Technical Information

Power Ratings: The power ratings for an individual engine model are initially developed by starting with SAE (Society of

Automotive 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 the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, it may be that the engine you have purchased will not develop the rated horsepower when used in a piece of power equipment (actual “on-site” power). This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the following: differences in altitude, temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, fuel, engine lubrication, maximum governed engine speed, individual engine to engine variability, design of the particular piece of power equipment, the manner in which the engine is operated, engine run-in to reduce friction and clean out of combustion chambers, adjustments to the valves and carburetor, and other factors. The power ratings may also be adjusted based on comparisons to other similar engines utilized in similar applications, and will therefore not necessarily match the values derived using the foregoing codes.

Emission Information

Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources

Board (CARB) Tier 2 Emission Standards must display information regarding the Emissions Durability Period and the

Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this information available to the consumer on our emission labels. The engine emission label will indicate certification information.

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

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 an engine with an

intermediate rating would equate to 10 to 12 years.

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

Category B = 250 hours

Category A = 500 hours

For engines of 225 cc or more displacement.

Category C = 250 hours

Category B = 500 hours

Category A = 1000 hours.

12

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will improve the performance and extend the life of the engine. See any Authorized Briggs

& Stratton Dealer for service. Use only genuine Briggs

& Stratton parts. Other parts may not perform as well, may damage the engine, and may result in

injury. In addition, use of other parts may void your warranty.

Emission Control

Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any nonroad engine repair establishment or

individual. However, to obtain no charge repairs under the terms and provisions of the Briggs & Stratton warranty statement, any service or emission control part repair or replacement must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

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).

• Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard object because the flywheel may later shatter during operation.

• Do not tamper with governor spring, links or other parts to increase engine speed.

Elsewhere in the United States, new non-road, spark-ignition engines certified for model year 1997 and later must meet similar standards set forth by the U.S. EPA. B&S must warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.

Your emission control system includes parts such as the carburetor, air cleaner, ignition system, fuel line, muffler and catalytic converter. Also included may be connectors and other emission related assemblies.

Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

Briggs & Stratton Emission Control Defects Warranty Coverage

Small off-road engines are warranted relative to emission control parts defects for a period of two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If any covered part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S.

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities

As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your

Operating and Maintenance Instructions. B&S recommends that you retain all your receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but B&S cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that B&S may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an Authorized B&S Service Dealer as soon as a problem exists.

The undisputed warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact a B&S Service

Representative at 1-414-259-5262.

The emission warranty is a defects warranty. Defects are judged on normal engine performance. The warranty is not related to an in-use emission test.

Briggs & Stratton Emission Control Defects Warranty Provisions

The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control Defects Warranty Coverage. It is in addition to the B&S engine warranty for non-regulated engines found in the Operating and Maintenance Instructions.

ABOUT YOUR ENGINE WARRANTY

Briggs & Stratton welcomes warranty repair and apologizes to you for being inconvenienced. Any

Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty would not apply if engine damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the serial number of the engine has been removed or the engine has been altered or modified.

If a customer differs with the decision of the Service

Dealer, an investigation will be made to determine whether the warranty applies. Ask the Service Dealer to submit all supporting facts to his Distributor or the

Factory for review. If the Distributor or the Factory decides that the claim is justified, the customer will be fully reimbursed for those items that are defective. To avoid misunderstanding which might occur between the customer and the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of engine failure that the warranty does not cover.

Normal wear:

Engines, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts service and replacement to perform well.

Warranty will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or an engine.

Improper maintenance:

The life of an engine depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives.

Some applications, such as tillers, pumps and rotary mowers, are very often used in dusty or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, spark plug cleaning grit, or other abrasive material that has entered the engine because of improper maintenance, is not covered by warranty.

This warranty covers engine related defective material and/or workmanship only, and not replacement or refund of the equipment to which the engine may be mounted. Nor does the warranty extend to repairs required because of:

1. PROBLEMS CAUSED BY PARTS THAT ARE

NOT ORIGINAL BRIGGS & STRATTON PARTS.

2. Equipment controls or installations that prevent starting, cause unsatisfactory engine performance, or shorten engine life. (Contact equipment manufacturer.)

3. Leaking carburetors, clogged fuel pipes, sticking valves, or other damage, caused by using contaminated or stale fuel. (Use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline and Briggs & Stratton Fuel

Stabilizer, Part No. 5041.)

4. Parts which are scored or broken because an engine was operated with insufficient or contaminated lubricating oil, or an incorrect grade of lubricating oil (check oil level daily or after every

8 hours of operation. Refill when necessary and change at recommended intervals.) OIL GARD ® may not shut down running engine. Engine damage may occur if oil level is not properly maintained. Read Operating & Maintenance

Instructions.

5. Repair or adjustment of associated parts or assemblies such as clutches, transmissions, remote controls, etc., which are not manufactured by Briggs & Stratton.

6. Damage or wear to parts caused by dirt, which entered the engine because of improper air cleaner maintenance, re-assembly, or use of a non-original air cleaner element or cartridge. (At recommended intervals, clean and re-oil the

Oil-Foam element or the foam pre-cleaner, and replace the cartridge.) Read Operating &

Maintenance Instructions.

7. Parts damaged by over-speeding, or overheating caused by grass, debris, or dirt, which plugs or clogs the cooling fins, or flywheel area, or damage caused by operating the engine in a confined area without sufficient ventilation. (Clean fins on the cylinder, cylinder head and flywheel at recommended intervals.) Read Operating &

Maintenance Instructions.

8. Engine or equipment parts broken by excessive vibration caused by a loose engine mounting, loose cutter blades, unbalanced blades or loose or unbalanced impellers, improper attachment of equipment to engine crankshaft, over-speeding or other abuse in operation.

9. A bent or broken crankshaft, caused by striking a solid object with the cutter blade of a rotary lawn mower, or excessive v-belt tightness.

10. Routine tune-up or adjustment of the engine.

11. Engine or engine component failure, i.e., combustion chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides, or burned starter motor windings, caused by the use of alternate fuels such as, liquified petroleum, natural gas, altered gasolines, etc.

Warranty is available only through service dealers which have been authorized by Briggs & Stratton

Corporation. your nearest Authorized Service

Dealer is listed in the “Yellow Pages ™” of your telephone directory under “Engines, Gasoline” or

“Gasoline Engines,” “Lawn Mowers,” or similar category.

Déclaration de garantie sur le système d’échappement pour la Californie, les Etats−Unis

Le California Air Resources Board (CARB), le Bureau américain de protection environnementale

(U.S. EPA) et B& S sont heureux d’expliquer la garantie sur le système d’échappement des petits moteurs hors−route de votre modèle 2000 et des années ultérieures (SORE). En Californie, les nouveaux petits moteurs hors route doivent être conçus, construits et équipés pour rencontrer les standards rigoureux d’antipollution. Ailleurs aux Etats−Unis, les nouveaux moteurs hors route à bougie d’allumage certifiés pour les modèles de 1997 et plus, doivent rencontrer des normes similaires mises de l’avant par le U.S. EPA. Briggs & Stratton garantit le système de contrôle d’échappement de votre moteur pour la période de temps mentionnée ci−contre, sauf s’il a fait l’objet d’abus, de négligence ou d’un entretien inapproprié.

Votre système de contrôle d’échappement comprend des pièces telles que le carburateur, le filtre à air, le système d’ignition, le silencieux et le convertisseur catalytique. Il peut aussi comprendre les connecteurs et autres pièces reliées à l’émission.

Couverture indirecte B&S garantit le propriétaire initial et tous les acheteurs subséquents que les pièces sous garantie sont exemptes de vice de matière ou de fabrication qui pourraient causer des défectuosités des pièces sous garantie pour une période de deux ans à partir de la date à laquelle le moteur a été livré à l’acheteur.

La couverture ci−contre s’étend à toute défectuosité des composantes du moteur causée par la défectuosité de n’importe quelle pièce couverte par la garantie et dont la garantie est encore en vigueur.

Consultez les informations sur la période de durabilité d’émission et l’INDICE d’air sur l’étiquette d’émission de votre moteur

Les moteurs qui sont certifiés conformes aux normes standards d’émission du California Air Resources Board (CARB) Tier 2, doivent afficher l’information concernant la période de durabilité du système d’émission et l’INDICE d’air. Cette information est indiquée sur les étiquettes apposées sur les moteurs par Briggs & Stratton. L’étiquette du moteur indiquera les renseignements concernant la certification.

La période de durabilité d’émission indique le nombre d’heures d’utilisation normale pour lequel le moteur est certifié conforme aux normes d’émission sous réserve d’un entretien approprié tel qu’indiqué dans le manuel d’opération et d’entretien. Les catégories suivantes sont utilisées :

Modéré le moteur est certifié conforme pour 125 heures d’utilisation normale.

Intermédiaire

Prolongé le moteur est certifié conforme pour 250 heures d’utilisation normale.

le moteur est certifié conforme pour 500 heures d’utilisation normale.

Par exemple, une tondeuse de modèle standard est utilisée environ 20 à 25 heures par année. Par conséquent, la période de durabilité d’émission d’un moteur dans la catégorie intermédiaire pour ce type de tondeuse équivaut à 10 à 12 ans.

L’indice d’air est un nombre qui décrit le niveau relatif d’émission pour une catégorie spécifique de moteur. Plus l’indice d’air est bas, plus le moteur est écologique. Cette information est indiquée sous une forme graphique sur l’étiquette d’émission.

À compter du 1

er

juillet 2000, surveillez la période de conformité d’émission sur les étiquettes

Après le 1 er juillet 2000, certains moteurs B&S seront certifiés conformes aux normes environnementales d’émission standard du United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) Phase 2. Pour les moteurs certifiés pour la Phase 2, la période de conformité d’émission mentionnée sur les étiquettes indique le nombre d’heures d’utilisation pour lequel le moteur rencontre les normes fédérales. Pour les moteurs de force moindre que 225 cc, la catégorie C = 125 heures, B = 250 heures et A = 500 heures. Pour les moteurs de 225 cc et plus, la catégorie C = 250 heures, B = 500 heures et A = 1000 heures.

Le remplacement du moteur portant le modèle de série 90000 est 148 cc. Le remplacement du moteur portant le modèle de série 100000 est 159 cc.

Ceci est une représentation des étiquettes d’émission que vous retrouverez sur les moteurs certifiés :
