Pewer Ratings

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

Engineers)code J1940 (SmalIEnginePower &Torque

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

(Revision2002-05). Torquevaluesare derived at3060 RPM;

developthe ratedgross 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
