BeltService
On self-propelled mowers, the engine belt (A, Figure 34)
transmits power from the engine pulley (B) to the drive disc
(C). The drive disc powers the poly-v belt, which engages the
transmission that powers the rear wheels. Should these belts
become worn, they could cause slippage, which would
impair mower performance. The condition of the engine belt
and poly-v belt should be checked after every 25 hours of
mower operation.

Battery Testing
There are two types of battery tests: Unloaded and Loaded.
The unloaded test is the procedure that will be discussed. It's
the simplest and most commonly used. An unloaded test is
made on a battery without discharging current. To perform
unloaded testing, check charge condition using either a
hydrometer or voltmeter.
.

Using a voltmeter, voltage readings appear instantly to
show the state of charge. Rememberto hook the positive lead to the battery's positive terminal, and the negative lead to the negative terminal.
A hydrometer measuresthe specific gravity of each cell.
The specific gravity tells the degree of charge; generally,
a specific gravity of about 1.265 to 1.280 indicates full
charge. A reading of 1.230 to 1.260 indicates the battery
should be charged. The chart below shows the charge
level as measured by syringe float hydrometer, digital
voltmeter and five ball hydrometer.

EnginePower Rating 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). 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 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 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.
