Thegross power rating for individuaI gas engine models is labeledin accordancewith SAE(Societyof Automotive
Engineers)code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque
Rating Procedure),and rating performance hasbeen obtained andcorrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995
(Revision2002=05).Torque valuesarederived at3060 RPM; horsepower valuesarederived at 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 placedand the variety ofenvironmental issues appiicabb to operatingthe equipment,the gas engine wiii not 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 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.
