Operating Safety
Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is misused, or
not properly maintained, it can be dangerous! Remember, you are
responsible for your safety and that of those around you.
Use common sense, and think through what you are doing. If you are
not sure that the task you are about to perform can be safely done
with the equipment you have chosen, ask a professional: contact your
local authorized dealer.
Read the Manual
The operator’s manual contains important safety information you need to
be aware of BEFORE you operate your unit as well as DURING operation.
Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s features and
controls, and maintenance information is included to help you get the
most out of your equipment investment.
Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Informatiofounthe
following pages. Also completely read the Operation section.
Children
Tragic accnts can occur with children. Do not allow them any-
where nearea of operation. Children are often attracted to the
unit mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain
whelast saw them. If there is a risk that children may enter
he area where you are mowing, have another responsible adult
watch them.
Slope Operation
You could be seriously injured or even led if you use this unit on
too steep an incline. Using the unit on a slope that is too steep or
where you don’t have adequate footing or traction can cause you to
lose control or slip and fall.
You should not operate on inclines with a slope greater than 10
degrees, which is a 3.5 ft (1,5 m) rise over 20.0 ft (6,0 m). Always
mow across slopes, never up and down.
3.5 ft
(1,5 m)
Also note that the surface you are mowing can greatly impact con-
trol. Wet grass or leaves can seriously affect your footing and trac-
tion on a slope.
20.0 ft
(6,0 m)
If you feel unsure about operating the unit on an incline, don’t do it.
It’s not worth the risk.

Debris Accumulation
Accumulation of grass and debris can result in a fire. Be sure to clean any
accumulation of grass and debris with a brush or cosed air, before
and after operation.
Fuel and Maintenance
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Its vapors are also extremely flam-
mable and can travel to distant ignition sources. Gasoline must only
be used as a fuel, not as a solvent or cleaner. It should never be
stored any place where its vapors can build up or travel to an ignition
source like a pilot light. Fuel belongs in an approved, plastic, sealed
gas can, or in the tractor fuel tank with the cap securely closed.
Spilled fuel needs to be cleaned up immediately.
Proper maintenance is critical to the safety and performance of your

Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection
system, fuel tank, ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses,
belts, connectors, sensors, and other emissions-related assemblies.
As the engine/equipment owner, you are responsible for the performance of the
required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. B&S recommends that you
retain all receipts covering maintenance on your engine/equipment, but B&S cannot
deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance
of all scheduled maintenance.
As the engine/equipment owner, you should however be aware that B&S may deny
you warranty coverage if your engine/equipment or a part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your engine/equipment to a B&S distribution
center, servicing dealer, or other equivalent entity, as applicable, as soon as a
problem exists. The 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 B&S at (414) 259-5262.
Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your engine/equipment at no cost
to you including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage:
Small off-road engines and large spark ignited engines less than or equal to 1.0 liter are
warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part on your engine/equipment is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S.
Briggs & Stratton Emissions Control Warranty Provisions
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emissions Control Warranty Coverage. It is in addition to the B&S engine warranty for non-regulated engines found in the
Operator’s Manual.
1. Warranted Emissions Parts
The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
Coverage under this warranty extends only to the parts listed below (the emissions
control systems parts) to the extent these parts were present on the B&S engine
and/or B&S supplied fuel system.
Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required

2. Length of Coverage
4. Claims and Coverage Exclusions
For a period of two years from date of original purchase, B&S warrants to tinal
purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is desbuilt, d
equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adoptethe ir
Resources Board; that it is free from defects in materiaworknship that could
cause the failure of a warranted part; and that it is idall material respects to
the engine described in the manufacturer’s applicatrtification. The warranty

Warranty claims shall be filed according to the provisions of the B&S engine
warranty policy. Warranty coverage does not apply to failures of emissions parts
that are not original equipment B&S parts or to parts that fail due to abuse, neglect,
or improper maintenance as set forth in the B&S engine warranty policy. B&S is not
liable for warranty coverage of failures of emissions parts caused by the use of
add-on or modified parts.
Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air Index Information
On Your Small Off-Road Engine Emissions Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) small
Briggs & Stratton engines are certified to meet the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 or Phase 3 emissions standards. 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 emissions
requirements.
off-road Emissions Standard must display information regarding the Emissions Durability
Period and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this information available to the
consumer on our emissions labels. The engine emissions 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:
For engines less than 225 cc displacement.
Category C = 125 hours, Category B = 250 hours, Category A = 500 hours
Moderate:
For engines of 225 cc or more displacement.
Category C = 250 hours, Category B = 500 hours, Category A = 1000 hours
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time.
Intermediate:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running time.
Extended:
Engine is certified to be emissions 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.

* Power Ratings: The gross power rar individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of
Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Smal Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been
obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; horse-
power values are derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM.
Net power values are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these
attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher than net engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambi-
ent operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines are placed, the
gas engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment. This difference is due
to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components (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.

Recomendaciones sobre combustible
El combustible debe cumplir los siguientes requisitos:
• Gasolina nueva y sin plomo con
Encendido del cortacésped
El motor de este cortacésped está equipado con un sistema
®
ReadyStart , que incorpora un estrangulador automático
• Un mínimo de 87 octanos/ 87AKI (90 RON).
controlado por temperatura. No dispone de un estrangulador
manual o un cebador.
• La gasolina con un máximo del 10% de etanol (gasohol) o
un máximo del 15% de MTBE (acetato de metileter de propi-
lenglicol).
• PRECAUCIÓN: NO utilice gasolinas no homologadas,
como es el caso de E85. No haga mezclas con la gasolina
ni realice modificaciones en el motor para hacerlo funcionar
con otros combustibles. Hacer tal cosa dañaría los compo-
nentes del motor y anularía la garantía del motor.

(C). Gire la llave para encender el motor.
3. Para detener el motor (y la cuchilla), libere el control de
la cuchilla.
4. Después de que arranque el motor, espere un poco a
que se caliente hasta que el motor funcione de manera
suave antes de poner en funcionamiento el cortacés-
ped.
El motor de este equipo está certificado para funcionar con
gasolina. El sistema de control de emisiones para este motor
es EM (Modificaciones de motores).
Altitud elevada
A altitudes superiores a los 1524 metros (5000 pies), se
puede utilizar una gasolina de 85 octanos/85 AKI (89 RON).
Para cumplir con la normativa sobre emisiones, es necesario
realizar un ajuste en altitudes elevadas. Si pone en funciona-
miento la máquina sin realizar este ajuste, el rendimiento de
la máquina disminuirá, aumentará el consumo de combusti-
ble y aumentarán las emisiones.
