, inside first and then
outside. (Let the water run from the clean side to the
dirty side.) [5] Allow the filter to dry completely. It is best to allow the
filter to dry naturally. Don’t use heat, this might shrink
the cotton. [6] Use only air filter oil, such as the oil included in the
cleaning kit (P/N 5089D), to re-oil the filter.
WARNING
Never use motor oil, transmission fluid, WD40, or other oils. Failure to follow instructions can cause fires resulting in death or serious injury. Use only air filter oil designed specifically for air filters.
[7] Spray the filter with oil, or pour small amount onto
each pleat and allow filter to stand for 20 minutes. The filter is correctly oiled when the cotton changes from white to the color of the oil.
CAUTION: DO NOT over-oil air filter, it will interfere with engine performance and may cause engine damage. If the filter is placed on cardboard for 10 minutes and leaves a stain, it is over oiled. Wash/clean and re-oil per above instructions.

essential carburetor parts: a) if fuel tank contains oxygenated or reformulated gasoline (gasoline blended with an alcohol or an ether), run engine until it stops from lack of fuel, or b) if fuel tank contains gasoline, either run engine until it stops from lack of fuel, or add a gasoline additive to the gas in the tank. (See parts list. Single use pouches of gas additive are available from your service dealer.) If you use a gas additive, run the engine for several minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor. Then, engine and fuel can be stored up to 24 months.
[2] While engine is still warm, change oil.
[3] Remove spark plug and pour about 1 oz. (30 ml) of
engine oil into cylinder. Replace spark plug and crank slowly to distribute oil.
[4] Clean engine of surface debris, chaff or grass.
[5] Store in a clean, dry area.
WARNING

commercial or rental tracks are not warranted.
The warranty period begins on the date of purchase by the first retail consumer or commercial end user, and continues for the period of time stated in the table above. “Consumer use” means personal residential household use by a retail consumer. “Commercial use” means all other uses, including use for commercial, income producing or rental purposes. Once an engine has experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter be considered as a commercial use engine for purposes of this warranty.
No warranty registration is necessary to obtain warranty on Briggs & Stratton Products. Save your proof of purchase receipt. If you do not provide proof of the initial purchase date at the time warranty service is requested, the manufacturing date of the product will be used to determine the warranty period.
ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
Briggs & Stratton welcomes warranty repair and apologizes to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty would not apply if engine damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the serial number of the engine has been removed or the engine has been altered or modified.
If a customer differs with the decision of the Service Dealer, an investigation will be made to determine whether the warranty applies. Ask the Service Dealer to submit all supporting facts to his Distributor or the Factory for review. If the Distributor or the Factory decides that the claim is justified, the customer will be fully reimbursed for those items that are defective. To avoid misunderstanding which might occur between the customer and the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of engine failure that the warranty does not cover.
Normal wear:
Engines, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts service and replacement to perform well. Warranty will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or an engine.
Improper maintenance:
The life of an engine depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Some applications, such as tillers, pumps and rotary mowers, are very often used in dusty or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, spark plug cleaning grit, or other abrasive material that has entered the engine because of improper maintenance, is not covered by warranty.
This warranty covers engine related defective material and /or workmanship only, and not replacement or refund of the equipment to which the engine may be mounted. Nor does the warranty extend to repairs required because of:
1 Problems caused by parts that are not original Briggs & Stratton parts. 2 Equipment controls or installations that prevent starting, cause unsatisfactory
engine performance, or shorten engine life. (Contact equipment manufacturer.)
3 Leaking carburetors, clogged fuel pipes, sticking valves, or other damage,
caused by using contaminated or stale fuel. (Use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline and Briggs & Stratton Fuel Stabilizer, Part No. 5041.)
4 Parts which are scored or broken because an engine was operated with
insufficient or contaminated lubricating oil, or an incorrect grade of lubricating oil (check oil level daily or after every 8 hours of operation. Refill when necessary and change at recommended intervals.) OIL GARD may not shut down running engine. Engine damage may occur if oil level is not properly maintained. Read Operating & Maintenance Instructions.
5 Repair or adjustment of associated parts or assemblies such as clutches,
transmissions, remote controls, etc., which are not manufactured by Briggs & Stratton.
6 Damage or wear to parts caused by dirt, which entered the engine because of
improper air cleaner maintenance, re-assembly, or use of a non-original air cleaner element or cartridge. (At recommended intervals, clean and re-oil the Oil-Foam
element or the foam pre-cleaner, and replace the cartridge.) Read
Operating & Maintenance Instructions.
7 Parts damaged by over-speeding, or overheating caused by grass, debris, or
dirt, which plugs or clogs the cooling fins, or flywheel area, or damage caused by operating the engine in a confined area without sufficient ventilation. (Clean fins on the cylinder, cylinder head and flywheel at recommended intervals.) Read Operating & Maintenance Instructions.
8 Engine or equipment parts broken by excessive vibration caused by a loose
engine mounting, loose cutter blades, unbalanced blades or loose or unbalanced impellers, improper attachment of equipment to engine crankshaft, over-speeding or other abuse in operation.
9 A bent or broken crankshaft, caused by striking a solid object with the cutter
blade of a rotary lawn mower, or excessive v-belt tightness. 10 Routine tune-up or adjustment of the engine. 11 Engine or engine component failure, i.e., combustion chamber, valves, valve
seats, valve guides, or burned starter motor windings, caused by the use of
alternate fuels such as, liquified petroleum, natural gas, altered gasolines, etc.
Warranty service is available only through service dealers which have been authorized by Briggs & Stratton Corporation. Your nearest Authorized Service Dealer is listed in the “Yellow Pages “Engines, Gasoline” or “Gasoline Engines,” “Lawn Mowers,” or similar category.

Emissions Control System Warranty Statement
Briggs & Stratton Corporation (B&S), the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Emissions Control System
Warranty Statement (Owner’s Defect Warranty Rights and Obligations)
California, United States and Canada Emissions Control Defects Warranty Statement
The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S. EPA and B&S are pleased to explain the Emissions Control System Warranty on your small off-road engine (SORE). In California, new small off-road engines model year 2006 and later must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. Elsewhere in the United States, new non-road, spark-ignition engines certified for model year 1997 and later must meet similar standards set forth by the U.S. EPA. B&S must warrant the emissions control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.
Your emissions control system includes parts such as the carburetor, air cleaner, ignition system, fuel line, muffler and catalytic converter. Also included may be connectors and other emissions related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Briggs & Stratton Emissions Control Defects Warranty Coverage
Small off-road engines are warranted relative to emissions control parts defects for a period of two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If any covered part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S.
Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Operating and Maintenance Instructions. B&S recommends that you retain all your receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but B&S cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that B&S may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an Authorized B&S Service Dealer as soon as a problem exists. The undisputed warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact a B&S Service Representative at (414) 259-5262.
The emissions warranty is a defects warranty. Defects are judged on normal engine performance. The warranty is not related to an in-use emissions test.
Briggs & Stratton Emissions Control Defects Warranty Provisions
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emissions Control Defects Warranty Coverage. It is in addition to the B&S engine warranty for non-regulated engines found in the Operating and Maintenance Instructions.
1. Warranted Parts Coverage under this warranty extends only to the parts listed below (the emissions control systems parts) to the extent these parts were present on the engine purchased.
a. Fuel Metering System
Cold start enrichment system (soft choke)
Carburetor and internal parts
Fuel pump
Fuel line, fuel line fittings, clamps
Fuel tank, cap and tether
Carbon canister
b. Air Induction System

2. Length of Coverage B&S warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent purchaser that the Warranted Parts shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship which caused the failure of the Warranted Parts for a period of two years from the date the engine is delivered to a retail
purchaser.
3. No Charge Repair or replacement of any Warranted Part will be performed at no charge to the owner, including diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a Warranted Part is defective, if the diagnostic work is performed at an Authorized B&S Service Dealer. For emissions warranty service contact your nearest Authorized B&S Service Dealer as listed in the “Yellow Pages” under “Engines, Gasoline,” “Gasoline Engines,” “Lawn Mowers,” or similar category.
4. Claims and Coverage Exclusions Warranty claims shall be filed in accordance with the provisions of the B&S Engine Warranty Policy. Warranty coverage shall be excluded for failures of Warranted Parts which are not original B&S parts or because of abuse, neglect or improper maintenance as set forth in the B&S Engine Warranty Policy. B&S is not liable to cover failures of Warranted Parts caused by the use of add-on, non-original, or modified parts.
5. Maintenance Any Warranted Part which is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance or which is scheduled only for regular inspection to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” shall be warranted as to defects for the warranty period. Any Warranted Part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance shall be warranted as to defects only for the period of time up to the first scheduled replacement for that part. Any replacement part that is equivalent in performance and durability may be used in the performance of any maintenance or repairs. The owner is responsible for the performance of all required maintenance, as defined in the B&S Operating and Maintenance Instructions.
6. Consequential Coverage Coverage hereunder shall extend to the failure of any engine components caused by the failure of any Warranted Part still under warranty.

Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air Index Information On Your Engine Emissions Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Tier 2 Emissions Standard must display information regarding the Emissions Durability Period and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this information available to the consumer on our emissions labels. The engine emissions label will indicate certification information.
The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running time for which the engine is certified to be emissions compliant, assuming proper maintenance in accordance with the Operating & Maintenance Instructions. The following categories are used:
Moderate:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time.
Intermediate:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running time.
Extended:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 500 hours of actual engine running time. For example, a typical walk-behind lawn mower is used 20 to 25 hours per year. Therefore, the Emissions Durability Period of an engine with an intermediate rating would equate to 10 to 12 years.
Certain Briggs & Stratton engines will be certified to meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emissions standards. For Phase 2 certified engines, the Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance label indicates the number of operating hours for which the engine has been shown to meet Federal emissions requirements.
For engines less than 225 cc displacement. Category C = 125 hours Category B = 250 hours Category A = 500 hours
For engines of 225 cc or more displacement. Category C = 250 hours Category B = 500 hours Category A = 1000 hours
