The Power That Works For You.

Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period andAir Index Information On Your Engine Emissions Label

Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Tier 2 Emission Standards must display information regaing the Emissions Durability Period and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this information available to the consumer on our emisslabels.

The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running time for which the engine is certified to be emisscompliant, assuming proper maintenance in accordance with the Operating & Maintenance Instructions. The following categoriesused:

Moderate: Engine is certified to be emission compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time.

Intermediate: Engine is certified to be emission compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running time.

Extended: Engine is certified to be emission 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 Emissions Durability Period of angine with an intermediate rating would equate to 10 to 12 years.

The Air Index is a calculated number describing the relative level of emissions for a specific engine family. The lower the Air Indexcleaner the engine. This information is displayed in graphical form on the emissions label.

After July 1, 2000, Look For Emissions Compliance Period OnEngine Emissions Compliance Label

After July 1, 2000 certain Briggs & Stratton engines will be certified to meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPhase 2 emission standards. For Phase 2 certified engines, the Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions Complialabel indicates the number of operating hours for which the engine has been shown to meet Federal emission requirements. For engless than 225 cc displacement, Category C = 125 hours, B = 250 hours and A = 500 hours. For engines of 225 cc or more, CategC = 250 hours, B = 500 hours and A = 1000 hours.

The displacement engines of Model Series 210000 is 344 cc, 280000 is 465 cc, 310000 engines is 501 cc.

SAFETY

Gasoline and its vapors are extremelyflammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burnsor death.

WARNING

WHEN ADDING FUEL

• Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2minutes before removing gas cap.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.

• Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to approximately1-1/2 inches below top of neck to allow for fuelexpansion.

• Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames,pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently

for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.

WHEN STARTING ENGINE

• Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and aircleaner are in place.

• Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before startingengine.

• If engine floods, set choke to OPEN/RUN position,place throttle in FAST and crank until engine starts.

WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT

• Do not tip engine or equipment at angle whichcauses gasoline to spill.

• Do not choke carburetor to stop engine.

WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT

• Transport with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shut-offvalve OFF.

WHEN STORING GASOLINE OR EQUIPMENTWITH FUEL IN TANK

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or

other appliances that have pilot light or otherignition source because they can ignite gasolinevapors.

Starting engine creates sparking.

Sparking can ignite nearby flammablgases.

Explosion and fire could result.

WARNING

• If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do start engine.

• Do not use pressurized starting fluids becauvapors are flammable.

WARNING

• When starting engine, pull cord slowly unresistance is felt, then pull rapidly.

• Remove all external equipment/engine loadbefore starting engine.

• Direct coupled equipment components such a

but not limited to, blades, impellors, pulleysprockets, etc., must be securely attached.

• Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to coolbefore touching.

• Remove accumulated combustibles from mufflerarea and cylinder area.

• Install and maintain in working order a sparkarrester before using equipment on forest-covered,grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land.The state of California requires this (Section 4442of the California Public Resources Code). Otherstates may have similar laws. Federal laws apply

on federal land.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire oelectric shock.

Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation, or laceration.

BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS OREPAIRS

• Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away frospark plug.

• Disconnect battery at negative terminal (onengines with electric start).

WHEN TESTING FOR SPARK• Use approved spark plug tester.

• Do not check for spark with spark plug removed

ENGINE INFORMATION

TECHNICAL INFORMATIONPOWER RATINGS: The power ratings for an individual enginemodel are initially developed by starting with SAE (Society ofAutomotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power &Torque Rating Procedure) (Revision 2002-05). Given both the

wide array of products on which our engines are placed, and thevariety of environmental issues applicable to operating theequipment, it may be that the engine you have purchased will notdevelop the rated horsepower when used in a piece of powerequipment (actual “on-site” power). This difference is due to avariety of factors including, but not limited to, the following:

differences in altitude, temperature, barometric preshumidity, fuel, engine lubrication, maximum governed enspeed, individual engine to engine variability, design oparticular piece of power equipment, the manner in which

engine is operated, engine run-in to reduce friction and cleaof combustion chambers, adjustments to the valves carburetor, and other factors. The power ratings may alsadjusted based on comparisons to other similar engines utin similar applications, and will therefore not necessarily matcvalues derived using the foregoing codes.
