Engine Power Rating Information
The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with
SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque
Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in
accordance with SAE J1995 (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 array of products on which engines are
placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment,
the gas engine will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given 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. Due to manufacturing
and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated
power for this Series engine.

Turn engine off and let engine cool atleast 2minutes beforeremoving the fuel
cap.
Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
Do not o verfill fuel tank. To allowfor expansion of the gasoline, do not fill above
the bottom of the fuel tank neck.
Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other
ignition sources.
Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks.
Replace if necessary
If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
When Starting Engine
Ensure that spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner (if equipped) are in
place and secured.
Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.
If engine floods, set choke (if equipped) to OPEN/RUN position, move throttle
(if equipped) to FAST position and crank until engine starts.
When Operating Equipment
Do not tip engine or equipment at angle which causes gasoline to spill.
Do not choke the carburetor to stop engine.
Never start or run the engine with the air cleaner assembly (if equipped) or the
air filter (if equipped) removed.
When Changing Oil
If you drain the oil from the top oil fill tube, the fuel tank must be empty or fuel
can leak out and result in a fire or explosion.
When Transporting Equipment
Transport with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shut-off valve OFF.
When Storing Gasoline Or Equipment With Fuel In Tank
Store away f rom furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have
pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite gasoline vapors.
Starting engine creates sparking.
Sparking can ignite nearby flammable gases.
Explosion and fire could result.
WARNING
If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not start engine.
