Power Ratings: The gross power rating for individual petrol engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 Small

Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque values are derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with "rpm" called

out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.

COM. Net power values are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these attachments. Actual gross engine

power will be higher than net engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide

array of products on which engines are placed, the petrol engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment. This

difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components (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 engine.
