ENGINETECHNICALINFORMATION

This is a single cylinder, L-head,air cooled engine. It is a low emissions engine.

Inthe Stateof California, ModelSeries90000 engines are

certified by the CaliforniaAir ResourcesBoardto meet emissions standards for 125 hours. Such certification does

not grant the purchaser,owner or operator of this engine any additional warranties with respectto the performance or operational life of this engine. Theengineis warranted solely according to the product and emissions warranties stated

elsewherein this manual.

Power Ratings

* The gross power rating for individual gasengine models is

labeledin accordance with SAE(Societyof Automotive

Engineers)code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure),and rating performance has been

obtained andcorrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995

(Revision2002-05). Actual gross engine power will be lower

and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-enginevariability. Givenboth the wide array of products on which enginesare placedand the

variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment,the gasengine will not developthe rated gross

power when used in a given piece of powerequipment

(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 Seriesengine.
