ARNING:Gasolineis
flammable. Always
use caution
when
handlingor storinggasoline.
Turnengineoff
and
let enginecoolat least two minutes beforeremovingthe gas
cap. Do not add gasoline tothe fuel tankwhile snowthrower
is running,hot, or when snow throweris in an enclosed area.
Keep away from open flame, electricalsparksand DONOT
SMOKEwhilefilling the fuel tank. Never fiil the fuel tank
completely;butfill thefuel tankto within1-1/2 inches(3.8
ram) from thetop to providespace for the expansionof the
fuel. Alwaysfill fuel tankoutdoors and usea funnel or spout
to preventspilling. Make sure to wipe up any spilled fuel
before starting the engine.

Thisengineis certifiedto operateon gasoline.ExhaustEmissionControl

fuelstabilizer(follow instructionson fuelstabilizerpackage).DONOTuse
leadedgasoline.Werecommend
thatfuelstabilizerbeaddedto thefuel
eachtimethat gasolineis addedtothefueltank.
NOTE:Winter grade gasoline has higher volatility to improve
starting. Be certain containeris clean and free from rust or
other foreign particles. Never use gasoline that may be stale
from long periodsof storagein the container.
,_b

Store gasoline in a clean, approvedcontainer,and keep the
cap in placeon the container.Keepgasoline in a coolwell
ventilatedplace; neverin the house.Never buy more than a
30 day supply of gasoline to assure volatility.Gasolineis
intendedto be usedas a fuel for internalcombustionengines;
therefore,do notuse gasoline for any other purpose. Since
many childrenlike the smell of gasoline, keep it out of their
reach becausethe fumesare dangerousto inhale, as well as
being explosive.

CAUTION:DO NOT use gasoline containingany
amount of alcohol as it cancauseserious damage to
the engine or significantly reducethe performance.

neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.

at no cost

You are responsible for presenting your engine/equipment
to a B&S distribution
center, servicing dealer, or other equivalent entity, as applicable, as soon as a
problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of
time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have any questions regarding your warranty
rights and responsibilities, you should contact B&S at (414) 259-5262.

Coverage:

Small off-road engines are warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part on your
engine/equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S.

The following are specific provisions relative to your Emissions Control Warranty Coverage.
Operator's Manual.
1.
Warranted Emissions Parts

It is in addition to the B&S engine warranty for non-regulated
The warranty on emissions-related

purchased.
a.
Fuel Metering System
Cold start enrichment system (soft choke)
Carburetor and internal parts
Fuel pump
Fuel line, fuel line fittings, clamps
Fuel tank, cap and tether
Carbon canister

Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the owner's manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty
period stated above. If any such part fails during the period of warranty
coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S at no charge to the
owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty will be warranted
for the remaining warranty period.

b.

2.

Responsibilities:

As the small engine/equipment
owner, you are responsible for the performance of
the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. B&S recommends that you
retain all receipts covering maintenance on your engine/equipment, but B&S cannot
deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance
of all scheduled maintenance.

Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection
system, fuel tank, ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses,
belts, connectors, sensors, and other emissions-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your engine/equipment
to you including diagnosis, parts, and labor.

Warranty

Add on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board
may not be used. The use of any non exempted add on or modified parts by the
owner will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer will
not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non
exempted add on or modified part.

Length of Coverage

Consequential

4,

For a period of two years from date of original purchase, B&S warrants to the original
purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is designed, built, and
equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air
Resources Board; that it is free from defects in material and workmanship that could
cause the failure of a warranted part; and that it is identical in all material respects to
the engine described in the manufacturer's application for certification. The warranty
period begins on the date the engine is originally purchased.

Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Emissions
Standard must display information regarding the Emissions Durability Period and the Air
Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this information available to the consumer on our
emissions labels. The engine emissions label will indicate certification information.
The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running time
for which the engine is certified to be emissions compliant, assuming proper
maintenance in accordance with the Operating & Maintenance Instructions. The
following categories are used:
Moderate:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time.
intermediate:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running time.
Extended:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 500 hours of actual engine running time.
For example, a typical walk-behind lawn mower is used 20 to 25 hours per year.
Therefore, the Ernissione Durabimity Period of an engine with an intermediate rating
would equate to 10 to 12 years.

Coverage

Coverage shall extend to the failure of any engine components

Claims and Coverage Exclusions
Warranty claims shall be filed according to the provisions of the B&S engine
warranty policy. Warranty coverage does not apply to failures of emissions parts
that are not original equipment B&S parts or to parts that fail due to abuse, neglect,
or improper maintenance as set forth in the B&S engine warranty policy. B&S is not
liable for warranty coverage of failures of emissions parts caused by the use of
add-on or modified parts.

Briggs & Stratton engines are certified to meet the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emissions standards. For Phase 2 certified
engines, the Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance
label indicates the number of operating hours for which the engine has been shown to
meet Federal emissions requirements.
For engines less than 225 cc displacement.
Category C = 125 hours, Category B = 250 hours, Category A = 500 hours
For engines of 225 cc or more displacement.
Category C = 250 hours, Category B = 500 hours, Category A = 1000 hours

EnginePowerRating Information
*The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordancewith SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code
J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordancewith
SAEJ1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torquevalues are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given
both the wide array of products on which engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues applicableto operating the equipment, the gas engine will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment (actual "on-site" or net
power). This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine
variability. Dueto manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this
Series engine.

Standard Hardware Sizing
When a washer
or nut is identified
as 1/2", this is the
Nominal size, meaning the inside diameter is 1/2 inch; if a
second number is present it represent the threads per inch
When bolt or capscrew is identified as 1/2 - 16 x 2", this
means the Nominal size, or body diameter
is 1/2 inch; the
second number represents
the threads per inch (16 in this
example,
and the final number is the body length of the
bolt or screw (in this example 2 inches long).
The guides and ruler furnished
help you select the appropriate

et exclusions de garantie

Pendant une p@iode de deux (2) ans & compter de la date de rachat initial, B&S
garantit _. I'acheteur initial et & chaque acheteur suivant que le moteur est con£_u,
fabrique et _quip_ de maniere _._tre en conformite avec toutes les reglementations
applicables adoptees par I'Air Resources Board, qu'il est exempt de tout defaut de

Les r_clamations sous garantie seront pr_sentees selon les dispositions de la
police de garantie des moteurs de B&S. La garantie ne couvre pas les defaillances
de pieces liees aux emissions qui ne sont pas des pi_ces B&S d'origine ou les
defaillances de pi_ces qui ont fait I'objet d'abus, de n_gligence ou d'un mauvais

pas tenu de couvrir la garantie des defaillances des pieces liees aux emissions
dues 9. I'utilisation de pieces rajoutees ou modifiees.

Les moteurs qui sont certifies conformes & la norme d'_missions du California Air
Resources Board (CARB) doivent afficher I'infermatien cencernant la periede de
durabilit_ des _missions et I'indice d'air. Cette information est indiquee sur les _tiquettes
appos_es sur les moteurs par Briggs & Stratton. L'etiquette du moteur indique les
informations de certification.

Les moteurs Briggs & Stratton sont certifies conformes aux normes environnementales
d'emissions de la United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Phase 2.
Pour les moteurs certifies Phase 2, la periode de conformite d'_missions mentionnee sur
les etiquettes indique le nombre d'heures d'utilisation pour lequel le moteur est en
conformite avec les normes fed@ales.

La p@iode de durabilit_ dee _mieeions indique le nombre d'heures d'utilisation
normale pour lequel le moteur est certifi_ conforme aux normes d'emissions sous
r_serve d'un entretien approprie tel qu'indiqu_ dans le manuel d'utilisation et d'entretien.
Les categories suivantes sont utilisees:
Modern:
le moteur est certifie conforme pour 125heures d'utilisation normale.
Interm_diaire:
le moteur est certifie conforme pour 250heures d'utilisation normale.
I_tendu:

Pour les moteurs de cylindr_e inf@ieure _. 225cm3.
Categorie C = 125heures, categorie B = 250heures et cat_gorie A = 500heures.
Pour les moteurs de plus de 225cm3.
Categorie C = 250heures, categorie B = 500heures et cat_gorie A = 1000heures.

le meteur est certifie conferme pour 500heures d'utilisation nermale. Par exemple, une
tendeuse _.conducteur marchant classique est utilisee 20 & 25heures par an. Par
consequent, la p_riode de durabilit_ des _missione d'un moteur de cat_gorie
interm_diaire _quivaudrait _. une douzaine d'ann_es.

Inforrnations concernantla puissanceth_oriquedu moteur
*La puissance brute pour chaque Mo@le de moteur _ essenceest indiqu@ conformement au code 31940 (procedure de calcul de ia
puissance et du couple des petits moteurs) de la SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) et les performances theoriques ont ete obtenues
et corrig@s selon SAE J1995 (revision 2002-05). Les valeurs de couple sont calcul@s sur la base de 3060 tr/min et celles de puissance
sur la basede 3600 tr/min. La puissance brute reelle du moteur peut etre plus faible notamment _ cause des conditions de fonctionnement et des variations d'un moteur 9 I'autre. Compte tenu de la grande variete de machines sur lesquelles nos moteurs sont utilises et
du nombre de problemes environnementaux applicables au fonctionnement des equipements, il se peut que le moteur _ essencene
d@eloppe pas sa puissancetheorique une fois qu'il est monte dans une machine particuli@e(puissance nette ou reelle <>).
Cette difference s'explique par un grand nombre de facteurs, tels que les suivants (liste non limitative) : accessoires (filtre _ air, echappement, admission, refroidissement, carburateur, pompe 9 essence,etc.), limites d'utilisation, conditions ambiantes d'utilisation (temperature, humidite, altitude) et variations d'un moteur _ I'autre. Pour des raisons de fabrication et de capacite limit@s, Briggs & Stratton est
susceptible de remplacer ce Mo@le par un moteur plus puissant.
