THE POWER IN POWER EQUIPMENT

Thank you for selecting a Briggs & Stratton engine to power your equipment.

Briggs & Stratton is committed to producing a line of engines which will make your life’s chores easier to

perform. We have, at the same time, improved the design of our engines so they are environmentally

friendly. Since 1995, we have succeeded in reducing smog-forming exhaust emissions from our engines

by 70%. Briggs & Stratton’s efforts have not stopped there. We are also committed to designing and

introducing even cleaner engines in the future, while maintaining our reputation for excellent utility and

value.

Briggs & Stratton’s environmental awareness has resulted in the engineering of the “Smart-Fill” gas

can, featuring a spill resistant nozzle which opens only when fully inserted into the gas tank, and which

shuts off automatically when the tank is full. Because refueling spills can harm the environment, the

Smart-Fillcontainer helps preserve a stronger ecosystem by reducing this source of pollution.

We hope you will enjoy your new engine and equipment. We welcome you to our worldwide family of

Briggs & Stratton engine users.

Best Wishes Always,

The Employees of Briggs & Stratton Corporation

After July 1, 2000, Look For Emissions Compliance Period On

Engine Emissions Compliance Label

After July 1, 2000 certain Briggs & Stratton engines will be certified to meet the United States

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emission 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 emission requirements. For

engines less than 225 cc displacement, Category C = 125 hours, B = 250 hours and A = 500 hours. For

engines of 225 cc or more, Category C = 250 hours, B = 500 hours and A = 1000 hours.

The displacement of Model Series 190000 engines is 319 cc. The displacement of Model Series 250000

engines is 400 cc.

SAFETY

WARNING

Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable

and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

WHEN ADDING FUEL

•Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2

minutes before removing gas cap.

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

•Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to approximately

1-1/2 inches below top of neck to allow for fuel

expansion.

•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 air

cleaner are in place.

•Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.

•If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting

engine.

•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 which

causes gasoline to spill.

•Do not choke carburetor to stop engine.

WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT

•Transport with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shut-off

valve OFF.

WHEN STORING GASOLINE OR EQUIPMENT

WITH FUEL IN TANK

•Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or

other appliances that have pilot light or other

ignition source because they can ignite gasoline

vapors.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric

shock.

Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement,

traumatic amputation, or laceration.

BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS OR

REPAIRS

•Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from

spark plug.

•Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only

engines with electric start).

WHEN TESTING FOR SPARK

•Use approved spark plug tester.

Sparking can ignite nearby flammable gases.

Explosion and fire could result.

•If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not

start engine.

•Do not use pressurized starting fluids because

vapors are flammable.

SAFETY

WARNING

Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless,

colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea,

fainting or death.

•Start and run engine outdoors.

•Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if

doors or windows are open.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Engine parts,

especially muffler, become extremely hot.

Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.

Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush,

etc. can catch fire.

•Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool

before touching.

•Remove accumulated combustibles from muffler

area and cylinder area.

•Install and maintain in working order a spark

arrester before using equipment on forest-covered,

grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land.

The state of California requires this (Section 4442

of the California Public Resources Code). Other

states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply

on federal land.

WARNING

Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet,

hair, clothing, or accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can

result.

•Operate equipment with guards in place.

•Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

•Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

•Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling

drawstrings or items that could become caught.

WARNING

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand

and arm toward engine faster than you can let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could

result.

•When starting engine, pull cord slowly until

resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.

•Remove all external equipment/engine loads

before starting engine.

•Direct coupled equipment components such as,

but not limited to, blades, impellors, pulleys,

sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.
