In the Interest of Safety This safety alert symbol indicates that this message involves personal safety . Words danger , warning and caution indicate degree of hazard. Death, personal injury and/or property damage may occur unless instructions are followed carefully. You are not ready to operate this engine if you have not read and understood the following safety items. Read this entire owner ’s manual and the operating instructions of the equipment this engine powers. The Briggs & Stratton engine you bought with your equipment is made of the finest material in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Please understand that Briggs & Stratton sells engines to original equipment manufacturers. It also sells to others i n the distribution chain who may sell to the ultimate consumer , an equipment manufacturer , another distributor or a dealer . As a resu lt, Briggs & Stratton does not necessarily know the application on which the engine will be placed. For that reason, you should carefully read and understand the operating instructions of the equipment on which your engine is placed before you operate it. You should also understand that there are equipment applications for which Briggs & Stratton does not approve the use of its engines. Briggs & Stratton engines are not to be used on vehicles with less than 4 wheels. They include motor bikes, aircraft products and All Terrain Vehicles. Moreover, Briggs & Stratton does not approve of its engines being used in competitive events . F0R THAT REASON, BRIGGS & STRATTON ENGINES ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR ANY OF THESE APPLICATIONS. Fail- ure to follow this warning could result in death, serious injury (including paralysis) or property damage. DO NOT run engine in an enclosed area. (Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly poison.) DO NOT remove fuel tank cap nor fill fuel tank while engine is hot or running. DO NOT refuel indoors or in an unventilated area. ( Allow engine to cool 2 minutes before refueling.) DO NOT place hands or feet near moving or rotating parts. DO NOT store, spill, or use gasoline near an open flame, nor near an appliance like a stove, furnace, or water heater that uses a pilot light or can create a spark. DO NOT refuel indoors or in an unventilated area. DO NOT operate or tip engine/equipment at such a severe angle that causes gasoline spillage. DO NOT operate engine if gasoline is spilled or when smell of gasoline is present or other explosive conditions exist. (Move equipment away from spill and avoid any ignition until gasoline has evaporated.) DO NOT transport engine with fuel in tank or fuel shut-of f valve open. DO NOT choke carburetor to stop engine, especially in an enclosed vehicle. (Whenever possible, gradually reduce engine speed before stopping.) DO NOT tamper with governor springs, links or other parts to increase engine speed. (Run engine at speed set for equipment manufacturer.) DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed. (Use an approved tester.) DO NOT crank engine with spark plug removed. (If engine is flooded, place throttle in FAST and crank until engine starts.) DO NOT strike flywheel with a hammer or hard object as this may cause flywheel to shatter in operation. (To remove flywheel, use Briggs & Stratton approved tools only.) DO NOT operate engine without a muffler. (Inspect periodically and replace if worn or leaking. If engine is equipped with muffler deflector, inspect periodically and replace if necessary. Re- placement parts must be same as on original equipment.) DO NOT operate engine with an accumulation of grass, leaves or other combustible material in muffler area. DO NOT use this engine on any forest covered, brush covered, or grass covered unimproved land unless a spark arrester is installed on muf fler. The spark arrester must be maintained in working order by the owner and/or operator. In the State of California the above is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. DO NOT touch hot muffler, cylinder, or fins which can cause burns. DO NOT start engine with air cleaner or air cleaner cover removed (or cover over carburetor air intake, if Sno/Gard engine). DO NOT attempt to start engine with cutting blade loose or removed. (Blade must be tight, otherwise a kickback may occur.) ✔ PULL starter cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to avoid kickback and prevent hand or arm injury. ✔ PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING by removing spark plug wire from spark plug when servicing engine or equipment. Disconnect negative wire from battery terminal if equipped with electric starting system. ✔ REMOVE blower housing periodically and clean engine.

Before starting engine , check oil level as shown below. Change and add oil according to chart below . Do not over-fill. Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SG, SH,” such as Briggs & Stratton “warranty certified” SAE 30 oil, Part No. 100005. Use no special additives with recommended oils. Do not mix oil with gasoline. SAE Viscosity Grades °C -30 STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE °F -20 0 20 40 60 80 100 -20 -10 0 10 20 30 40 * ** 32 * Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines. The use of multi-viscosity oil such as (10W-30, etc.) in ambient temperatures above 40 ° F (4° C) will result in higher than normal oil consumption. If multi-viscosity oil is used, check the oil level more frequently to prevent any possible engine damage due to lack of lubrication. ** Use of SAE 30 oil below 40° F (4° C) will result in hard starting and possible engine damage due to inadequate lubrication. Fuel Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Fresh fuel prevents gum from forming in fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. Purchase fuel in quantity that can be used within 30 days. In countries other than the U.S.A., leaded gasoline may be used if commercially available and unleaded is unavailable. We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Gasoline Additive. (See your Authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer for Part No. 5041 or the single-use pouch.) See storage instructions, on page 9. Note: Some fuels, called oxygenated or reformulated gasolines, are gasolines blended with alcohols or ethers. Excessive amounts of these blends can damage the fuel system or cause performance problems. Do not use gasoline which contains Methanol. If any undesirable operating symptoms occur, use gasoline with a lower percentage of alcohol or ether. Do not over-fill fuel tank. Allow space for fuel expansion. Check oil level before starting engine. Add oil as shown below. Engine oil capacity is about 20 ounces (5/8 quart or 0.6 liter). After filling with or changing oil, start and run engine at idle for 30 seconds. Shut engine off. Wait 30 seconds and check oil level. Add oil, if required, to bring level to Full mark on dipstick. Place engine level. Clean around oil fill. Pour oil slowly. Fill to FULL mark – recheck. Tighten oil filler plug or dipstick before starting engine. FULL If equipped with oil filler plug, remove plug and fill to overflowing. Remove dipstick. Wipe clean. Turn dipstick in 1/4 turn to check oil. OIL LEVEL 1. Spark plug wire 2. Air cleaner 3.

It is designed for maxi- mum performance and life if operated with the choke fully open (in RUN) and throttle fully open (in FAST). To open the choke fully requires an engine warm-up period of several seconds to several minutes, depending on the temperature. After starting engine, first open the choke (toward RUN) until the engine just begins to run smoothly. Then open the choke in small steps, allowing the engine to accept small changes in speed and load, until the choke is fully open (in RUN). During engine warm-up, the equipment can be operated. To obtain best starting results Start, store and fuel equipment with engine in level position. Do not use a pressurized starting fluid. Starting fluid is flammable. Severe engine damage or fire may occur . A warm engine requires less choking than a cold engine. Starting in cold weather: Use the correct oil for the starting temperature expected. De-clutch all possible external loads. A warm battery has more starting capacity than a cold battery . Do not use gasoline left over from summer. Use fresh winter grade gasoline which has higher volatility to improve starting.
