WARNING
Starting engine creates sparking.
Sparking can ignite nearby flammable
gases.
Explosion and fire could result.
• If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not
start engine.
• Do not use pressurized starting fluids because
vapors are flammable.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Engine
parts, especially muffler, become ex
tremely 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 combustibles from muffler
area and cylinder area.
• Install and maintain in working order a spark
arrester before using equipment on forest cov
ered, grass covered, brush covered unimproved
land. The state of California requires this (Section
4442 of the California Public Resources Code).
Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws
apply on federal land.
WARNING
Rotating parts can contact or entangle
hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accesso
ries.
Traumatic amputation or severe lacera
tion can result.
• Operate equipment with guards in place.
• Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
• Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
• Do not wear loose fitting clothing, dangling
drawstrings or items that could become caught.
WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire
or electric shock.
Unintentional start up can result in en
tanglement, traumatic amputation, or
laceration.
BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS OR
REPAIRS
• Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from
spark plug.
• Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only
engines with electric start).
WHEN TESTING FOR SPARK
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.
WARNING
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an
odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
nausea, fainting or death.
• Start and run engine outdoors.
• Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if
doors or windows are open.
OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
CAUTION: This engine is shipped from Briggs &
Stratton without oil. Check oil level before starting
engine. If you start the engine without oil, the engine
will be damaged beyond repair and will not be covered
under warranty.
Oil capacity is about 2.5 liter (87 ounces).*
*Approximate amount when changing oil & filter.
Type of Oil to use
• Use a high quality detergent oil classified For Service
SF, SG, SH, SJ" or higher such as Briggs & Stratton 30,
Part Number 100005 (20 oz) or 100028 (48 oz).
• Use no special additives with recommended oils.
• Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Fig. 2
• Choose the SAE viscosity grade of oil from this chart
that matches the starting temperature anticipated
before the next oil change.
*
CAUTION: The use of non synthetic multi viscosity
oils (5W 30, 10W 30, etc.) in temperatures above 40° F
(4° C) will result in higher than normal oil consumption.
When using a multi viscosity oil, check oil level more
frequently.
**
CAUTION: Use of SAE 30 oil below 40° F (4° C) will
result in hard starting and possible engine damage due
to inadequate lubrication.
Note: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF 2, API
certification mark and API service symbol (shown
at left) with SJ/CF ENERGY CONSERVING" or
higher, is an acceptable oil at all temperatures.
Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil
change intervals.
CHECKING AND ADDING OIL
Fig. 3
•
Check oil level before starting the engine.
•
Check level daily, or after every eight (8) hours
Ë
•
Keep oil level at FULL
.
•
Do not overfill.
Oil filling procedure:
1. First add 2 liters (67 ounces).
2. Start and run engine at idle for 30 seconds. See Starting
Instructions.
3. Shut engine off and wait 30 seconds.
4. Then add more oil slowly to bring level to Full mark on
dipstick.
Oil checking procedure:
1. Place engine level.
Ì
Clean around oil fill and dipstick
2. Remove dipstick and wipe clean with cloth.
3. Then push dipstick back in and remove to check oil level.
Oil should be at FULL line on dipstick
4. If oil is needed, add slowly.
5. Fill to FULL line on dipstick - recheck.
6. Replace dipstick firmly.
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
of 85 octane. Fresh fuel prevents gum from forming in the fuel
system or on essential carburetor parts. Purchase fuel in quan
tity that can be used within 30 days.
•
Do not use gasoline which contains Methanol.
2
•
Do not mix oil with gasoline.
•
For engine protection use Briggs & Stratton Gasoline
Additive available from your Authorized Briggs & Stratton
Dealer (P/N 5041 or single use pouch).
This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. Exhaust
Emission Control System: EM (Engine Modifications).
CAUTION:
Some fuels, called oxygenated or reformulated gasoline,
are gasoline blended with alcohols or ethers. Excessive
amounts of these blends can damage the fuel system or
cause performance problems. If any undesirable operating
symptoms occur, use gasoline with a lower percentage of
alcohol or ether.
ADDING FUEL
WARNING
1. Remove cap. Fill tank to approximately 1 1/2 inches below
top of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Be careful not to
overfill.
2. Replace cap before starting.
COOLANT
•
This engine is liquid cooled.
•
A 50/50 mixture of phosphate free antifreeze and tap water
is required for heat dissipation, rust resistance and
lubrication.

ADDING COOLANT
1. Fill radiator
between FULL and LOW
2. Start and run engine for 30 seconds.
See Starting Instructions.
3. Shut engine off and allow it to cool.
Recheck coolant levels in radiator and reservoir.
STARTING/STOPPING
.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE FOR THE FIRST TIME:
•
Fill and check oil level.
Ë
.
• Fill and check coolant level.
•
Fill with fresh gasoline.
•
Charge battery as the equipment manufacturer
recommends.
The manufacturer of the equipment on which
this engine is installed specifies top speed at
which the engine will be operated. DO NOT EX
CEED this speed.
WARNING
•
Do not touch radiator or open radiator cap,
or open reservoir when engine is hot or
running.
•
Allow engine to cool before changing or
