CAUTRON! Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol,
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads
to separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the
fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
See "Storage" on pages 19-20 for additional information.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.

ENGtNE TECHNICAL INFORMATION
This is a single cylinder, overhead valve(OHV)+ air
cooled engine. It is a low emissions engine.
in the State of California, Model Series 120000
engines are certified by the California Air Resources
Board to meet emissions standards for 125 hours.
Such certification does not grant the purchaser, owner
or operator of this engine any additional warranties
with respect to the performance or operationa+ life of
this engine. The engine is warranted solely according
to the product and emmisions warranties stated
elsewhere in this manual.
Power Ratings
The power ratings for an individual engine model are
initially developed by starting with SAE (Society of
Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine
Power & Torque Rating Procedure) (Revision 2002-
05). Given both the wide array of products on which
our engines are placed, and the variety of
environmental issues applicable to operating the
equipement, it may be that the engine you have
purchased will not develop the rated horsepower when
used in a peice of power equipment (actual "on-site"
power). This difference is due to a variety of factors
including, but not limited to, the following: differences
in altitude, temperature, barometric pressure, humidity,
fuel, engine lubrication, maximum governed engine
speed, individual engine to engine variability, design of
the particular pe+ce of power equipment, the manner in
which the engine is operated, engine run-in to reduce
friction and clean out of combustion chambers,
adjustments to the valves and carburetor, and other
factors. The power ratings may also be adjusted
based on comparisons to other similar engines
utilizedin similar applications, and will thereforenot
necessarily match the values derived using the
foregoing codes.
