THE POWER IN POWER EQUIPMENTThank 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 toperform. We have, at the same time, improved the design of our engines so they are environmentallyfriendly. Since 1995, we have succeeded in reducing smog-forming exhaust emissions from our enginesby 70%. Briggs & Stratton’s efforts have not stopped there. We are also committed to designing andintroducing even cleaner engines in the future, while maintaining our reputation for excellent utility andvalue.

Briggs & Stratton’s environmental awareness has resulted in the engineering of the “Smart-Fill ” gascan, featuring a spill resistant nozzle which opens only when fully inserted into the gas tank, and whichshuts off automatically when the tank is full. Because refueling spills can harm the environment, theSmart-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 ofBriggs & Stratton engine users.

Best Wishes Always,

The Employees of Briggs & Stratton Corporation

SAFETY

WARNING

Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammableand explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

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

1/2 inch below lowest portion of fill opening to allowfor fuel expansion.

• Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames,pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequentlyfor 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 EQUIPMENTWITH FUEL IN TANK

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters orother appliances that have pilot light or otherignition source because they can ignite gasolinevapors.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electricshock.

Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement,traumatic amputation, or laceration.

BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS ORREPAIRS

• Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away fromspark plug.

• Disconnect battery at negative terminal (onlyengines with electric start).

WHEN TESTING FOR SPARK• Use approved spark plug tester.• Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.

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 coolbefore touching.

• Remove accumulated combustibles from mufflerarea and cylinder area.

• Install and maintain in working order a sparkarrester before using equipment on forest-covered,grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land.The state of California requires this (Section 4442of the California Public Resources Code). Otherstates may have similar laws. Federal laws applyon federal land.

WARNING

Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet,hair, clothing, or accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe laceration canresult.

• 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 handand arm toward engine faster than you can let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains couldresult.

• When starting engine, pull cord slowly untilresistance is felt, then pull rapidly.

• Remove all external equipment/engine loadsbefore starting engine.

• Direct coupled equipment components such as,but not limited to, blades, impellors, pulleys,sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.

In the USA and Canada, a 24 hour hot line, 1-800-233-3723, has a menu of pre-recorded messages offering you engine maintenance information.

About your engine warranty: (see next page for statement of LIMITED WARRANTY).

Briggs & Stratton welcomes warranty repair and apologizesto you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized ServiceDealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty repairsare handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warrantyservice may not be appropriate. For example, warranty wouldnot apply if engine damage occurred because of misuse, lackof routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing orimproper installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the serialnumber of the engine has been removed or the engine hasbeen altered or modified.

If a customer differs with the decision of the Service Dealer, aninvestigation will be made to determine whether the warrantyapplies. Ask the Service Dealer to submit all supporting facts tohis Distributor or the Factory for review. If the Distributor or theFactory decides that the claim is justified, the customer will befully reimbursed for those items that are defective. To avoidmisunderstanding which might occur between the customerand the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of enginefailure that the warranty does not cover.

Normal wear:Engines, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts ser-vice and replacement to perform well. Warranty will not coverrepair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or anengine.

Improper maintenance:

The life of an engine depends upon the conditions underwhich it operates, and the care it receives. Some applications,such as tillers, pumps and rotary mowers, are very often usedin dusty or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears tobe premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust,spark plug cleaning grit, or other abrasive material that hasentered the engine because of improper maintenance, is notcovered by warranty.

This warranty covers engine related defective materialand/or workmanship only, and not replacement or refundof the equipment to which the engine may be mounted.Nor does the warranty extend to repairs required be-cause of:

1. PROBLEMS CAUSED BY PARTS THAT ARE NOTORIGINAL BRIGGS & STRATTON PARTS.

2. Equipment controls or installations that prevent starting,cause unsatisfactory engine performance, or shorten en-gine life. (Contact equipment manufacturer.)

3. Leaking carburetors, clogged fuel pipes, sticking valves,or other damage, caused by using contaminated or stalefuel. (Use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline and Briggs &Stratton gasoline stabilizer, Part No. 5041.)

4. Parts which are scored or broken because an engine wasoperated with insufficient or contaminated lubricating oil,or an incorrect grade of lubricating oil (check oil level dailyor after every 8 hours of operation. Refill when necessaryand change at recommended intervals.) OIL GARDmay not shut down running engine. Engine damage mayoccur if oil level is not properly maintained. Read Operat-ing & Maintenance Instructions.

5. Repair or adjustment of associated parts or assembliessuch as clutches, transmissions, remote controls, etc.,which are not manufactured by Briggs & Stratton.

6. Damage or wear to parts caused by dirt, which enteredthe engine because of improper air cleaner maintenance,re-assembly, or use of a non-original air cleaner elementor cartridge. (At recommended intervals, clean and re-oilthe Oil-Foam element or the foam pre-cleaner, and re-place the cartridge.) Read Operating & MaintenanceInstructions.

7. Parts damaged by overspeeding, or overheating causedby grass, debris, or dirt, which plugs or clogs the coolingfins, or flywheel area, or damage caused by operating theengine in a confined area without sufficient ventilation.(Clean fins on the cylinder, cylinder head and flywheel atrecommended intervals.) Read Operating & MaintenanceInstructions.

8. Engine or equipment parts broken by excessive vibrationcaused by a loose engine mounting, loose cutter blades,unbalanced blades or loose or unbalanced impellers, im-proper attachment of equipment to engine crankshaft,overspeeding or other abuse in operation.

9. A bent or broken crankshaft, caused by striking a solid ob-ject with the cutter blade of a rotary lawn mower, or exces-sive v-belt tightness.

10. Routine tune-up or adjustment of the engine.

Warranty is available only through service dealers whichhave been authorized by Briggs & Stratton Corporation.Your nearest Authorized Service Dealer is listed in the“Yellow Pages ” of your telephone directory under “En-gines, Gasoline” or “Gasoline Engines,” “Lawn Mow-ers,” or similar category.
