In the state of California, OHV Model Series 110000 and

120000 engines are certified by the California Air

Resources Board to meet emissions standards for 125

hours; Model Series 200000 and 210000 for 250 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. This engine is warranted solely according to

the product and emissions warranties stated else-

where in this manual.

Technical Information

POWER RATINGS: The power ratings for an individual

engine model are initially developed by starting with

SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940

(Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure) (Re-

vision 2002-05). Given both the wide array of products

on which our engines are placed, and the variety of en-

vironmental issues applicable to operating the equip-

ment, it may be that the engine you have purchased will

not develop the rated horsepower when used in a piece

of power equipment (actual “on-site” power). This dif-

ference is due to a variety of factors including, but not

limited to, the following: differences in altitude, temper-

ature, barometric pressure, humidity, fuel, engine lu-

brication, maximum governed engine speed, individual

engine to engine variability, design of the particular

piece of power equipment, the manner in which the en-

gine is operated, engine run-in to reduce friction and

clean out of combustion chambers, adjustments to the

valves and carburetor , and other factors. The power

ratings may also be adjusted based on comparisons to

other similar engines utilized in similar applications,

and will therefore not necessarily match the values de-

rived using the foregoing codes.

Safety Precautions

* Briggs & Stratton does not necessarily know what

equipment this engine will power. For that reason,

you should carefully read and understand the

operating instructions for the equipment on which

your engine is placed.

BEFORE OPERATING ENGINE

• Read entire Operating & Maintenance Instructions

AND the instructions for the equipment this engine

powers.*

• Failure to follow instructions could result in serious

injury or death.

THE OPERATING & MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS CONTAIN SAFETY

INFORMATION TO

• Make you aware ofhazards associatedwith engines

• Inform you of the risk of injury associated with those

hazards, and

• Tell you how to avoid or reduce the risk of injury.

The safety alert symbol is used to identify safety

information about hazards that can result in personal injury.

A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION) is used

with the alert symbol to indicate the likelihood and the potential

severity of injury. In addition, a hazard symbol may be used to

represent the type of hazard.

DANGER indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,

will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,

might result in minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION

, when used without the alert symbol,

indicates a situation that could result in damage to

the engine.

The engine exhaust from this product contains

chemicals known to the State of California to cause

cancer , birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

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.

• Keepgasoline 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 E NGINE

• 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

otherappliances that have pilot lightor otherignition

source because they can ignite gasoline vapors.

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

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric

shock.

Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement,

traumatic amputation, or laceration.

BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS OR RE-

PAIRS

• 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.

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

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.

• Allowmuffler, engine cylinderand 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 Californiarequiresthis (Section 4442 of

the California Public Resources Code). Other

states may have similarlaws. Federallaws apply on

federal land.

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.

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.

• Directcoupled equipment components such as, but

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

etc., must be securely attached.

WARNING

Oil Recommendations (see fig. ©)

Engine shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil.

Before starting engine

, fill with oil. Do not over-fill.

Optional gear reduction may not be filled with oil. If

engine is equipped with gear reduction, see oil

checking/filling instructions (Maintenance, next page).

Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For Service

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

30W, Part Number 100005. Use no special additives

with recommended oils. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Note: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC

GF-2, API certification mark and API ser-

vice symbol (shown at left) with “SJ/CF

ENERGY CONSERVING” or higher, is an

acceptable oil at all temperatures. Use of

synthetic oil does not alter required oil

change intervals.

* 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 .

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

in hard starting and possible engine bore

damage due to inadequate lubrication.

Check oil level.

Oil Capacity: Models 110000, 120000 is about 21 oz. or

0.6 liter; Models 200000, 210000 is about 28 oz. or 0.8

liter.

Place engine level and clean around oil fill

➊.

Remove dipstick ➋, wipe with clean cloth, insert and

tighten down again. Remove dipstick and check oil

level. Oil should be at FULL mark

➌. If oil is required,

add slowly. Do not over-fill.

Remove oil filler plug

➍. Oil should be full to

overflowing

➎ .

Tighten dipstick or oil filler plug firmly before starting

engine.

Fuel Recommendations

Use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline with a minimum of

85 octane. Leaded gasoline may be used if it is

commercially available and if unleaded is unavailable.

Purchase fuel in quantity that can be used within 30

days. See Storage.

In U.S.A. leaded gasoline may not be used. Some

fuels, called oxygenated or reformulated gasolines, are

gasolines blended with alcohols or ethers. Excessive

amounts of these blends can damage the fuel system

or cause performance problems. If any undesirable

operating symptoms occur, use gasoline with a lower

percentage of alcohol or ether.

This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. Exhaust

Emission Control System: EM (Engine Modifications).

Do not use gasoline which contains Methanol. Do not

mix oil with gasoline.

For engine protection, we recommend using Briggs &

Stratton Fuel Stabilizer available from an Authorized

Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer.

Check fuel level.

Before refueling, allow

engine to cool 2 minutes.

Clean around fuel fill before removing cap to refuel. Fill

tank to approximately 1-1/2 inches below top of neck to

allow for fuel expansion. Be careful not to overfill.

Starting (see figs. ¢£)

ALWAYS KEEP HANDS AND FEET

CLEAR OF EQUIPMENT MOVING PARTS.

Do not use a pressurized starting

fluid. V apors are flammable.

Start, store and fuel equipment in level position.

CAUTION: Some engines may be equipped with OIL

GARD.TheOIL GARD is intended to warn the

operator that the engine is low on oil. Always check oil

level before starting. Engine damage may occur if the

oil level is not properly maintained and will void

warranty coverage. If the engine will not start, has

stopped running and/or a light flickers in the stop

switch, add oil (see instructions).

gine will not start, or restart. Oil must be added. Fill to

FULL

mark on dipstick or overflowing at oil filler plug.

Do not over-fill. OIL GARD, however, will not stop a

running engine if the engine runs low on oil.

Rewind starter (see fig.

£)

Grasp rope handle and pull slowly until

resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapid-

ly to overcome compression, prevent

kickback and start engine. Repeat i

necessary with choke in RUN position and throttle in

ABOUT YOUR ENGINE WARRANTY

Briggs & Stratton welcomes warranty repair and apologizes to

you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer

may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty repairs are han-

dled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service

may not be appropriate. For example, warranty would not apply

if engine damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine

maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper

installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the serial number of the

engine has been removed or the engine has been altered or

modified.

If a customer differs with the decision of the Service Dealer, an

investigation will be made to determine whether the warranty

applies. Ask the Service Dealer to submit all supporting facts to

his Distributor or the F actory for review. If the Distributor or the

Factory decides that the claim is justified, the customer will be

fully reimbursed for those items that are defective. To avoid mis-

understanding which might occur between the customer and

the Dealer, listed below are some of thecauses of engine failure

that the warranty does not cover.

Normal wear:

Engines, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts service

and replacement to perform well. Warranty will not cover repair

when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or an engine.

Improper maintenance:

Thelife of an engine depends upon the conditions under which it

operates, and the care it receives. Some applications, such as

tillers, pumps and rotary mowers, are very often used in dusty or

dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature

wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, spark plug cleaning

grit, or other abrasive material that has entered the engine be-

cause of improper maintenance, is not covered by warranty.

Thiswarrantycoversenginerelateddefective material and/

or workmanship only, and not replacement or refund of the

equipment to which the engine may be mounted. Nor does

the warranty extend to repairs required because of:

1. PROBLEMS CAUSED BY PARTS THAT ARE NOT

ORIGINAL BRIGGS & STRATTON PARTS.

2. Equipment controls or installations that prevent starting,

cause unsatisfactory engine performance, or shorten en-

gine life. (Contact equipment manufacturer.)

3. Leaking carburetors, clogged fuel pipes, sticking valves,

or other damage, caused by using contaminated or stale

The emission warranty is a defects warranty. Defects are judged on normal engine performance.

The warranty is not related to an in-use emission test.

Briggs & Stratton Emission Control Defects Warranty Provisions

The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control Defects Warranty Coverage. It is in addition to the B&S engine warranty for non-regulated engines found in the Operating and Maintenance Instructions.

1. Warranted Parts

Coverage under this warranty extends only to the parts listed below (the emission control

systems parts) to the extent these parts were present on the engine purchased.

a. Fuel Metering System

Look For Relevant Emission Durability Period and Air Index Information On Your Engine Emission Label

Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Tier 2 Emission Standards must display information regarding the EmissionsDurability Period and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton

makes this i nformation available to the consumer on our emission labels. The engine label will indicate certification information.

TheEmission DurabilityPerioddescribes the number of hoursofactualrunningtime for which the engineis certifiedtobeemissioncompliant,assuming proper maintenanceinaccordancewitht he Operating

& Maintenance Instructions. The following categories are used:

Moderate: Engine is certified to be emission compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time.

Intermediate: Engine is certified to be emission compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running time.

Extended: Engine is certified to be emission 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 Emission Durability Period of an engine with an intermediate ratingwouldequateto10to12years.

The Air Index is a calculated number describing the relative level of emission for a specific engine family. The lower the Air Index, the cleaner the engine. This information is displayed in graphical form on the

emission label.

After July 1, 2000, Look For Emissions Compliance Period On Engine Emissions Compliance Label

After July 1, 2000 certain Briggs & Stratton engines will be certified to meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emission standards. For Phase 2 certified engines, the

EmissionsCompliancePeriodreferred to on the Emissions Compliance l abel indicates the number of operating hours for which theengine has been shown to meet Federal emissionrequirements. For engines

less than 225 cc displacement, Category C = 125 hours, B = 250 hours and A = 500 hours. For engines of 225 cc or more, Category C = 250 hours, B = 500 hours and A = 1000 hours.

The displacement of Model Series 110000 engine is 190 cc, Model Series 120000 engine is 206 cc, Model Series 200000 engine is 305 cc, Model Series 210000 engine is 342 cc.

This is a generic representation

of the emission label typically

found on a certified engine.
