Record your engine
Model, Type and Code numbers
here for future use.
Record your date of purchase here for future use.
In the state of California, OHV Model Series 290000, 300000,
350000 and 380000 engines are certified by the California Air
Resources Board to meet emissions standards 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 elsewhere 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.

WARNING
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable
and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
WHEN FUELING
Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2
minutes before refueling engine.
Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
On GASOLINE operated engines, do not overfill
fuel tank. Fill tank to approximately 1-1/2 inches
below top of neck to allow for fuel expansion.
Keep fuel 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 GASOLINE engine floods, set choke to
OPEN/RUN position, place throttle in FAST and
crank until engine starts.
WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT WITH
GASOLINE ENGINE
Do not tip engine or equipment at angle which
causes gasoline to spill.
Do not choke carburetor to stop engine.
WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT
On gasoline engine, transport with fuel tank
EMPTY or with fuel shut-off valve OFF.
On NATURAL/ LIQUID PETROLEUM (LP) GAS
engine, transport with fuel cylinder empty, and
valve closed, or tank disconnected.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH
FUEL IN TANK OR IN FUEL CYLINDER
Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters
or other appliances that have pilot light or other
ignition source because they can ignite gasoline
vapors.
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
Gaseous fuels are extremely flammable and readily
form explosive air-vapor mixtures at ambient tem-
peratures.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
DO NOT start the engine.
DO NOT actuate any electrical switches.
DO NOT use the phone in the vicinity.
Evacuate the area.
Contact the gas supplier or fire department.
REMEMBER:
LPG vapor is heavier than air and trends to collect in
low areas. NG vapor is lighter than air and tends to
collect in high areas. Both may travel to remote
locations.
Keep all flames, sparks, pilot lights, and other
ignition sources away from the area where the
engine is operated or repaired.
DO NOT smoke when operating or repairing the
engine.
DO NOT store gasoline or other flammable vapors
or liquids in the vicinity of the engine.
BEFORE doing any service work to the engine, shut
off the gas supply.

leaks. DO NOT use an open flame. Apply very
soapy water or leak test solution with a brush and
look for bubbles.
Keep the equipment and the area surrounding the
engine free of debris.
Install the fuel system according to applicable
fuel/gas codes.
Wear eye protection when doing repair work.
Frostbite can result from skin/eye contact with
leaking LP liquid.
Installation, adjustment and repair work should be
done by a qualified technician.
Flexible supply lines should be checked regularly to
make sure they are in good condition. Replace
damaged or leaking c omponents.
WARNING
WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or
electric shock.

Oil Recommendations (see fig. ©)
Engine shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Before
starting engine
, fill with oil. Do not over-fill.
Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SG,
SH, SJ” or higher such as Briggs & Stratton 30W, Part Number
100005 (20 oz.) or 100028 (48 oz.). Use no special additives
with recommended oils. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Choose the SAE viscosity grade of oil from this chart that
matches the starting temperature anticipated before the next
oil change. (see fig.
©)
Note: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2,
API certification mark and API service symbol
(shown at left) with “SJ/CF ENERGY CON-
SERVING” 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 mult i- viscosi ty oil, check oil level more frequent ly.
** 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 (see fig. ©)
Oil capacity: approximately 1-1/2 quarts (48 ounces or 1.6
liters) when changing oil and filter
. (Oil capacity will be greater
if engine is equipped with remote
oil filter.)
Oil filling procedure: first add 1 quart (32 ounces or 1 liter).
Startand run engine at idle for 30 seconds. Shut engine offand
wait 30 seconds. Then add more oil slowly to bring level to Full
mark on dipstick. Check for oil leaks. Tighten dipstick firmly
before starting engine.
Oil checking procedure: before starting engine, place
engine level and clean around oil fill
. Remove dipstick ,
wipe with clean cloth, insert and tighten down again. Remove
dipstick and check oil level. Oil should be at FULL mark
.If
oil is required, add slowly. Tighten dipstick firmly before
starting engine.
Fuel Recommendations
Gasoline Powered Engines

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
fuel. (Use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline and Briggs &
Stratton Fuel Stabilizer, Part No. 5041.)
4. Parts which are scored or broken because an engine was
operated with insufficient or contaminated lubricating oil,
or an incorrect grade of lubricating oil (check oil level daily
or after every 8 hours of operation. Refill when necessary
and change at recommended intervals.) OIL GARD
may not shut down running engine. Engine damage may
occur i f oil level is not properly maintained. Read Operat-
ing & Maintenance Instructions.
5. Repair or adjustment of associated parts or assemblies
such as clutches, transmissions, remote controls, etc.,
which are not manufactured by Briggs & Stratton.
6. Damage or wear to parts caused by dirt, which entered
the engine because of improper air cleaner maintenance,
re-assembly, or use of a non-original air cleaner element
or cartridge. (At recommended intervals, clean and re-oil
the Oil-Foam element or the foam pre-cleaner, and
replace the cartridge.) Read Operating & Maintenance
Instructions.
7. Parts damaged by over-speeding, or overheating caused
by grass, debris, or dirt, which plugs or clogs the cooling
fins, or flywheel area, or damage caused by operating the
engine in a confined area without sufficient ventilation.
(Clean fins on the cylinder, cylinder head and flywheel at
recommendedintervals.) Read Operating &Maintenance
Instructions.
8. Engine or equipment parts broken by excessive vibration
caused by a loose engine mounting, loose cutter blades,
unbalanced blades or loose or unbalanced impellers, im-
proper attachment of equipment to engine crankshaft,
over-speeding or other abuse in operation.
9. A bent or broken crankshaft, caused by striking a solid ob-
ject with the cutter blade of a rotary lawn mower, or exces -
sive v-belt tightness.
10. Routine tune-up or adjustment of the engine.
11. Engine or engine component failure, i.e., combustion
chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides, or burned
starter motor windings, caused by the use of alternate
fuels such as, liquified petroleum, natural gas, altered
gasolines, etc.
Wa rranty is available only through service dealers which
have been authorized by Briggs & Stratton Corporation.
your nearest Authorized Service Dealer is listed in the “Y el-
low Pages of your telephone directory under “Engines,

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 t o meet the United Sattes Environmental Protecteion 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 290000 and 300000 engines is 480 cc. The displac ement of Model Series 350000 engines is 570 cc. The displacement of Model Series 380000 engines is 627 cc.
This is a generic representation
of the emission label typically
found on a certified engine.
