Proper maintenance and repair is important to safe, reliable operation of all engines and engine-
driven systems. The maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair procedures described in this manual are
appropriate for the Briggs & Stratton engines described herein. Alternative methods or procedures may

Briggs & Stratton offers two complementary publications to enhance understanding of engine technology,

engine technicians.
• For consumers, Small Engine and Equipment Maintenance Guide (Part No. CE8155) provides a
comprehensive overview of how small air-cooled engines work, basic troubleshooting, and step-by-
step maintenance procedures.
• For engine technicians and consumers alike, an in-depth study of engine theory and operation can be
found in the textbook Small Engines (Part No. CE8020).
Both publications can be purchased at BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM or through a local Briggs & Stratton
Authorized Service Dealer.
