BRIGGS & STRATTON 4-CYCLE ENGINE MODEL NUMBER 122T02-3845-EA
Engine Power Rating Information
The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society
of Automo-tive Engineers) code J11940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rat-
ing performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-5).
Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating
conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given both the wide array of products on which engines
are placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to op-erating the equipment, the gas
engine will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment (actual
"on-site" or net horsepower). This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to,
accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limita-
tions, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability.
Due to manufactur-ing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher
rated power for this Series engine.
