THE POWER IN POWER EQUIPMENT

Thank you for selecting a Briggs & Stratton engine to power your equipment.

Briggs & Stratton is committed to producing a line of engines which will make your life’s chores easier to

perform. We have, at the same time, improved the design of our engines so they are environmentally

friendly. Since 1995, we have succeeded in reducing smog-forming exhaust emissions from our engines

by 70%. Briggs & Stratton’s efforts have not stopped there. We are also committed to designing and

introducing even cleaner engines in the future, while maintaining our reputation for excellent utility and

value.

Briggs & Stratton’s environmental awareness has resulted in the engineering of the “Smart-Fill” gas

can, featuring a spill resistant nozzle which opens only when fully inserted into the gas tank, and which

shuts off automatically when the tank is full. Because refueling spills can harm the environment, the

Smart-Fillcontainer helps preserve a stronger ecosystem by reducing this source of pollution.

We hope you will enjoy your new engine and equipment. We welcome you to our worldwide family of

Briggs & Stratton engine users.

Best Wishes Always,

The Employees of Briggs & Stratton Corporation

SAFETY

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.

•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.

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.

•Direct coupled equipment components such as,

but not limited to, blades, impellors, pulleys,
