The Power That Works For You.

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

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.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or

electric shock.

Unintentional start-up can result in en-

tanglement, traumatic amputation, or lac-

eration.

BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS OR

REPAIRS

•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.

ENGINE INFORMATION

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

POWER RATINGS: The power ratings for an individual engine

model are initially developed by starting with SAE (Society of Auto-

motive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque

Rating Procedure) (Revision 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 equipment, 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 difference is due to a variety of factors including,

but not limited to, the following: differences in altitude, tempera-

ture, barometric pressure, humidity, fuel, engine lubrication, maxi-

mum governed engine speed, individual engine to engine variabil-

ity, design of the particular piece of power equipment, the manner

in which the engine 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 derived using the foregoing codes.

will be damaged beyond repair and will not be

covered under warranty.

OIL CAPACITY

The engine holds approximately 5/8 qt (20 ozs; 0.6 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.

•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.
