SAFETY

WARNING

Gasoline and its vapors are extremely

flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns

or death.

WHEN ADDING FUEL

•Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2 minutes

before removing gas cap.

•Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.

•Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to approximately 1-1/2

inches below top of neck to allow for fuel expansion.

•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.

WHEN STARTING ENGINE

•Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner are in

place.

•Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.

•If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.

•If engine floods, set choke to OPEN/RUN position, place

throttle in FAST and crank until engine starts.

WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT

•Do not tip engine or equipment at angle which causes

gasoline to spill.

•Do not choke carburetor to stop engine.

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 from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other

appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source

because they can ignite gasoline vapors.

WARNING

Engines give off carbon monoxide, an

odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause

nausea, fainting or death.

•Start and run engine outdoors.

•Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if doors or

windows are open.

WARNING

Starting engine creates sparking.

Sparking can ignite nearby flammable

gases.

Explosion and fire could result.

•If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not start

engine.

•Do not use pressurized starting fluids because vapors are

flammable.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Engine

parts, especially muffler, become ex-

tremely hot.

Severe thermal burns can occur on

contact.

Combustible debris, such as leaves,

grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.

•Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before

touching.

•Remove accumulated combustibles from muffler area and

cylinder area.

•Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before

using equipment on forest-covered, grass-covered,

brush-covered unimproved land. The state of California

requires this (Section 4442 of the California Public

Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws.

Federal laws apply on federal land.

Rotating parts can contact or entangle

hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe lacera-

tion can result.

WARNING

•Operate equipment with guards in place.

•Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

•Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

•Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or

items that could become caught.

SAFETY

WARNING

•Do not touch hot radiator, or open reservoir when engine is

running

•Allow engine to cool before removing radiator cap, changing,

or adding coolant.

If engine is warm DO NOT remove radiator

cap.

Escaping steam can cause burns.

WARNING

Never remove radiator cap or radiator

reservoir cap while the engine is hot or

running. Severe thermal burns or injury

can occur by escaping steam or hot

engine coolant.

•Stop engine and allow to cool before removing radiator or

reservoir cap.

•To remove reservoir cap after engine is cool, place a thick

cloth over cap and remove it slowly.

•To remove radiator cap after engine is cool, place a thick

cloth over cap and rotate it slowly counter-clockwise to the

first stop. Pressurized steam may emit from the cap, stand

back to avoid injury. Once all pressure is released, rotate cap

counter-clockwise while pushing down on cap to remove.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in

fire or electric shock.

Unintentional start-up can result in

entanglement, traumatic amputation,

or laceration.

BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS OR

REPAIRS

•Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from spark

plug.

•Disconnect battery at negative terminal.

WHEN TESTING FOR SPARK

•Use approved spark plug tester.

injury (including paralysis), or even death.

ENGINE INFORMATION

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

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). 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 horsepower). 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.

with clean cloth.

[3]. Then replace dipstick, and

remove to check oil level.

[4]. If oil is required, remove dipstick to allow

proper venting and pour oil slowly. Fill to

FULL line on dipstick. Recheck.

Bring oil

level to F

mark

on dipstick.

OIL FILL

[5]. Replace dipstick firmly.

CAUTION: When filling engine or adding oil.

To prevent engine damage upon

start-up, proper venting is necessary

when filling engine with oil or adding oil.

In addition to ensuring a level engine,

removing dipstick, and pouring oil

slowly, there must be clearance

between the oil fill device and the oil fill

hole in the valve cover as shown. This

clearance is necessary to permit

venting when filling, which prevents oil

from overrunning into breather.
