ENGINETECHNICALiNFORMATiON

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

In the State of California, Model 120000 engines are 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 life of this engine. Theengine is warranted solely

according to the product and emissions warranties stated elsewherein this manual.

PowerRatings

Thegross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordancewith SAE(Society of Automotive Engineers)code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been

obtained and corrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM;

horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM.Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating 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 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 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 ManufacturersAssociation (PWMA) standard PW101 (Testing and Rating Performanceof PressureWashers).
