CAUTJSN!Alcohoi-btendedfuels (caiied gasohoi, ethanol or
methanoi) can attract moisture, which ieads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damagethe
fuei system of an enginewhile in storage.

Toavoid engine problems, the fuel system should betreated
with a fuei preserver or emptied before storage of 30 days or

longer, if adding a fuel preserver,fiii the fuel tankwith fresh
fuei. if only partialiy filied, air in the tank wiii promote fue!

deterioration during storage, if fuei preserver is not used,
drain the fueI tank, start the engine and iet it run untii the fuel

lines and carburetor are empty. Usefresh fueI next season.
See Storagefor additional information.

NEVERuseengine or carburetor cleanerproducts in the fuel
tank as permanent damage may occur.

NighAltitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum

85 octane/ 85 AKI (89 RON)gasoline is acceptable.To
remain emissions compliant, high aititude adjustment is
required. Operationwithout this adjustment wiii cause
decreasedperformance, increasedfuet consumption, and
increasedemissions. Seea qualified Sears dealer for high
altitude adjustment information. Operationof the engine at
altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude

kit is not recommended.

ENGINETECHNICALiNFORMATiON

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

Intile Stateof California, Modei I00000 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.Theengine is warranted soiely
according to tile product and emissions warranties stated

elsewherein this manual.

Pewer Ratings

Thegross power rating for individual gas engine models is
labeledin accordancewith SAE(Societyof Automotive

Engineers)code J1940 (SmalI Engine Power & Torque

Rating Procedure),and rating performance hasbeen
obtained andcorrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995

(Revision2002-05). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM;
horsepower vaiues are derivedat 3600 RPiVI.Actuai gross
engine power wiii be iower and is affected by, among other
things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine
variabiiity. Givenboth the wide array of products on which
enginesare piacedand the variety of environmentai issues
appiicabteto operatingthe equipment, the gas engine wiii not
developthe rated gross power when used in a 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.
