Remove Oil
1. With engine OFF but warm, disconnect the spark plug wire(s) (D, Figure 5), and
keep it away from the spark plug(s)(E).
2. Remove the dipstick (A, Figure 6).
3. Remove the oil drain plug (F, Figure 7). Drain the oil into an approved container.
4. Install and tighten the oil drain plug (F, Figure 7).
Change the Oil Filter
1. Drain the oil from the engine. Refer to the Remove Oil section.
2. Remove the oil filter (H, Figure 8) and discard correctly.
3. Before you install the new oil filter, lightly lubricate the oil filter gasket with clean oil.
4. Install the oil filter by hand until the gasket touches the oil filter adapter, then tighten
the oil filter 1/2 to 3/4 turns.
5. Add oil. Refer to the Add Oil section.
6. Start and operate the engine. When the engine is warm, do a check for oil leaks.
7. Stop the engine. Make sure that oil level is at the top of the full indicator on the
dipstick. Refer to the Add Oil section.
Add Oil
• Make sure the engine is level.
• Clean the oil fill area of all debris.
• Refer to the Specifications section for oil capacity.
1. Remove the dipstick (A, Figure 6). Remove oil from the dipstick with a clean cloth.
Slowly add oil into the engine oil fill (C, Figure 6). Do not overfill. Wait one minute
2.
and then check the oil level.
3. Install and tighten the dipstick (A, Figure 6).
4. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. The correct oil level is at the top of the
full indicator (B, Figure 6) on the dipstick.
5. Install and tighten the dipstick (A, Figure 6).

Servicing the Air Filter
WARNING
Fuel vapors are flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion could result in burns
or death.
• Do not start and operate the engine with the air cleaner assembly (if equipped)
or the air filter (if equipped) removed.
NOTICE
Do not use pressurized air or solvents to clean the filter. Pressurized air could result in
damage to the filter and solvents will dissolve the filter.
See the Maintenance Schedule for servicing requirements.
Different models will use a foam or a paper filter. Some models could also have an
optional pre-cleaner that can be cleaned and used again. Compare the illustrations in
this manual with the type installed on your engine and service as follows.
Low Profile Air Filter
1. Remove the fastener(s) (A, Figure 9).
2. Remove the cover (B, Figure 9).
3. Remove the fastener(s) (C, Figure 9) and retainer (D).
4. Remove the air filter (E, Figure 9).
5. Remove the pre-cleaner (F, Figure 9), if installed, from the air filter (E).
6. To loosen unwanted material, lightly tap the air filter (E, Figure 9) on a hard surface.
If the air filter is dirty, replace with a new air filter.
7. Clean the pre-cleaner (F, Figure 9), if installed, in liquid detergent and water. Make
sure the pre-cleaner is fully dry. Do not lubricate the pre-cleaner.
8. Assemble the dry pre-cleaner (F, Figure 9), if installed, to the air filter (E).
9. Install the air filter (E, Figure 9) with the retainer (D) and fastener(s) (C).
10. Install the cover (B, Figure 9) with the fastener(s) (A). Make sure that the fastener(s)
is tight.

Storage
WARNING
Propane and natural gas are flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion could
result in burns or death.
Fuel Storage
• Because pilot lights or other ignition sources can cause explosions, keep fuel or
equipment away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that
have pilot lights.
Engine Oil
While the engine is warm, change the engine oil. Refer to Change the Engine Oil
section.
NOTICE Keep the engine level at the usual operating position. If the engine is tipped in
other directions, it can be difficult to start due to oil contamination to the air filter and/or
the spark plug.

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.
