General Information

This manual contains safety information to make you aware of the hazards and risks

associated with engines and how to avoid them. It also contains instructions for the

proper use and care of the engine. Because Briggs & Stratton Corporation does not

necessarily know what equipment this engine will power, it is important that you read and

understand these instructions and the instructions for the equipment. Save these

original instructions for future reference.

For replacement parts or technical assistance, record below the engine model, type, and

code numbers along with the date of purchase. These numbers are located on your

engine (see the Features and Controls page).

Power Rating

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). Torque values are derived at 3060

RPM; 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 gas 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 Series engine.

Oil Recommendations

We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty Certified oils for best

performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF,

SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.

Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to

select the best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected.

SAE 30

10W-30

Synthetic 5W-30

5W-30

°F °C

* Below 40°F(4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.

** Above 80°F(27°C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil consumption. Check

oil level more frequently.

How To Check/Add Oil - Figure

Before adding or checking the oil

 Place engine level.

 Clean the oil fill area of any debris.

1. Remove the dipstick ( A) and wipe with a clean cloth (Figure 2).

2. Insert and tighten the dipstick.

3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. I t should be at the top of the full indicator

(B) on the dipstick.

4. If low, add oil slowly into the engine oil fill (C). Do not overfill. After adding oil, wait

one minute and then recheck the oil level.

5. Replace and tighten the dipstick.

Fuel Recommendations

Fuel must meet these requirements:

 Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

 A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude use, see below.

 Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable.

CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E15 and E85. Do not mix oil in

gasoline or modify the engine to run on alternate fuels. This will damage the engine

components and void the engine warranty.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel stabilizer into the fuel. See

Storage. All fuel is not the same. If starting or performance problems occur, change fuel

providers or change brands. This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The

emissions control system for this engine is EM (Engine Modifications)

High Altitude

At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters ), a minimum 85 octane/85 AKI (89 RON)

gasoline is acceptable. To remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is

required. Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased performance,

increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions. See a Briggs & Stratton

Authorized Dealer for high altitude adjustment information.

Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude

kit is not recommended.
