SAFETY

Gasoline and its vapors are extremely

flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns

or death.

WARNING

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

1-1/2 inches below top of neck to allow for fuel

expansion.

•Keep gasoline 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 ENGINE

•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

other appliances that have pilot light or other

ignition source because they can ignite gasoline

vapors.

Starting engine creates sparking.

Sparking can ignite nearby flammable

gases.

Explosion and fire could result.

WARNING

•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

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.

•Direct coupled equipment components such as,

but not limited to, blades, impellors, pulleys,

sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.

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.

SAFETY

Engines give off carbon monoxide, an

odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause

nausea, fainting or death.

WARNING

•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.

•Allow muffler, engine cylinder and 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 California requires this (Section 4442

of the California Public Resources Code). Other

states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply

on federal land.

GENERAL INFORMATION

ENGINE MODEL

This is a single cylinder, overhead valve (OHV), air-cooled

engine. It is a low emissions engine.

In the state of California, OHV Model Series 110000 and

120000 engines are certified by the California Air Re-

sources Board to meet emissions standards for 125 hours.

OHV Model Series 200000, 210000 engines are certified

by the California Air Resources Board to meet emissions

standards for 250 hours. Such certification does not grant

the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any

additional warranties with respect to the performance or

operational life of this engine. This engine is warranted

solely according to the product and emissions warranties

stated elsewhere in this manual.

Note: For practical operation, horsepower loading should

not exceed 85% of rated horsepower. Engine power will de-

crease 3-1/2% for each 1,000 feet (300 meters) above sea

level and 1% for each 10°F (5.6°C) above 77°F (25°C).

Engine will operate satisfactorily at an angle up to 15°.

OIL

275092

CAUTION: This engine is shipped from Briggs &

Stratton without oil. Check oil level before starting

engine. If you start the engine without oil, the

engine will be damaged beyond repair and will not

be covered under warranty.

Note: If this engine is equipped with gear reduction, gear

reduction case must be filled with oil prior to operating en-

gine. See gear reduction oil filling instructions on page 12.

OIL CAPACITY

Model 110000 and 120000 series engines hold approxi-

mately 5/8 quart (20 ounces; 0.6 liter).

Model series 200000 and 210000 engines hold approxi-

mately 7/8 quart (28 ounces; 0.8 liter).

TYPE OF OIL TO USE

•Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For Service

SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher, such as Briggs & Stratton

SAE 30, Part Number 100005 (20 oz) or 100028 (48 oz).

•Do not use special additives.

•Choose a viscosity according to the table opposite.

Note: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API

certification mark and API service symbol

(shown at left) with “SJ/CF ENERGY CON-

SERVING” or higher, is an acceptable oil at all

temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not

alter required oil change intervals.

°F-20 0 20 40 60 80 100

°C-30 -20 -10 0 10 20 30 40

STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE

*CAUTION: 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.

** CAUTION: SAE 30 oil, if used below 40°F (4°C), will result

in hard starting and possible engine bore damage due to

inadequate lubrication.

FUEL

TYPE OF FUEL TO USE

•Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a

minimum of 85 octane. Fresh fuel prevents gum from

forming in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts.

Purchase fuel in quantity that can be used within 30 days.

•Do not use gasoline which contains Methanol.

•Do not mix oil with gasoline.

•For engine protection use Briggs & Stratton Gasoline

Additive available from your Authorized Briggs &

Stratton Dealer (P/N 5041 or single use pouch).

•This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. Exhaust

Emission Control System: EM (Engine Modifications).

CAUTION: Some fuels, called oxygenated or reformu-

lated gasoline, are gasoline 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.

ADDING FUEL

Fuel Fill

WARNING

[1] Remove cap. Fill tank to approximately 1-1/2

inches below top of neck to allow for fuel

expansion. Be careful not to overfill.

Briggs & Stratton Smart-fill)fuel can fills to the

correct level and automatically shuts off, reduc-

ing spills and emissions.

[2] Replace cap before starting.

•Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2

minutes before removing gas cap.

•Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.

•Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames,

pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

•If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before

starting engine.

STARTING

STARTING AND OPERATING TIPS

♦Store and fuel equipment in level position.

♦Use fresh fuel. (See Fuel.)

♦Use correct type of oil for expected starting

temperature. (See Oil.)

♦Remove external equipment/engine loads. (See

equipment operating instructions.)

♦Periodically remove any debris buildup from the

machine (See Maintenance.)

♦After engine has started, let it warm up several

seconds to several minutes, depending on outside

temperature.

♦For maximum performance and life, operate engine

with choke in RUN and throttle in FAST.
