Engine Power Rating Information

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. Actual gross engine power will be

lower and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and

engine-to-engine variability. Given both the wide array of products on which engines are

placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment,

the gas engine will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of

power equipment (actual “on-site” or net power). This difference is due to a variety of

factors including, but not limited to, accessories (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 (G) and wipe with a c lean cloth (Figure 2).

2. Insert and tighten the dipstick.

3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should be at the FULL mark (J)onthe

dipstick.

4. If low, add oil slowly into the engine oil fill (H). 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) or up to 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary

butyl ether) is acceptable.

CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as 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 t o 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 t he high altitude

kit is not recommended.

Use a brush or dry cloth to remove debris from the finger guard (A). Keep linkage,

springs and controls (B) clean. Keep area around and behind the muffler (C) free of any

combustible debris (Figure 15).

Storage

WARNING

Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

When Storing Gasoline Or Equipment With Fuel In Tank

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have pilot

lights or other ignition sources because they can ignite gasoline vapors.

Fuel System

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum

deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential c arburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh,

use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START

fuel stabilizer, available as a liquid additive or a

drip concentrate cartridge.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizer is added according

to instructions. Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel

system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to 24 months.

If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into

an approved container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel

stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.

Engine Oil

While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil.

warranty terms for your engine, go to BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM or contact your Authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer.

Engines used on Home Standby Generator applications are warranted under consumer use only. This warranty does not apply to engines on equipment used for prime

power in place of a utility. Engines used in competitive racing or on commercial or rental tracks are not warranted.

The warranty period begins on the date of purchase by the first retail consumer or commercial end user, and continues for the period of time stated in the table above. “Consumer

use” means personal residential household use by a retail consumer. “Commercial use” means all other uses, including use for commercial, income producing or rental purposes.

Once an engine has experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter be considered as a commercial use engine for purposes of this warranty.

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 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 handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may

not be appropriate.

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 Fac tory 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 misunderstanding which might occur between the

customer and the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes 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. 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.

Improper maintenance: The life 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 because of improper maintenance, is

not covered by warranty.

This warranty covers engine related defective 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 engine life. (Contact equipment manufacturer.)

3 Leaking carburetors, clogged fuel pipes, sticking valves, or other damage, caused

by using contaminated or stale fuel.

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 and

refill when necessary, and change at recommended intervals). OIL GARD may not

shut down running engine. Engine damage may occur if oil level is not properly

maintained.

5 Repair or adjustment of associated parts or assemblies such as clutches,

transmissions, remote c ontrols, 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/or replace t he filter as

stated in the Operator’s Manual.

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 engine

debris at recommended intervals as stated in the Operator ’s Manual.

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,

improper attachment of equipment to engine crankshaft, over-speeding or other

abuse in operation.

9 A bent or broken crankshaft, caused by striking a solid object with the cutter blade of

a rotary lawn mower, or excessive 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.

W arranty service is available only through authorized service dealers by Briggs &

Emissions Control System Warranty Statement

Briggs & Stratton Corporation (B&S), the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the United States Environmental Protection

Agency (U.S. EPA) Emissions Control System Warranty Statement (Owner’s Defect Warranty Rights and Obligations)

California, United States and Canada Emissions Control Defects

Warranty Statement

The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S. EPA and B&S are pleased to explain

the Emissions Control System Warranty on your small off-road engine (SORE). In

California, new small off-road engines model year 2006 and later must be designed, built

and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. Elsewhere in the United

States, new non-road, spark-ignition engines certified for model year 1997 and later must

meet similar standards set forth by the U.S. EPA. B&S must warrant the emissions

control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below, provided there has

been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.

Your emissions control system includes parts such as the carburetor, air cleaner, ignition

system, fuel line, muffler and catalytic converter. Also included may be connectors and

other emissions related assemblies.

Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your small off-road engine at no

cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

Briggs & Stratton Emissions Control Defects Warranty Coverage

Small off-road engines are warranted relative to emissions control parts defects for a

period of two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If any covered part on your

engine is defective, t he part will be repaired or replaced by B&S.

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities

As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the

required maintenance listed in your Operating and Maintenance Instructions. B&S

recommends that you retain all your receipts covering maintenance on your small

off-road engine, but B&S cannot deny warranty solely f or the lack of receipts or for your

failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that B&S may deny

you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse,

neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an Authorized B&S

Service Dealer as soon as a problem exists. The undisputed warranty repairs should be

completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should

contact a B&S Service Representative at (414) 259-5262.

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

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

Briggs & Stratton Emissions Control Defects Warranty Provisions

The following are specific provisions relative to your Emissions 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 emissions

control systems parts) to the extent these parts were present on the engine

purchased.

failure of the Warranted Parts for a period of two years from the date the engine is

delivered to a retail purchaser .

3. No Charge

Repair or replacement of any Warranted Part will be performed at no charge to the

owner, including diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a Warranted

Part is defective, if the diagnostic work is performed at an Authorized B&S Service

Dealer. For emissions warranty service contact your nearest Authorized B&S

Service Dealer as listed in the “Yellow Pages” under “Engines, Gasoline,” “Gasoline

Engines,” “Lawn Mowers,” or similar category.

4. Claims and Coverage Exclusions

Warranty claims shall be filed in accordance with the provisions of the B&S Engine

Warranty Policy. Warranty coverage shall be excluded for failures of Warranted

Parts which are not original B&S parts or because of abuse, neglect or improper

maintenance as set forth in the B&S Engine Warranty Policy. B&S is not liable to

cover failures of Warranted Parts caused by the use of add-on, non -original, or

modified parts.

5. Maintenance

Any Warranted Part which is not scheduled for replacement as required

maintenance or which is scheduled only for regular inspection to the effect of “repair

or replace as necessary” shall be warranted as to defects for the warranty period.

Any Warranted Part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance

shall be warranted as to defects only for the period of time up to the first scheduled

replacement for that part. Any replacement part that is equivalent in performance

and durability may be used in the performance of any maintenance or repairs. The

owner is responsible for the performance of all required maintenance, as defined in

the B&S Operating and Maintenance Instructions.

6. Consequential Coverage

Coverage hereunder shall extend to the failure of any engine components caused

by the failure of any Warranted Part still under warranty.

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

Engines that are c ertified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Emissions

Standard must display information regarding the Emissions Durability Period and the Air

Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this information available to the consumer on our

emissions labels. The engine emissions label will indicate certification information.

The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running time

for which the engine is certified to be emissions compliant, assuming proper

maintenance in accordance with the Operating & Maintenance Instructions. The

following categories are used:

Moderate:

Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time.

Intermediate:

Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running time.

Extended:

Engine is certified to be emissions 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 Emissions Durability Period of an engine with an intermediate rating

would equate t o 10 to 12 years.

Briggs & Stratton engines are certified to meet the United States Environmental

Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emissions standards. For Phase 2 certified

engines, the Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance

label indicates the number of operating hours for which the engine has been shown to

meet Federal emissions requirements.

For engines less than 225 cc displacement.

Category C = 125 hours , Category B = 250 hours , Category A = 500 hours

For engines of 225 cc or more displacement.

Category C = 250 hours , Category B = 500 hours , Category A = 1000 hours

Información de Clasificación de Potencia del Motor

La clasificación de potencia para un modelo de motor a gas en particular se designa de

acuerdo al código J1940 de SAE (Sociedad de Ingenieros Automotrices) (Procedimiento

de Clasificación de Potencia & Torque del Motor Pequeño), y la clasificación de

desempeño ha sido obtenida y corregida de acuerdo con el código J1995 de SAE

(Revisión 2002-05). Los valores de torque se obtienen a 3060 RPM; los valores de

potencia se obtienen a 3600 RPM. La potencia bruta actual del motor será inferior y está

afectada, entre otras c osas, por las condiciones ambientales operativas y la variabilidad

de motor a motor. Dado ambos un amplio conjunto de productos en los cuales son

puestos nuestros motores, y la variedad de emisiones ambientales aplicables al operar

el equipo, el motor a gas no desarrollará la potencia nominal cuando sea usado en una

parte del equipo acoplado (potencia real “en el -sitio” o potencia neta). Esta diferencia se

debe a una variedad de factores que incluyen, pero que no están limitados a, accesorios

(filtro de aire, sistema de escape, sistema de carga, sistema de enfriamiento,

carburador, bomba de combustible, etc.) limitaciones de la aplicación, condiciones

ambientales de operación (temperatura, humedad, altitud), y la variabilidad de motor a

motor. Debido a las limitaciones, Briggs & Stratton puede sustituir este motor con

clasificación de potencia más alta por esta serie de motor.

aceite con la gasolina, ni modifique el motor para operarlo con combustibles alternos.

Esto dañará los componentes del motor e invalidará la garantía del motor.

Para proteger el sistema de combustible de la formación de depósitos de goma,

mézclele un estabilizador de combustible cuando le añada combustible. Consulte el

aparte: Bodegaje. Todos los combustibles no son los mismos. Si se presentan

problemas de arranque o de rendimiento cambie de proveedor de combustible o de

marca. Este motor está certificado para operar con gasolina. El sistema de c ontrol de

emisiones para este motor es EM (Modificaciones del Motor).

Alta Altitud

Para altitudes superiores a 5.000 pies (1.524 metros), es aceptable el uso de gasolina

con un mínimo de 85 octanos/85 AKI (89 RON). Para cumplir con las emisiones, se

requiere hacer un ajuste para alta altitud. Si la operación se realizar sin haber hecho

éste ajuste se causará una disminución en el rendimiento, un aumento del consumo de

combustible y un aumento en las emisiones. Consulte con un distribuidor autorizado de

Briggs & Stratton para obtener información relacionada con el ajuste para alta altitud.

No se recomienda operar el motor a altitudes inferiores a 2.500 pies (762 metros) con el

kit para alta altitud.

Cómo agregar combustible - Figura

ADVERTENCIA

La gasolina y sus vapores son extremadamente inflamables y

explosivos.

Un incendio o una explosión pueden causar graves quemaduras o la

muerte.

Cuando Aprovisione con Combustible

• Apague el motor y deje que el motor s e enfríe por lo menos 2 minutos antes de

remover la tapa de combustible.

• Llene el tanque de combustible en exteriores o en un área bien ventilada.

• No llene demasiado el tanque de combustible. Llene el tanque hasta

aproximadamente 1,5 pulgadas (38 mm) por debajo de la parte superior del cuello

para permitir la expansión del combustible.

• Mantenga la gasolina y sus vapores a dist ancia de chispas, llamas abiertas,

testigos piloto, calor, o de cualquier otra fuente de encendido.

• Compruebe con frecuencia si existen grietas o fugas en las mangueras de

combustible, el tanque, la tapa y en los accesorios. Cámbielos si es necesario.

• Si se derramó combustible, espere hasta que se haya evaporado antes de darle

arranque al motor.

1. Limpie el área de la tapa de combustible de polvo y desechos. Retire la tapa de

combustible (A). (Figura 3).

2. Llene el tanque de combustible (B) con gasolina. A fin de permitir la expansión de la

gasolina, no llene por encima del fondo del cuello del tanque de combustible (C).

3. Re-instale la tapa de combustible.

Tapa de combustible Fresh Start

- Figura

Algunos motores están equipados con una tapa de combustible Fresh Start (A) (Figura

4). La tapa de combustible Fresh Start está diseñada para contener un cartucho (B), que

se vende por separado, del cual contiene estabilizador de combustible.

Cómo Darle Arranque al Motor

La retracción rápida de la cuerda de arranque (contragolpe) le halará la

mano y el brazo hacia el motor más rápido de lo que usted la pueda dejar

ir .

Podrían ocasionarse roturas de huesos, fracturas, moretones o

torceduras.

ADVERTENCIA

• Cuando le de arranque al motor, hale lentamente la cuerda hasta que se sienta

resistencia y después hálela rápidamente para evitar un contragolpe.

ADVERTENCIA

La gasolina y sus vapores son extremadamente inflamables y

explosivos.

Un incendio o una explosión pueden causar graves quemaduras o la

muerte.

Cuando le de Arranque al motor

• Asegúrese que la bujía, el mofle, la tapa de combustible y el filtro de aire estén en su

lugar, y firmemente asegurados.

• No haga girar el motor si removió la bujía.

• Si el motor a se inunda, ajuste el estrangulador (si está equipado) a la posición

open/run, coloque el acelerador en la posición fast (si está equipado) y haga girar el

motor hasta que arranque.

Los motores emiten monóxido de carbono, un gas venenoso que carece

de olor y de color.

Respirar monóxido de carbono puede ocasionar náuseas, desmayos o la

muerte.

ADVERTENCIA

• Dele arranque al motor y opérelo en exteriores.

• No le de arranque al motor ni lo opere en un área encerrada, aun cuando las puertas

o las ventanas se encuentren abiertas.

PRECAUCIÓN: Este motor fue despachado de Briggs & Stratton sin aceite. Antes de

darle arranque al motor, asegúrese de aprovisionar con aceite de acuerdo con las

instrucciones de este manual. Si le da arranque al motor sin que esté provisto de aceite,

éste se dañará más allá de la reparación y no será cubierto por la garantía.

Determine el sistema de arranque

Antes de dar arranque al motor, debe determinar el tipo de sistema de arranque que se

encuentra en su motor. Su motor tendrá alguno de los siguientes tipos de sistemas.

• Sistema Ready Start

: Este ofrece un estrangulador automático controlado por

temperatura. No posee un estrangulador manual ni un cebador.

• Sistema de Cebador: Este ofrece un cebador que será utilizado para dar arranque

al motor en temperaturas frías. No tiene un estrangulador manual.

• Sistema de Estrangulador: Ofrece un estrangulador que será utilizado para dar

arranque al motor en temperaturas frías. Algunos modelos tendrán por separado una

palanca de estrangulador mientras que otros tendrán una palanca combinada de

estrangulador/acelerador. Este tipo de sistema no tiene un cebador.

Para dar arranque a su motor, siga las instrucciones para su tipo de sistema de

arranque.
