Storage
Fuel System
Refer to Figure: 24.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion could result in
burns or death.
Fuel Storage
• Because pilot lights or other ignition sources can cause explosions, keep fuel or
equipment away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that
have pilot lights.
Keep the engine level at the correct operating position. Fill the fuel tank (A, Figure 24)
with fuel. For fuel expansion, do not fill above the fuel tank neck (B).
Fuel can become stale when kept in a storage container for more than 30 days.The
use of an alcohol-free fuel stabilizer and ethanol treatment in the fuel storage container
is recommended. This keeps fuel fresh and decreases fuel-related problems or
contamination in the fuel system.
When you fill the container with fuel, addan alcohol-free fuel stabilizer as specified by
the manufacturer’s instructions.If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Operate the engine until it is
out of fuel.
NOTE:DO NOT run the Electronic Fuel Injection engine out of fuel. Fuel pump damage
can occur. Make sure to add the correct amount of fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank, and
run the engine for 30 minutes.
Engine Oil
While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil. Refer to Change the Engine Oil
section.

Power Ratings
The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance
with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque
Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque values are
derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with “rpm” called out on the label and 3060 RPM
for all others; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves
can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power values are taken with
exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without
these attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher than net engine power and
is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine
variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines are placed, the gasoline
engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power
equipment. This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the
variety of engine components (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 engine.

Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air Index Information On
Your Small Off-Road Engine Emissions Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) small off-
road Emissions Standard must display information regarding the Emissions Durability
13
Not for
Reproduction
Period and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this information available to the
consumer on our emissions labels. The engine emissions label will indicate certification
information.
The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running
time for which the engine is certified to be emissions compliant, assuming proper
maintenance in accordance with the Operator’s Manual. The following categories are
used:
Moderate:
Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified to be emissions compliant for
50 hours of actual engine running time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are
certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time.
Intermediate:
Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified to be emissions compliant for
125 hours of actual engine running time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are
certified to be emissions compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running time.
Extended:
Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified to be emissions compliant for
300 hours of actual engine running time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are
certified to be emissions compliant for 500 hours of actual engine running time.
For example, a typical walk-behind lawn mower is used 20 to 25 hours per year.
Therefore, the Emissions Durability Period of an engine with an intermediate rating
would equate to 10 to 12 years.
Briggs & Stratton engines are certified to meet the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 or Phase 3 emissions standards. The Emissions
Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance label indicates the
number of operating hours for which the engine has been shown to meet Federal
emissions requirements.
For engines at or less than 80 cc displacement:
Category C = 50 hours, Category B = 125 hours, Category A = 300 hours
For engines greater than 80 cc displacement and less than 225 cc displacement:
Category C = 125 hours, Category B = 250 hours, Category A = 500 hours
For engines of 225 cc or more displacement:
Category C = 250 hours, Category B = 500 hours, Category A = 1000 hours

Recomendaciones sobre el aceite
Capacidad de aceite: Consulte la sección Especificaciones.
Recomendamos el uso de aceites Briggs&Stratton® con garantía certificada para
un mejor rendimiento. Se permiten otros aceites detergentes de alta calidad, si están
clasificados para servicio SF, SG, SH, SJ o superior. No use aditivos especiales.
Use el cuadro para seleccionar la mejor viscosidad para el margen de temperatura
exterior que se espera. Los motores de la mayoría de los equipos eléctricos para
exteriores funcionan bien con aceite sintético 5W-30. Para equipos que operan a altas
temperaturas, el aceite sintético Vanguard® 15W-50 brinda la mejor protección.
A SAE30 - El uso de SAE30 a temperaturas inferiores a 40°F (4°C) provocará
dificultades de arranque.
B 10W-30 - El uso de 10W-30 a temperaturas mayores a 80°F (27°C) puede
provocar un aumento en el consumo de aceite. Verifique el nivel de aceite con
frecuencia.
C 5W-30
D 5W-30 sintético
EVanguard®Sintético 15W-50
Verifique el nivel de aceite
Antes de verificar o agregar aceite
• Asegúrese de que el motor esté nivelado.
• Limpie todos los desechos del área de llenado de aceite.

Recomendaciones acerca del combustible
El combustible debe cumplir con estos requisitos:
• Gasolina limpia, fresca y sin plomo.
• Un mínimo de 87octanos/87AKI (91RON). Para uso en grandes alturas,
consulte a continuación.
• Se permite gasolina con hasta un 10% de etanol (gasohol).
AVISO
No utilice gasolina no aprobada, como la E15 y la E85. No mezcle la gasolina con
aceite ni cambie el motor para usarlo con combustibles alternativos. El uso de
combustibles no aprobados podría provocar daños a los componentes del motor, lo que
no será reparado bajo la garantía.
Para proteger el sistema de combustible de la formación de goma y la corrosión, mezcle
el combustible con un estabilizador de combustible sin alcohol y un tratamiento de
etanol. Consulte la sección Almacenamiento. No todos los combustibles son iguales.
Si ocurren problemas de arranque o de rendimiento, cambie el proveedor o la marca
del combustible. Este motor está certificado para funcionar con gasolina. El sistema
de control de emisiones para motores carburados es EM (modificaciones del motor).
Los sistemas de control de emisiones para motores con inyección de combustible
electrónica son ECM (módulo de control del motor), MPI (inyección multipuerto) y, si lo
tiene, un O2S (sensor de oxígeno).
Gran altura
En alturas de más de 5000pies (1524metros), se permite una gasolina con un mínimo
de 85octanos/85AKI (89 RON).
Para motores carburados, se requiere realizar el ajuste de gran altura para mantener
el rendimiento. El funcionamiento sin este ajuste provocará una disminución en
el rendimiento y un aumento en el consumo de combustible y en las emisiones.
Comuníquese con un Distribuidor de Servicio Autorizado por Briggs & Stratton para
obtener información sobre el ajuste de gran altura. No se recomienda operar la
máquina a alturas menores de 2500pies (762metros) con el ajuste de gran altura.
En el caso de motores con inyección de combustible electrónica (EFI), no se requiere
un ajuste de gran altura.

Mantenimiento
Información de mantenimiento
ADVERTENCIA
El combustible y sus vapores son inflamables y explosivos. El fuego o una
explosión podrían provocar quemaduras o la muerte.
Durante el mantenimiento, si es necesario inclinar la unidad, asegúrese de que el
tanque de combustible, si está montado en el motor, esté vacío y que el extremo del
motor donde está la bujía esté elevado. Si el tanque de combustible no está vacío,
puede producirse un derrame de combustible y podría ocasionarse un incendio o una
explosión. Si el motor está inclinado en una dirección diferente, no arrancará fácilmente
debido a la contaminación del filtro de aire o de la bujía por aceite o combustible.
ADVERTENCIA
La chispa accidental del motor puede provocar una descarga eléctrica, un
incendio o una explosión y podría resultar en un enredo, una amputación
traumática o una laceración.
Antes de que realice ajustes o reparaciones:
• Desconecte todos los cables de las bujías y manténgalos alejados de las bujías.
• Desconecte el cable de la batería del terminal negativo de la batería (solo
motores con arranque eléctrico).
• Use solamente las herramientas correctas.
Cuando verifique si hay chispa:
• Use un probador de bujías aprobado.
• No revise si hay chispa con la bujía extraída.
ADVERTENCIA
Las piezas de repuesto deben ser del mismo diseño y deben ser instaladas en la misma
posición que las piezas originales. Otras piezas podrían provocar daños o lesiones.
AVISO
Todos los componentes usados para armar este motor deben permanecer en su lugar
para un funcionamiento apropiado.
Consulte a un distribuidor de servicio autorizado de Briggs & Stratton para todo el
mantenimiento y servicio del motor y las piezas del motor.
