TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Engine Power Rating Information
The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is
labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive
Engineers) code J1940 (Small 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; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. Actual
gross engine power will be lower and is affected by, among
other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-en-
gine variability. Given both the wide array of products on
which engines are placed and the variety of environmental
issues applicable to operating the equipment, the gas
engine will not develop the rated gross power when used in
a given piece of power equipment (actual on-site" or net
power). This difference is due to a variety of factors
including, but not limited to, accessories (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.
DESIGNED FOR
FRESHWATER USE
CAUTION: Salt water is extremely
corrosive to outboard components.
Failure or damage related to salt water
corrosion is NOT covered under the
Briggs & Stratton limited warranty.
• Every operator should read and understand the entire
Operating & Maintenance Instructions AND the
instructions for the boat this engine powers.
• Failure to follow instructions could result in serious
injury or death.
• Use the safety and operating instructions to help
avoid damage and injury.
5 H.P.
• Briggs & Stratton recommends the completion of a
boater safety course. Contact the U.S. Coast Guard

OPERATOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
• Remember the operator of the boat is responsible for the
safety of the boat, its occupants and the public.
• At least one person on board other than the operator
should be familiar with the basic starting and operating
procedures in the event the operator becomes incapable
of safely operating the boat.
• Every person on board must wear and use a U.S. Coast
Guard approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD).
• The safety lanyard MUST be properly connected to the
safety/engine stop switch and to the operator BEFORE
using the outboard.
• Learn and always obey all federal, state, and local laws,
ordinances and U.S. Coast Guard regulations.
• Serious injury is possible if a person in the water makes
contact with a moving boat, gear housing, propeller or
any other solid device rigidly attached to the boat or
housing. The operator MUST make the boat safe to use
for all occupants.
WARNING
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
SAFETY
The safety alert symbol is used to identify
safety information about hazards that can result in
personal injury.
A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION) is used
with the alert symbol to indicate the likelihood and the potential
severity of injury. In addition, a hazard symbol may be used to
represent the type of hazard.
DANGER indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,
might result in minor or moderate injury.
,
CAUTION
when used without the alert symbol,
indicates a situation that could result in damage to
the engine.
