Power Ratings: The gross power rating for individual gasoline 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 gasoline 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.
* Generator rated in accordance with CSA (Canadian Standards Association) standard C22.2 No. 100-14, Motors and Generators.
** This generator is rated in accordance with Briggs & Stratton standard 628K.
§ Measured sound values in accordance to AS 2790-1989, Electricity Generating Sets - Transportable (Up to 25 kw).
Cause
1. One of the circuit breakers is open.
2. Poor connection or defective cord set.
3. Connected device is bad.
1. Generator is overloaded.
1. Engine switch set to off (0) position.
2. Low oil level.
3. Dirty air cleaner.
4. Out of fuel.
5. Spark plug wire not connected to
spark plug.
6. Flooded with fuel.

Troubleshooting/Specifications

Correction
1. Reset circuit breaker.
2. Check and repair.
3. Connect another device that is in
good condition.
1. See Generator Capacity.
1. Set switch to on (I) position.
2. Fill crankcase to proper level or
place generator on level surface.
3. Clean or replace air cleaner.
4. Fill fuel tank.
5. Connect wire to spark plug.
6. Wait 5 minutes and re-crank
engine.
