WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion could result in
burns or death.
When you start the engine
• Make sure that the spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner (if equipped) are
correctly installed.
• Do not crank the engine with the spark plug removed.
• If the engine is flooded, set the choke (if equipped) to the OPEN or RUN
position. Move the throttle (if equipped) to the FAST position and crank until the
engine starts.
• If there is natural or LP gas leakage in the area, do not start the engine.
• Because vapors are flammable, do not use pressurized starter fluids.
NOTE: Your equipment could have remote controls. Refer to the equipment manual for
location and operation of remote controls.
1. Check the Engine Oil. See Check the Oil Level section.
2. Check the battery tray on top of the engine for debris. If the battery tray is dirty,
clean it with a brush or cloth. Put the battery pack (B, Figure 9) in the engine battery
tray on top of the engine. Make sure that the battery pack is safely installed. The
battery pack can represent equipment key in some instances.
NOTE: To wake-up a new battery, a First Time quick charge of approximately ten (10)
seconds is necessary. See the When to Charge the Battery Pack section.
3. Make sure that the equipment drive controls, if installed, are disengaged.
4. Move the throttle control (A, Figure 10), if installed, to the FAST position. Operate
the engine in the FAST position.
5. Models with Electric Start Switch: Hold the engine stop lever (C, Figure 11), if
installed, against the handle. Move the electric start switch to the START position.
Refer to the equipment manual for the location and operation of the electric start
switch.
6. Models with Electric Start Button: Hold the engine stop lever (C, Figure 11), if
installed, against the handle. Push the electric start button to start the engine. Refer
to the equipment manual for the location and operation of the electric start button.
7. Models without Electric Start Switch or Start Button: Hold the engine stop lever
(C, Figure 11) against the handle. The engine will automatically start. Refer to 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 flash, then the battery
pack temperature is too hot or the current draw is too high. All four battery display
lights (H, Figure 12) 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 let it cool. To
prevent too much current draw on lawnmowers, keep the mower housing clean of
accumulated grass and debris.
NOTE: If the engine does not start after 2-3 attempts, contact your local dealer or go to
BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM or call 1-800-444-7774 (in USA).
Stop the Engine
Engine Stop Lever, if installed: Release the engine stop lever (E, Figure 13).

2. Throttle Control, if installed with stop feature: Move the throttle control (A,
Figure 14) to the OFF or STOP position.
3. Electric Start Switch, if installed: Move the electric start switch to the OFF or
STOP position. Refer to the equipment manual for the location and operation of the
switch.
4. Remove the key and keep it in a safe location.
5. Remove the battery pack. The battery pack can represent equipment key in some
instances.

Maintenance
Maintenance Information
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion could result in
burns or death.
During maintenance if it is necessary to tilt the unit, make sure that the fuel tank, if
mounted on the engine, is empty and that the spark plug side is up. If the fuel tank is not
empty, leakage can occur and could result in a fire or an explosion. If the engine is tilted
in a different direction, it will not easily start because of oil or fuel contamination of the air
filter or the spark plug.
WARNING
Accidental engine spark can cause an electric shock, fire or explosion and could
result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration.
Before you make adjustments or repairs:
• Disconnect all spark plug wires and keep them away from the spark plugs.
• Disconnect the battery wire from the negative battery terminal (only engines with
electric start).
• Use only the correct tools.
When you check for spark:
• Use an approved spark plug tester.
• Do not check for spark with the spark plug removed.
WARNING
Replacement parts must be of the same design and installed in the same position as the
original parts. Other parts could result in damage or an injury.
NOTICE
All the components used to build this engine must remain in place for correct operation.
See a Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealer for all maintenance and servicing of
the engine and engine parts.
