ENGINETECHNICALINFORMATION

This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV), air cooled engine. It is a low emissions engine.

In the State of California, Model 120000 enginesare 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 respect to the performance or operational life of this engine.Theengine is warranted solely according to the product and emissions warranties stated

elsewherein this manual.

Power Ratings

Thegross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordancewith SAE(Society of Automotive Engineers)codeJ1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure),and rating performance has been

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

horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPIVI.Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affectedby, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine

variability. Givenboth the wide arrayof products on which enginesare placed andthe variety of environmental issues

applicableto operating the equipment,the gas enginewill not developthe rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment (actual "on-site"or net power). This difference is due to avariety 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-enginevariability. Dueto

manufacturing andcapacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher ratedpower for this

Seriesengine. This pressurewasher is rated in accordanceto the Pressure

Washer Manufacturer's Association (PWIVIA)standard PW101 (Testingand Rating Performanceof Pressure Washers).
