FORWARD

This manual was written to assist engine technicians and service personnel with the repair and

maintenance procedures for Briggs & Stratton® engines. It assumes that persons using this manual have

been properly trained in and are familiar with the servicing procedures for these products, including the

proper use of required tools and safety equipment and the application of appropriate safety practices.

Persons untrained or unfamiliar with these procedures or products should not attempt to perform such

work.

Proper maintenance and repair is important to safe, reliable operation of all engines and engine-driven

systems. The troubleshooting, testing, maintenance, and repair procedures described in this manual are

appropriate for the Briggs & Stratton® engines described herein. Alternative methods or procedures may

pose risk to personal safety and the safety and/or reliability of the engine and are not endorsed or

recommended by Briggs & Stratton.

All information, illustrations, and specifications contained in this manual were based on the data available

at the time of publication. Briggs & Stratton Corporation reserves the right to change, alter, or otherwise

improve the product or the product manuals at any time without prior notice.

Briggs & Stratton offers two complementary publications to enhance understanding of engine technology,

maintenance, and repair. (Neither publication, however, is a substitution for a recognized training program

for engine technicians.)

• For consumers, Small Engine Care & Repair (p/n 274041) provides a comprehensive overview of how

small air-cooled engines work, basic troubleshooting, and step-by-step maintenance procedures.

• For engine technicians and consumers alike, an in-depth study of engine theory and operation can be

found in the textbook Small Engines (p/n CE8020).

Both publications can be purchased at BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM or through a local Authorized Briggs

& Stratton Service Dealer.

No part of this manual may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or

to cool before touching.

• Remove accumulated combustibles from muf-

fler area and cylinder area.

• It is a violation of California Public Resource

Code, Section 4442, to use or operate the

engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered,

or grass-covered land unless the exhaust sys-

tem is equipped with a spark arrester, as

defined in Section 4442, maintained in effective

working order. Other States and Federal juris-

dictions may have similar laws. Contact the

original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or

dealer to obtain spark arrester designed for the

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flam-

mable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe

burns or death.

When adding fuel:

• Turn engine OFF and let engine cool for at

least 2 minutes before removing the fuel

cap.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in a well-venti-

lated area.

• Do not overfill fuel tank. To allow for

expansion of the gasoline, do not fill above

the bottom of the fuel tank neck.

• Keep gasoline away from sparks, open

flames, pilot lights, heat and other ignition

sources.

• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings fre-

quently for cracks or leaks. Replace if nec-

essary.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before

starting engine.

When starting engine:

• Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap,

and air cleaner are in place.

• Do not crank engine with spark plug

removed.

OPEN/RUN position. Place throttle (if

equipped) in FAST and crank until engine

starts.

When operating equipment:

• Do not tip engine or equipment at an

angle which would cause fuel to spill.

• Do not choke carburetor to stop engine.

• Never start or run the engine with the air

cleaner assembly (if equipped) or the air

filter (if equipped) removed.

When changing oil:

• If you drain the oil from the top oil fill tube,

the fuel tank must be empty or fuel can

leak out and result in a fire or explosion.

When transporting equipment:

• Transport with fuel tank empty or with fuel

shut-off valve set to OFF.

When storing gasoline or equipment with

fuel in the tank:

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water

heaters, or other appliances that have a

pilot light or other ignition source because

they can ignite gasoline vapors.
