4. Replace the fuel filter (A, Figure 23) with an original equipment replacement filter.
5. Secure the fuel lines (D, Figure 23) with clamps (C) as shown.
Service Cooling System
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 cool before touching.
• Remove accumulated debris from muffler area and cylinder area.
NOTICE Do not use water to clean the engine. Water could contaminate the fuel
system. Use a brush or dry cloth to clean the engine.
This is an air cooled engine. Dirt or debris can restrict air flow and cause the engine to
overheat, resulting in poor performance and reduced engine life.
1. Use a brush or dry cloth to remove debris from the air intake grille.
2. Keep linkage, springs and controls clean.
3. Keep the area around and behind the muffler, if equipped, free of any combustible
debris.
4. Make sure the oil cooler fins, if equipped, are free of dirt and debris.
After a period of time, debris can accumulate in the cylinder cooling fins and cause the
engine to overheat. This debris cannot be removed without partial disassembly of the
engine. Have a Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealer inspect and clean the air
cooling system as recommended in the Maintenance Schedule.
Lithium-Ion Battery Pack Disposal
WARNING
Battery chemicals are toxic and corrosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Electrical Shock
• Never burn or incinerate discarded or used battery packs as they may explode.
Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs are burned.
• Do not use a battery that has been crushed, dropped, or damaged.
Used and discarded battery packs will likely still carry a small electrical charge and
should be handled with care. Always dispose of discarded or used battery packs
according to federal, state and local regulations.
RBRC (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal
RBRC is a non-profit public service organization dedicated to recycling
used rechargeable batteries. To find a battery collection site near
you, call toll free 1-800-8-BATTERY or 1-877-2-RECYCLE. For more

Storage
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Electrical Shock
When Storing Fuel Or Equipment With Fuel In Tank
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have
pilot lights or other ignition sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.
When Storing Battery Pack
• Keep battery charger dry. Avoid exposing battery pack to rain or wet conditions.
Fuel System
See Figure: 24, 25
Note: Some models have a fuel tank for vertical storage that will let the engine tilt for
maintenance or storage (C, Figure 24). Do not store in vertical position with fuel tank
filled above the bottom of the fuel level indicator (D), if equipped. For further instructions,
see the equipment manual.
12
Store the engine level (normal operating position). Fill fuel tank (A, Figure 25) with fuel.
To allow for expansion of fuel, do not overfill above the fuel tank neck (B).
Fuel can become stale when kept in a storage container for more than 30 days. Each
time you fill the container with fuel, add fuel stabilizer to the fuel as specified by the
manufacturer's instructions. This keeps fuel fresh and decreases fuel-related problems
or contamination in the fuel system.
It is not necessary to drain fuel from the engine when fuel stabilizer is added as
instructed. Before storage, turn the engine ON for 2 minutes to move the fuel and
stabilizer through the fuel system.
Engine Oil
While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil. See the Change Oil section. For
Just Check & Add™ models, an oil change is not required.
Battery Pack and Charger
See Figure: 26
When not in use, disconnect charger and store in a cool, dry area. Wet, damp areas can
cause corrosion of terminals and electrical contacts. If stored for long periods in high
temperatures (120° F / 49° C), permanent damage to the battery pack can result. Check
electrical terminals and contacts on battery packs and charger. Wipe with clean cloth or
blow clean with compressed air.
After storage, a normal charge may be required. To check available charge, press the
Battery Fuel Gauge button (E, Figure 26) and charge if required. See the Battery Fuel
Gauge section.

Engine power will decrease 3.5% for each 1,000 feet (300 meters) above sea level and
1% for each 10° F (5.6° C) above 77° F (25° C). The engine will operate satisfactorily
at an angle up to 15°. Refer to the equipment operator's manual for safe allowable
operating limits on slopes.
