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).
Date of purchase:
MM/DD/YYYY
Engine model:
Model: Type: Code:
Look for the 2D barcode located on some engines. When viewed with a 2D--capable device, the code will bring up our website where you can access support information for this product. Data rates apply. Some countries may not have online support information available.
Power Ratings: The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque values are derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with “rpm” called out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power values are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher than net engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine--to--engine variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines are placed, the gasoline engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment. This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components (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 engine.

Features and Controls
Compare the illustration 1 with your engine to familiarize yourself with the location of various features and controls.
2.Insert and tighten the dipstick.
3.Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should be at the top of the full indicator (B) on the dipstick.
4.To add oil, pour the oil slowly into the engine oil fill (C). Do not overfill. After adding oil, wait one minute and then recheck the oil level.
5.Replace and tighten the dipstick.
Low Oil Protection System (if equipped)
Some engines are equipped with a low oil sensor. If the oil is low, the sensor will either activate a warning light or stop the engine. Stop the engine and follow these steps before restarting the engine.
Make sure the engine is level.
Check the oil level. See the How To Check/Add Oil section.
If the oil level is low, add the proper amount of oil. Start the engine and make sure the warning light (if equipped) is not activated.
If the oil level is not low, do not start the engine. Contact an Authorized Briggs & Stratton Dealer to have the the oil problem corrected.

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.
