Power Ratings Disclaimer
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.
