ENGINETECHNICALiNFORMATiON PRODUCTSPECiFiCATiONS
This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV),air cooled
engine, it is alow emissions engine.
In the State of California, Model 120000 enginesare certified
by the California Air Resources Boardto meet emissions
standardsfor 125hours. Such certification does not grant
the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any
additional warranties with respectto the performanceor
operational life of this engine.Theengine is warranted solely
according to the product and emissions warranties stated
elsewherein this manual.
Power RaUngs
Thegross power rating for individual gas engine models is
labeled in accordancewith SAE(Societyof Automotive
Engineers)codeJ1940 (Small Engine Power &Torque
Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been
obtained and corrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995
(Revision 2002-05). Torquevaluesare derived at 3060 RPM;
horsepower valuesare derived at 3600 RPM.Actual gross
engine power will be lower andis affected by, among other
things, ambientoperating conditions and engine-to-engine
variability. Given both the wide arrayof products on which
enginesare placed andthe variety of environmental issues
applicableto operatingthe equipment,the gas engine will not
developthe ratedgross power when used in agiven piece of
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.),application limitations,
ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity,
altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Dueto
manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton
may substitute an engine of higher ratedpower for this
Seriesengine.
This pressurewasher is rated in accordanceto the Pressure
Washer ManufactureAssociation (PWMA) standard PW101
(Testing and Rating Performanceof PressureWashers).
