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).

Power Rating

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. 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 gas 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 Series engine.

WARNING

Not for

Reproduction

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

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

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 the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then

pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

 Remove all external equipment/engine loads before starting engine.  Direct-coupled equipment components such as, but not limited to, blades,

impellers, pulleys, sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.

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.

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.

Oil capacity (see the Specifications section)

Oil Recommendations

We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.

Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected.

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.

Fuel Recommendations

Fuel must meet these requirements:

 Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.  A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude use, see below.  Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable.

CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E15 and E85. Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run on alternate fuels. Use of unapproved fuels will damage the engine components and void the engine warranty.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel stabilizer into the fuel. See Storage. All fuel is not the same. If starting or performance problems occur, change fuel providers or change brands. This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The emissions control system for this engine is EM (Engine Modifications).

High Altitude

At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum 85 octane/85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required. Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions. See an authorized Briggs & Stratton Dealer for high altitude adjustment information.

Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.
