SAFETY

Gasoline and its vapors are extremely

flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns

or death.

WARNING

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.

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.

•Do not use pressurized starting fluids because

vapors are flammable.

WARNING

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will

pull hand and arm toward engine faster than

you can let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains

could result.

•When starting engine, pull cord slowly until

resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.

•Remove all external equipment/engine loads

before starting engine.

•Direct coupled equipment components such as, but

not limited to, blades, impellors, pulleys, sprockets,

etc., must be securely attached.

WARNING

Rotating parts can contact or entangle

hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe laceration

can result.

•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

Engines give off carbon monoxide, an

odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause

nausea, fainting or death.

WARNING

•Start and run engine outdoors.

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

doors or windows are open.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Engine

parts, especially muffler, become extremely

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.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or

electric shock.

Unintentional start-up can result in en-

tanglement, traumatic amputation, or lac-

eration.

BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS OR

REPAIRS

•Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from

spark plug.

•Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only

engines with electric start).

WHEN TESTING FOR SPARK

•Use approved spark plug tester.

•Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.

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.

reduction case must be filled with oil prior to operating en-

gine. See gear reduction oil filling instructions on page 12.

OIL CAPACITY

The engine holds approximately 2/3 qt. (21 ozs; 0.6 liter).

TYPE OF OIL TO USE

•Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For Service

SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher, such as Briggs & Stratton 30,

Part Number 100005 (20 oz) or 100028 (48 oz).

•Do not use special additives.

•Choose a viscosity according to the table opposite.

Note: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API

certification mark and API service symbol

STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE

*CAUTION: Air cooled engines run hotter than

automotive engines. The use of non-synthetic

multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.) in

temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in higher

than normal oil consumption. When using a

multi-viscosity oil, check oil level more frequently.

** CAUTION: SAE 30 oil, if used below 40°F (4°C), will

result in hard starting and possible engine bore

damage due to inadequate lubrication.
