ENGINE TECHNICAL INFORMATION
This is a single cylinder, overhead valve (OHV), air
cooled engine. In the State of California, Model 150000
engines are certified by the California Air Resources
Board to meet emissions standards for 250 hours.
Such certification does not grant the purchaser, owner
or operator of this engine any additional warranties with
respect to the performance or operational life of this
engine. The engine is warranted solely according to the
product and emissions warranties stated elsewhere in
this manual.
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.

NOTICE For practical operation, the engine load
should not exceed 85% of rated power. Engine power
will decrease 3-1/2% for each 1,000 ft. (300 m) above
sea level and 1% for each 10° F (5.6° C) above 77° F
(25° C). It should operate satisfactorily at an angle up
to 15°.
* This pressure washer is rated in accordance to
the Pressure Washer Manufacturers Association
(PWMA) standard PW101-2010 (Testing and Rating
Performance of Pressure Washers).
