The Power That Works For You.

Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air Index Informa-tion On Your Engine Emissions Label

Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Tier 2 Emission Standards mustdisplay information regarding the Emissions Durability Period and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes thisinformation available to the consumer on our emission labels. The engine emission label will indicate certificationinformation.

The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running time for which the engine iscertified 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 EmissionsDurability Period of an engine with an intermediate rating would equate to 10 to 12 years.

The Air Index is a calculated number describing the relative level of emissions for a specific engine family. Thelower the Air Index, the cleaner the engine. This information is displayed in graphical form on the emissionslabel.

After July 1, 2000, Look For Emissions Compliance Period OnEngine Emissions Compliance Label

After July 1, 2000 certain Briggs & Stratton engines will be certified to meet the United States EnvironmentalProtection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emission standards. For Phase 2 certified engines, the EmissionsCompliance Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance label indicates the number of operating hours forwhich the engine has been shown to meet Federal emission requirements. For engines less than 225 ccdisplacement, Category C = 125 hours, B = 250 hours and A = 500 hours. For engines of 225 cc or more,Category C = 250 hours, B = 500 hours and A = 1000 hours.

The displacement of Model Series 420000 engines is 694 cc. The displacement of Model Series 460000 enginesis 745 cc.

SAFETY

Gasoline and its vapors are extremelyflammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burnsor death.

WARNING

WHEN ADDING FUEL• Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2

minutes before removing gas cap.• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.• Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill tank to approximately

1-1/2 inches below top of neck to allow for fuelexpansion.

• Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames,pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequentlyfor cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.

WHEN STARTING ENGINE• Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air

cleaner are in place.• Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting

engine.• If engine floods, set choke to OPEN/RUN position,

place throttle in FAST and crank until engine starts.

WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT• Do not tip engine or equipment at angle which

causes gasoline to spill.• Do not choke carburetor to stop engine.

WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT• Transport with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shut-off

valve OFF.

WHEN STORING GASOLINE OR EQUIPMENTWITH FUEL IN TANK• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or

other appliances that have pilot light or otherignition source because they can ignite gasolinevapors.

Starting engine creates sparking.

Sparking can ignite nearby flammablegases.

Explosion and fire could result.

WARNING

• If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do notstart engine.

• Do not use pressurized starting fluids becausevapors are flammable.

WARNING

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) willpull hand and arm toward engine faster thanyou can let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprainscould result.

• When starting engine, pull cord slowly untilresistance is felt, then pull rapidly.

• Remove all external equipment/engine loadsbefore starting engine.

• Direct coupled equipment components such as,but not limited to, blades, impellors, pulleys,sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.

SAFETY

Engines give off carbon monoxide, anodorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can causenausea, fainting or death.

WARNING

• Start and run engine outdoors.• Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if

doors or windows are open.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Engineparts, especially muffler, become extremelyhot.

Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.

Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass,brush, etc. can catch fire.

• Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to coolbefore touching.

• Remove accumulated combustibles from mufflerarea and cylinder area.

• Install and maintain in working order a sparkarrester before using equipment on forest-covered,grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land.The state of California requires this (Section 4442of the California Public Resources Code). Otherstates may have similar laws. Federal laws applyon federal land.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire orelectric shock.

Unintentional start-up can result in en-tanglement, traumatic amputation, or lac-eration.

BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS ORREPAIRS• Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from

spark plug.• Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only

engines with electric start).

WHEN TESTING FOR SPARK• Use approved spark plug tester.• Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.

ENGINE INFORMATION

TECHNICAL INFORMATIONPOWER RATINGS: The power ratings for an individual enginemodel are initially developed by starting with SAE (Society of Auto-motive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & TorqueRating Procedure) (Revision 2002-05). Given both the wide arrayof products on which our engines are placed, and the variety of en-vironmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, it maybe that the engine you have purchased will not develop the ratedhorsepower 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, tempera-

ture, barometric pressure, humidity, fuel, engine lubrication, maxi-mum governed engine speed, individual engine to engine variabil-ity, design of the particular piece of power equipment, the mannerin which the engine is operated, engine run-in to reduce frictionand clean out of combustion chambers, adjustments to the valvesand carburetor, and other factors. The power ratings may also beadjusted based on comparisons to other similar engines utilizedin similar applications, and will therefore not necessarily match thevalues derived using the foregoing codes.
