Technical Information
Engine Power Rating Information
The gross power rating for individual gas engine
models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of
Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine
Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating
performance has been obtained and corrected in
accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05).
Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower
values are derived at 3600 RPM. Actual gross engine
power will be lower and is affected by, among other
things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-
engine variability. Given both the wide array of
products on which engines are placed and the
variety of environmental issues applicable to
operating the equipment, the gas engine will not
develop the rated gross power when used in a given
piece of power equipment (actual on-site" or net
power). This difference is due to a variety of factors
including, but not limited to, accessories (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
Series engine.

Safety Precautions
* Briggs & Stratton does not necessarily know what
equipment this engine will power. For that reason,
you should carefully read and understand the
operating instructions for the equipment on which
your engine is placed.
BEFORE OPERATING ENGINE
• Read entire Operating & Maintenance Instructions
AND the instructions for the equipment this engine
powers.*
• Failure to follow instructions could result in serious
injury or death.
THE OPERATING & MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS CONTAIN SAFETY
INFORMATION TO
• Make you aware of hazards associated with engines
• Inform you of the risk of injury associated with those
hazards, and
• Tell you how to avoid or reduce the risk of injury.
The safety alert symbol is used to identify safety
information about hazards that can result in personal injury.
A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION) is used
with the alert symbol to indicate the likelihood and the potential
severity of injury. In addition, a hazard symbol may be used to
represent the type of hazard.
DANGER indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,
might result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION
, when used without the alert symbol,
indicates a situation that could result in damage to
the engine.
The engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
