Emissions Control Service
For maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions control devices
and systems, contact a qualified off-road engine repair establishment or
service technician. However, for "no charge" emissions control service, the
work must be done by a factory authorized dealer. Refer to the Emissions Control
Statements.
Carburetor and Engine Speed
Do not make adjustments to the carburetor or engine speed. The carburetor was
set at the factory to operate satisfactorily in most conditions. Do not change the
governor spring, linkages, or other parts to adjust the engine speed. If adjustments
are necessary, contact a Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealer for servicing.
NOTICE: The equipment manufacturer specifies the maximum speed for the
engine as installed on the equipment. Do not exceed this speed. If you are not sure
what the equipment maximum speed is, or what the engine speed is set to from
the factory, contact a Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealer for assistance.
For safe and correct operation of the equipment, the engine speed should only be
adjusted by a qualified service technician.
Troubleshooting
For assistance, contact your local dealer or go to BRIGGSandSTRATTON.com or
call 1-800-444-7774 (in USA).
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.
