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.

Briggs & Stratton Emissions Warranty

U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton, LLC Emissions Control Warranty Statement for

Emergency Standby Engines - Your Warranty Rights and Obligations

General Information

The U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton (B&S) are pleased to explain the emissions

control system warranty on your Model Year 2020-2022 and later engine / equipment.

In the U.S., new Emergency Standby Engines must be designed, built, and equipped to

meet stringent emission standards. Engines less than 25 Hp must meet requirements

of 40 CFR Part 1054. Engines greater than 25 Hp and less than 130 Hp must meet

requirements of 40 CFR Part 60 JJJJ. B&S must warrant the emissions control system

on your engine / equipment.

See Definition of appropriate use of Emergency Standby below.

The emission-related warranty covers all components whose failure would increase an

engine’s non-evaporative emissions of any regulated pollutant referenced below.

Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:

Briggs & Stratton warrants that the engine is free from defects in material and

workmanship, and is also designed, built, and equipped to conform to applicable

regulations under Section 213 of the Clean Air Act, from the time the engine is sold,

until the expiration of its warranty period.

This warranty applies to all emission related engine components whose failure would

cause engine exhaust emissions to be out of EPA compliance. Further, this warranty

also applies to other engine components damaged due to the failure of any of these

emissions related components.

If a warrantable emissions related component on your engine is defective, the part will

be repaired or replaced by B&S at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts, and labor.

Warranty coverage period is five years from date of original purchase, and is offered to

the original purchaser and each subsequent purchaser so long as Owner’s Warranty

Responsibilities are adhered to.

Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:

• Warranty claims shall be filed according to the provisions of the Briggs & Stratton

Warranty Policy.

• An engine may not be warrantable if subjected to abuse, misuse, neglect, improper

maintenance, unapproved modifications, accidents not caused by Briggs & Stratton

engines or equipment, or by acts of God.

• Only those engines used as an Emergency Stationary Engine, as defined below,

are warrantable.

• Youare responsible for presenting your engine / equipment to a B&S distribution

center, servicing dealer, or other equivalent entity, as applicable, as soon as

a problem exists. The 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 B&S at 1-800-444-7774 or

BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM.

• If any components not scheduled for maintenance is repaired or replaced under this

warranty, the new part will be warranted only for the remaining warranty period.

• Ifa warrantable component scheduled for maintenance fails prior to its first

scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S at no charge

to the owner. Any such component is only warrantable until the originally scheduled

maintenance period has expired.

• Add on or modified parts that are not exempted by the EPA may not be used. The

use of any non-exempted add on or modified parts by the owner will be grounds for

disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer will not be liable to warrant failures

or warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add on or modified part.

Emergency Stationary Engine Definition

AnEmergency Stationary Engine is defined as any stationary internal combustion

engine whose operation is limited to emergency situations and required testing and

maintenance. Examples include stationary engines used to produce power for critical

networks or equipment (including power supplied to portions of a facility) when electric

power from the local utility (or the normal power source, if the facility runs on its own

power production) is interrupted, or stationary engines used to pump water in the

case of fire or flood, etc. Stationary engines used for peak shaving are not considered

emergency stationary engines. Stationary engines used to supply power to an electric

grid or that supply power as part of a financial arrangement with another entity are not

considered to be emergency engines. Emergency stationary ICE may be operated for

the purpose of maintenance checks and readiness testing, provided that the tests are

recommended by Federal, State or local government, the manufacturer, the vendor,

or the insurance company associated with the engine. Maintenance checks and

readiness testing of such units is limited to 100 hours per year. There is no time limit

on the use of emergency stationary engines in emergency situations. The owner or

operator may petition the Administrator for approval of additional hours to be used for

maintenance checks and readiness testing, but a petition is not required if the owner

or operator maintains records indicating that Federal, State, or local standards require

maintenance and testing of emergency ICE beyond 100 hours per year. Emergency

stationary ICE may operate up to 50 hours per year in non-emergency situations, but

those 50 hours are counted towards the 100 hours per year provided for maintenance

and testing. The 50 hours per year for non-emergency situations cannot be used for

peak shaving or to generate income for a facility to supply power to an electric grid

or otherwise supply power as part of a financial arrangement with another entity. For

owners and operators of emergency engines, any operation other than emergency

operation, maintenance and testing, and operation in non-emergency situations for 50

hours per year, as permitted above is prohibited.

Mantenimiento

Información de mantenimiento

ADVERTENCIA

Durante el mantenimiento, si es necesario inclinar la unidad, asegúrese de que el

tanque de combustible, si está montado en el motor, esté vacío y que el extremo del

motor donde está la bujía esté elevado. Si el tanque de combustible no está vacío,

puede producirse un derrame de combustible y podría ocasionarse un incendio o una

explosión. Si el motor está inclinado en una dirección diferente, no arrancará fácilmente

debido a la contaminación del filtro de aire o de la bujía por aceite o combustible.

Le recomendamos que consulte a un distribuidor de servicio autorizado de Briggs &

Stratton para cualquier mantenimiento y servicio del motor y de las piezas del motor.

AVISO

Todos los componentes usados para armar este motor deben permanecer en su lugar
