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 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING

OIL RECOMMENDATIONS

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

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

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.

• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.

• Remove all external equipment/engine loads before starting engine.

• Direct coupled equipment components such as, but not limited to, blades, impellors, pulleys, sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.

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 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 draw-

strings or items that could become caught.

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 (only engines with electric start).

WHEN TESTING FOR SPARK

• Use approved spark plug tester.

• Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.

CAUTION:

Engine shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Before starting engine, fill with oil. Do not over-fill.

Use a high quality detergent oil classified For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ" or higher such as Briggs & Stratton 30, Part Number

100005. Use no special additives with recommended oils. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Fig. 2

Choose the SAE viscosity grade of oil from this chart that matches the starting temperature anticipated before the next oil change.

* Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines.

The use of non-synthetic multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.) in temperatures above 40° F (4° C) will result in higher than normal oil consumption. When using a multi-viscosity oil, check oil level more frequently.

** Use of SAE 30 oil below 40° F (4° C) will result in hard

starting and possible engine damage due to inadequate lubrication.

Note: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API certification mark and API service symbol (shown at left) with SJ/CF ENERGY CONSERVING" or higher, is an acceptable oil at all temperatures.

Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil change intervals.

Check oil level.

Oil capacity is about (22 ounces or .65 liter) if engine is not equipped with oil filter. If engine is equipped with oil filter, add 4 more ounces (.1 liter) when changing oil filter.

Place engine level and clean around oil fill Remove dipstick, wipe with clean cloth, insert and tighten

down again. Remove dipstick and check oil level. Oil should be at FULL mark If oil is required, add slowly. Tighten dipstick firmly before

starting engine.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

Use clean, fresh, lead-free, regular gasoline with a minimum of 85 octane. Leaded gasoline may be used if it is commercially available and if unleaded is unavailable. Purchase fuel in quantity that can be used within 30 days. See storage instructions.

In U.S.A. leaded gasoline may not be used. Some fuels, called oxygenated or reformulated gasolines, are gasolines blended with alcohols or ethers. Excessive amounts of these blends can damage the fuel system or cause performance problems. If any undesirable operating symptoms occur, use gasoline with a lower percentage of alcohol or ether.

This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. Exhaust Emission Control System: EM (Engine Modifications).

Do not use gasoline which contains Methanol. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

For engine protection, we recommend using Briggs & Stratton Fuel Stabilizer available from an Authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer.

ADDING FUEL

WARNING

Before refueling, allow engine to cool 2 minutes.

Clean around fuel fill before removing cap to refuel. Remove cap. Fill tank to approximately 1-1/2 inches below top of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Be careful not to overfill.

Note: Remove and discard blue plug in fuel fill.

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

In the U.S.A., the 120000 engines covered in this manual are certified by the California Air Resources Board to meet emissions standards for 50 hours. Such certification does not grant the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any additional warranties with respect to the performance or operational life of this engine. This engine is warranted solely according to the product and emissions warranties stated elsewhere in this manual.

ABOUT YOUR ENGINE WARRANTY

LIMITED 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
