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.
