ENGINETECHNICALiNFORMATiON
This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV),air cooled
engine, it is a iow emissions engine.
Inthe Stateof California, Model 150000 enginesare certified
by the California Air Resources Boardto meet emissions
standardsfor 125 hours. Such certification does not grant
the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any
additional warranties with respectto the performance or
operational iife of this engine. The engine is warranted solely
according to the product and emissions warranties stated
elsewherein this manual.
Power Ratings
Thegross power rating for individual gas engine models is
labeledin accordancewith SAE(Societyof Automotive
Engineers)code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque
Rating Procedure),and rating performance has been
obtained andcorrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995
(Revision2002=05).Torque values are derived at3060 RPM;
horsepower values are derivedat 3600 RPM. Actual gross
engine power wiii be lower and is affected by, among other
things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine
variabiiity. Givenboth the wide array of products on which
enginesare piaced and the variety of environmentai issues
appiicabb to operatingthe equipment, the gas engine wiii not
developthe rated gross power when used ina given pieceof
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.), appiication iimitations,
ambient operating conditions (temperature,humidity,
altitude), and engine-to-engine variabiiity. Due to
manufacturing and capacity iimitations, Briggs & Stratton
maysubstitute an engine of higher ratedpower for this
Seriesengine.
