SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride=On Mowers

DANGER: THiS CUTTING MACHINE iS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS. FAILURE

TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULTIN SERIOUS iNJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING: in order to prevent acci=

dental starting when setting up, trans-

porting, adjusting or making repairs,

always disconnect spark plug wire

and place wire where it cannot contact

spark plug.

WARNING: Do not coast down ahill

in neutral, you may lose control of the

tractor.

WARNING: Tow only the attachments

that are recommended by and comply

with specifications of the manufacturer

of your tractor. Use common sense

when towing. Operate only at the low-

est possible speed when on aslope.

Too heavy of a load, while on a slope,

is dangerous. Tires can lose traction

with the ground and cause you to lose

control of your tractor.

WARNING

Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and cer=

tain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals

known to the State of California to cause cancer and

birth defects or other reproductive harm.

•Do not operate machine without the entire grass catcher,

discharge chute, or other safety devices in place and

working.

•Slow down before turning.

•Never leave a running machine unattended. Always

turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and

remove keys before dismounting.

•Disengage blades when not mowing. Shut off engine

and wait for all parts to come to a complete stop before

cleaning the machine, removing the grass catcher, or

unclogging the discharge chute.

•Operate machine only in daylight or good artificial

light.

•Do not operate the machine while under the influence

of alcohol or drugs.

•Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing

roadways.

•Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine

into a trailer or truck.

•Always wear eye protection when operating ma-

chine.

•Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above,

are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-re-

lated injuries. These operators should evaluate their

ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to

protect themselves and others from serious injury.

•Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel

weights or counterweights.

•Keep machine free of grass , leaves or other debris

build-up which can touch hot exhaust/engine parts and

burn. Do not allow the mower deck to plow leaves or

other debris which can cause build-up to occur. Clean

any oil or fuel spillage before operating or storing the

machine. Allow machine to cool before storage.

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories

contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known

to the State of California to cause cancer and birth

defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands

after handling.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

•Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the

machine and in the manual before starting.

•Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under

the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at

all times.

•Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with

the instructions, to operate the machine.

•Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc.,

which could be picked up and thrown by the blades.

•Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operat-

ing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

•Never carry passengers.

•Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

Always look down and behind before and while backing.

•Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid

discharging material against a wall or obstruction.

Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop

the blades when crossing gravel surfaces.

ft. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and

tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or

death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If

you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it,

do not mow it.

•Mow up and down slopes, not across.

•Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden

objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.

Tall grass can hide obstacles.

•Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have

to stop or shift while on the slope.

•Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.

Always keep the machine in gear when going down

slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

•Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the

tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed

slowly straight down the slope.

•Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.

Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction,

which could cause the machine to roll over.

•Use extra care while operating machine with grass

catchers or other attachments; they can affect the

stability of the machine. Do no use on steep slopes.

•Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot

on the ground.

•Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.

The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel is over

the edge or if the edge caves in.

SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride=On Mowers &

ill. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to

the presence of children. Children are often attracted to

the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that

children will remain where you last saw them.

•Keep children out ofthe mowing area and inthe watchful

care of a responsible adult other than the operator.

Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the

area.

• Before and while backing, look behind and down for

small children.

• Never carry children, even with the blades shut off. They

may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with

safe machine operation. Children who have been given

rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing

area for another ride and be run over or backed over

by the machine.

• Never allow children to operate the machine.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may block your view of a

child.

IV. TOWING

• Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for

towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the

hitch point.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight

limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.

• Never allow children or others in or on towed equip-

ment.

• On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may

cause loss of traction and loss of control.

• Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

V. SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme

care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable

and the vapors are explosive.

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other

sources of ignition.

• Use only approved gasoline container.

• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine

running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.

• Never fuel the machine indoors.

• Never store the machine or fuel container where there

is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water

heater or other appliances.

• Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or

trailer bed with plastic liner. Always place containers

on the ground away from your vehicle when filling.

• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or

trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,

then refuel such equipment with a portable container,

rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or

container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi-

ately.

• Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten

securely.

GENERAL

•Never operate machine in a closed area.

Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment

is in safe working condition.

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper

operation regularly.

Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris

build-up. Clean oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel-

soaked debris. Allow machine to cool before storing.

If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the

machine. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine

running.

Check grass catcher components and the discharge

chute frequently and replace with manufacturer's rec-

ommended parts, when necessary.

Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear

gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service

as required.

Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as

necessary.

OPERATION

The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result

in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your tractor or

performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend awide vision safety mask over spectacles

or standard safety glasses.

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR

TO SET PARKING BRAKE (See Fig. 7)

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens-

ing switch. When engine is running, any attempt by the

operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking

brake will shut off the engine.

•Depress clutch/brake pedal (B) all the way down and

hold.

Pull parking brake lever (C) up and hold, release pres-

sure from clutch/brake pedal (B), then release parking

brake lever. Pedal should remain in brake position.

Make sure parking brake will hold tractor secure.

•Turn ignition key (F) to "STOP" position and remove

key. Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent

unauthorized use.

•Never use the choke to stop the engine.

IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ANY

POSITION OTHER THAN "STOP" WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY

TO DISCHARGE AND GO DEAD.

NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing

idle with the engine running, hot engine exhaust gases may

cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate this possibility, al-

ways stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

_I CAUTION: Always stop tractor corn=

pleteiy, as described above, and set

parking brake before leaving the opera=

tot's position.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (D)

(See Fig. 9)

Always operate engine at full speed (fast).

•Operating engine at less than full speed (fast) reduces

engine's operating efficiency.

•Full speed (fast) offers the best mower performance.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD

(See Fig. 10)

The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the

motion control lever. (J)

•Start tractor with motion control lever in neutral position.

•Release parking brake.

•Slowly move motion control lever to desired position.

1 1 Fig. 10

OPERATION

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

(See Fig. 11)

The position of the attachment lift lever (A) determines the

cutting height.

Fig. 11

• Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting height slot.

The cutting height range is approximately 1" to 4". The

heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with

the engine not running. These heights are approximate and

may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of grass

and types of grass being mowed.

• The average lawn should be cut to approximately

2-1/2" during the cool season and to over 3" during hot

months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow

often and after moderate growth.

• For best cutting performance, grass over 6" in height

should be mowed twice. Make the first cut relatively

high; the second to desired height.

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 12)

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly

off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height

in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck

in proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain

conditions.

NOTE:Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level

surface.

• Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See "TO AD-

JUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT" in the Operation

section of this manual).

• With mower in desired height of cut position, gauge

wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off

the ground. Install gauge wheel in appropriate hole as

shown and tighten securely.

• Repeat for opposite side installing gauge wheel in same

adjustment hole.

Fig. 12

TO OPERATE MOWER

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing

switch. Any attempt by the operator to leave the seat with

the engine running and the attachment clutch engaged will

shut off the engine. You must remain fully and centrally

positioned in the seat to prevent the engine from hesitat-

ing or cutting off when operating your equipment on rough,

rolling terrain or hills.

• Select desired height of cut (see"TO ADJUST MOWER

CUTTING HEIGHT")

• Start mower blades by engaging attachment clutch

control.

TO STOP MOWER BLADES

Disengage attachment clutch control.

CAUTION: Do not operate the mower

without either the entire grass catcher, on

mowers so equipped, orthe deflector shield

(S) in place (See Fig. 13).

12

Fig. 13

TO TRANSPORT (See Figs. 14)

When pushing or towing your tractor, be sure to disengage

transmission by placing freewheel control in freewheeling

position. Free wheel control is located at the rear of tractor.

• Raise attachment liftto highest position with attachment

lift control.

• Pull freewheel control out and intothe slot and release

so it is held in the disengaged position.

• Do not push or tow tractor at more than two (2) MPH.

• To reengage transmission, reverse above procedure.

NOTE: To protect hood from damage when transporting

your tractor on a truck or a trailer, be sure hood is closed

and secured to tractor. Use an appropriate means of tying

hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).

OPERATION

TOWING CARTS & OTHER ATTACHMENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and

comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your trac-

tor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a load,

while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with

the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.

REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)

Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System

(ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse

direction with the attachment clutch engaged will shut offthe

engine unless ignition key is placed inthe ROS "ON" position.

,di_,WARNING: Backing up with the attachment clutch en-

gaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the

ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment

clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator

decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the

attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless

absolutely necessary.

USING THE REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (See Fig, 15)

Only use if you are certain no children or other bystanders

will enter the mowing area.

• Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position.

• With engine running, turn ignition key counterclockwise

to ROS "ON" position.

• Look down and behind before and while backing.

• Slowly move motion control lever to reverse (R) posi-

tion to start movement.

•When use of the ROS is no longer needed, turn the

ignition key clockwise to engine "ON" position.

factory, already filled with summer weight oil.

• Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.

• Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the

dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds,

remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until

"FULE' mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.

• For cold weather operation you should change oil for

easier starting (See "OIL VISCOSITY CHART" in the

Maintenance section of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in

this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill. Use

fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with aminimum

of 87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase

carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life).

Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities

that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.

CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline

near an open flame.

iMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING INTEMPERATURES BELOW

32°F (0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GASOLINE

TO HELP ENSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER STARTING.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol

or using ethanol or methanol) can attract tools=

ture which leads to separation and formation of

acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage

the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To

avoid engine problems, the fuel system should

be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer.

Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run

until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use

fresh fuel next season. See Storage instructions

for additional information. Never use engine or

carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or

permanent damage may occur.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 6)

When starting the engine for the first time or if the engine

has run out of fuel, it will take extra cranking time to move

fuel from the tank to the engine.

• Be sure freewheel control is in the transmission engaged

position.

• Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake

pedal and set parking brake.

• Place motion control lever in neutral position.

• Move attachment clutch to "DISENGAGED" position.

• Move throttle control to choke position.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting

procedures that follow.

OPERATION

Insert key into ignitionandturn key clockwise to "START"

position and release key as soon as engine starts.

Do not run starter continuously for more than fifteen

seconds per minute. If the engine does not start after

several attempts, move throttle control to fast position,

wait a few minutes and try again. If engine still does

not start, move the throttle control back to the choke

position and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F/10°C and above)

•When engine starts, move the throttle control to the

fast position.

• The attachments and ground drive can now be used. If

the engine does not accept the load, restart the engine

and allow itto warm up for one minute using the choke

as described above.

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F/10°C and below)

•When engine starts, allow engine to run with the throttle

control in the choke position until the engine runs roughly,

then move throttle control to fast position. This may

require an engine warm-up period from several seconds

to several minutes, depending on the temperature.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

•Before driving the unit in cold weather, the transmission

should be warmed up as follows:

• Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

• Place the motion control lever in neutral. Release

the parking brake and let the clutch/brake slowly

return to operating position.

• Allow one minute for transmission to warm up. This

can be done during the engine warm up period.

• Theattachmentscanalso beusedduringtheenginewarm-

up period after the transmission has been warmed up.

NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold

temperatures (below 32 ° F) the carburetor fuel mixture may

need to be adjusted for best engine performance. See "TO

ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual.

PURGE TRANSMISSION

CAUTION: Never engage or disengage I

freewheelleverwhiletheengineisrunning.

To ensure proper operation and performance, it is recom-

mended that the transmission be purged before operating

tractor for the first time. This procedure will remove any

trapped air inside the transmission which may have devel-

oped during shipping of your tractor.

IMPORTANT: SHOULD YOUR TRANSMISSION REQUIRE

REMOVAL FOR SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT, IT SHOULD

BE PURGEDAFTER REINSTALLATIONBEFOREOPERATING

THE TRACTOR.

1. Place tractor safely on a level surface - that is clear

and open - with engine off and parking brake set.

2. Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control

in freewheeling position (See "TO TRANSPORT" in

this section of manual).

3. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine

is running, move throttle control to slow position. With

motion control lever in neutral position, slowly disengage

clutch/brake pedal.

14

may be movement of the drive wheels.

4. Move motion control lever to full forward position and

hold for five (5) seconds. Move lever to full reverse

position and hold for five (5) seconds. Repeat this

procedure three (3) times.

5. Move motion control lever to neutral position. Shut- off

engine and set parking brake.

6. Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in

engaged position (See "TO TRANSPORT" in this sec-

tion of manual).

7. Sitting inthe tractor seat, start engine. After the engine

is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed.

With motion control lever in neutral position, slowly

disengage clutch/brake pedal.

8. Slowly move motion control lever forward, after the

tractor moves approximately five (5) feet, slowly move

motion control lever to reverse position. After the trac-

tor moves approximately five (5) feet return the motion

control lever to the neutral position. Repeat this proce-

dure with the motion control lever three (3) times.

Your transmission is now purged and now ready for normal

operation.

MOWING TIPS

• Tire chains cannot be used when the mower housing

is attached to tractor.

•Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing

performance. See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in

the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

•The left hand side ofmower should be used for trimming.

•Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area

that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of

the tractor. This will result in a more even distribution

of clippings and more uniform cutting.

•When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right

so that clippings will discharge away from shrubs,

fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow

in the opposite direction making left hand turns until

finished (See Fig. 16).

f

lr

(

Fig. 16

•Ifgrassisextremelytall, itshouldbe mowedtwiceto reduce

load and possible fire hazard from dried clippings. Make

first cut relatively high; the second to the desired height.

•Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug

mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to

dry before mowing.

•Always operate engine at full throttle when mow=

ing to assure better mowing performance and proper

discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by

selecting a low enough gear to give the mower cutting

performance as well as the quality of cut desired.

•When operating attachments, select a ground speed

that will suit the terrain and give best performance of

the attachment being used.

explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame and

smoking materials away from batteries.

Always wear eye protection when around

batteries.

If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be

recharged. (See "BATTERY" in the MAINTENANCE sec-

tion of this manual).

If "jumper cables" are used for emergency starting, follow

this procedure:

iMPORTANT: YOUR TRACTOR IS EQUIPPED WITH A 12

VOLT SYSTEM. THE OTHER VEHICLE MUST ALSO BE A 12

VOLT SYSTEM. DO NOT USE YOUR TRACTOR BATTERYTO

START OTHER VEHICLES.

STORAGE

Immediately prepare your tractor for storage at the end

of the season or if the tractor will not be used for 30 days

or more.

WARNING: Never store the tractor with

gasoline in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open flame

or spark. AIIowthe engineto cool before

storing in any enclosure.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractor for winter storage. When mower

isto be stored for a period oftime, clean itthoroughly, remove

all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.

•Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING" in the

Maintenance section of this manual).

•Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt

replacement instructionsin the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual).

•Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this

manual.

•Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely

fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage

and wear. Replace if necessary.

•Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand

lightly before painting.

BATTERY

•Fully charge the battery for storage.

•After a period of time in storage, battery may require

recharging.

•To help prevent corrosion and power leakage during

long periods of storage, battery cables should be

disconnected and battery cleaned thoroughly (see

"TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS" in the

Maintenance section of this manual).

•After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place

cables where they cannot come in contact with battery

terminals.

•If battery is removed from tractor for storage, do not

store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANTTO PREVENTGUM DEPOSITS

FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH

AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK

DURING STORAGE. ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT

ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING

ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH

LEADS TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OFACIDS DURING

STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM

OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

•Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and let it run

until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

•Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in

the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

•Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in

minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.

Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.

Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.

Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to

allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty

the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine oil.

(See "ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of this manual).

CYLINDER(S)

•Remove spark plug(s).

•Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into

cylinder(s).

•Turn ignitionkey to "START" position for a few seconds

to distribute oil.

•Replace with new spark plug(s).

OTHER

•Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

•Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.

Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.

•If possible, store your tractor indoors and cover it to

give protection from dust and dirt.

•Cover your tractor with a suitable protective cover that

does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic

cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and

will cause your tractor to rust.

IMPORTANT: NEVERCOVERTRACTORWHILE ENGINEAND

EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.

Engine Power Rating Information

The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive En-

gineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and

corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torque values 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 operat-

ing conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given both the wide array of products on which engines are placed and

the variety of environmental issues applicable to 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.

Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this

Series engine.
