WARNING
POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You CANNOT see it, smell it, or taste
it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon
monoxide gas. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this product,
shut it off and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon
monoxide poisoning.
• Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows, doors and vents to reduce
the risk of carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being drawn
towards occupied spaces.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide alarms
with battery back-up according to the manufacturer's instructions. Smoke alarms
cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces, sheds,
or other partially-enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors and windows
for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these spaces and can linger
for hours, even after this product has shut off.
• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from
occupied spaces.
NOTICE
This engine was shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Before you start
the engine, make sure you add oil according to the instructions in this manual. If you
start the engine without oil, it will be damaged beyond repair and will not be covered
under warranty.
Note: Equipment may have remote controls. See the equipment manual for location and
operation of remote controls.
1. Check the engine oil. See the Check Oil Level section.
2. Mount the battery pack (A, Figure 8) in the engine battery tray on top of the engine.
Make sure battery pack is securely installed. Battery pack may represent equipment
key in some instances.
Note: To wake up a new battery, a First Time quick charge of approximately ten (10)
seconds is required. See the When To Charge Battery Pack section.
3. Make sure equipment drive controls, if equipped, are disengaged.
4. Move the fuel shut-off (D, Figure 9), if equipped, to the OPEN position.
5. Move the throttle control (B, Figure 9), if equipped, to the FAST position. Operate
the engine in the FAST position.
6. Models with electric start switch: Hold the engine stop lever (C, Figure 10) against
the handle. Move the electric start switch to the START position. See the equipment
manual for the location and operation of the electric start switch.
7. Models without electric start switch: Hold the engine stop lever (C, Figure 10)
against the handle. Engine will automatically start. See the equipment manual for
operation of the engine stop lever.
NOTICE
To extend the life of the starter, use short starting cycles (five seconds
maximum). Wait one minute between starting cycles.
If the engine will not crank and the battery pack display lights are flashing, then the battery
pack temperature is too hot or current draw is too high. All four battery display lights (H,
Figure 11) will flash a warning for 10 seconds. The battery pack does not have a fuse, but
will automatically reset after 10 seconds. If battery pack temperature is too hot (over 140
F, 60 C), remove the battery and allow it to cool. To avoid excess current draw on
lawnmowers, keep the mower housing clean of grass build-up and debris.
Note: If the engine does not start after repeated attempts, contact a local dealer or go to
BRIGGSandSTRATTON.com or call 1-800-233-3723 (in USA).
