ENGINETECHNICALiNFORtViATION

This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV),air cooled
engine, it is a iow emissions engine.

Inthe Stateof Caiifornia, Model 120000 enginesare certified
by the California Air Resources Boardto meet emissions
standardsfor 125 hours. Such certification does not grant

Power Ratings

Thegross power rating for individuaI gas enginemodels 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. Actuai 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 placed and the variety of environmental 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 cteaner,exhaust,charging,
cooiing, 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.
