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 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
1inch
below lowest portion 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.

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. 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.
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 is about 20 oz. or 0.6 liter.)
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.
Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause:
1. Smoking,
2. Hard starting,
3. Spark plug fouling,
4. Oil saturation of air filter
Fuel Recommendations
Use clean, fresh, lead-free, regular gasoline with a
minimum of 77 octane. Leaded gasoline may be used if
it is commercially available and if unleaded is unavail-
able. 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 inch below lowest portion of
neck to allow for fuel expansion. Be careful not to
overfill.
Starting (see fig. ¢)
ALWAYS KEEP HANDS AND FEET
CLEAR OF EQUIPMENT MOVING PARTS.
Do not use a pressurized starting
fluid. V apors are flammable.

Check oil level.
Start engine first time
1. Move throttle control to FAST position.
2. Push primer bulb
firmly 5 times.
Close safety brake control handle ,
if equipped. Grasp rope handle and
pull slowly until resistance is felt. Then
pull cord rapidly to overcome com-
pression, prevent kickback and start engine. Repeat
if necessary. When engine starts, operate in FAST
position.
3. If engine does not start after 3 pulls, push primer
bulb 3 times and pull starter again.
Start engine thereafter
1. Move throttle control to FAST position.
2. Push primer bulb
firmly 3 times.
Close safety brake control handle ,
if equipped. Grasp rope handle and
pull slowly until resistance is felt. Then
pull cord rapidly to overcome com-
pression, prevent kickback and start engine. Repeat
if necessary. When engine starts, operate in FAST
position.
Note: If engine stopped because it ran out of fuel, refuel
engine and push primer bulb 3 times
. Priming is usually
unnecessary when restarting a warm engine. However,
cool weather may require priming to be repeated.
Stopping (see fig. £)
Release safety brake control handle OR move throttle
control to STOP.
Adjustments (see fig. ¤)
To prevent acci-
dental starting, re-
move spark plug
wire and ground
it before adjusting.
Throttle control adjustments

Remote throttle control
(Air cleaner not illustrated for clarity). Loosen casing
clamp screw
. Move governor control lever full
travel in direction of arrow. Move equipment throttle
control to FAST position. Tighten casing clamp screw.
Fixed control
This governor control lever
was set to the equipment
manufacturer’s requirements and cannot be adjusted.
Check stop switch
Move throttle control to STOP position, if so equipped.
Governor control lever
must make good contact with
stop switch .
Check operation of controls. Readjust if necessary.
Carburetor adjustments
The manufacturer of the equipment on which
this engine is installed specifies top speed at
which the engine will be operated. DO NOT
EXCEED this speed.
This engine is equipped with a pulsa prime carburetor
which cannot be adjusted. Your engine will idle down
only about 300 to 600 rpm below top speed, which
accounts for the higher than expected idle speed.

NO WARRANTY REGISTRATION IS NECESSARY TO OBTAIN WARRANTY ON BRIGGS & STRATTON PRODUCTS. SAVE YOUR PROOF OF PURCHASE RECEIPT. IF
YOU DO NOT PROVIDE PROOF OF THE INITIAL PURCHASE DATE AT THE TIME WARRANTY SERVICE IS REQUESTED, THE MANUFACTURING DATE OF THE
PRODUCT WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE THE WARRANTY PERIOD.
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 t une-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.

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.
TheEmission Durability Period describes 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.
This is a generic representation
of the emission label typically
found on a certified engine.
