• Remove accumulated debris from muffler area and cylinder area.
NOTICE Do not use water to clean the engine. Water could contaminate the fuel
system. Use a brush or dry cloth to clean the engine.
This is an air cooled engine. Dirt or debris can restrict air flow and cause the engine to
overheat, resulting in poor performance and reduced engine life.
Models With Cyclonic Air Filter System
See Figure: 18, 19
1. Use a brush or dry cloth to remove debris from the air intake area (A, Figure 18).
2. Keep linkage, springs and controls (B, Figure 18) clean.
3. Keep the area around and behind the muffler free of any combustible debris.
4. Make sure the oil cooler fins (C, Figure 18) are free of dirt and debris.
5. Loosen the fasteners (D, Figure 19) and remove the air intake grille (E). To access
all the fasteners, it may be necessary to remove fasteners (H) and air filter strap
(J). Pivot the air filter (K) to allow access to fastener.
6. Loosen the fasteners (F, Figure 19) and open the debris access panels (G).
Remove any grass and debris that has accumulated on the cylinders.
7. Close the debris access panels (G, Figure 19) and secure with the fasteners (F).
8. Install air filter strap (J, Figure 19) and secure with fasteners (H).
9. Install the air intake grille (E, Figure 18) and secure with the fasteners (D).
After a period of time, debris can accumulate in the cylinder cooling fins and cause the
engine to overheat. This debris cannot be removed without partial disassembly of the
engine. Have a Briggs & Stratton Authorized Dealer inspect and clean the air cooling
system as recommended in the Maintenance Schedule.
Models With Low Profile Air Filter System
See Figure: 20
1. Use a brush or dry cloth to remove debris from the air intake area (A, Figure 20).
2. Keep linkage, springs and controls (B, Figure 20) clean.
3. Keep the area around and behind the muffler free of any combustible debris.
4. Make sure the oil cooler fins (C, Figure 20) are free of dirt and debris.
5. Loosen the fasteners (D, Figure 20) and remove the air intake grille (E).
6. Remove any grass and debris that has accumulated on the cylinders.
7. Install the air intake grille (E, Figure 20) and secure with the fasteners (D).
After a period of time, debris can accumulate in the cylinder cooling fins and cause the
engine to overheat. This debris cannot be removed without partial disassembly of the

Storage
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When Storing Fuel Or Equipment With Fuel In Tank
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have
pilot lights or other ignition sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.
Fuel System
See Figure: 21
Store the engine level (normal operating position). Fill fuel tank (A, Figure 21) with fuel.
To allow for expansion of fuel, do not overfill above the fuel tank neck (B).
Fuel can become stale when kept in a storage container for more than 30 days. Each
time you fill the container with fuel, add STA-BIL 360°
specified by the manufacturer's instructions. This keeps fuel fresh and decreases fuel-
related problems or contamination in the fuel system.
It is not necessary to drain fuel from the engine when STA-BIL
®
360° PROTECTION™ is added as instructed. Before storage, turn the engine ON for 2
minutes to move the fuel and stabilizer through the fuel system.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained
into an approved container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a
fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.
Engine Oil
While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil. See the Change Engine Oil
section.

Engine power will decrease 3.5% for each 1,000 feet (300 meters) above sea level and
1% for each 10° F (5.6° C) above 77° F (25° C). The engine will operate satisfactorily
at an angle up to 15°. Refer to the equipment operator's manual for safe allowable
operating limits on slopes.

We recommend that you see any Briggs & Stratton Authorized Dealer for all

Power Ratings: The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is
labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 Small
Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995.
Torque values are derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with "rpm" called out on the
label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower 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, ambient operating conditions
and engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines
are placed, the gasoline 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 engine.
