Maintenance Information

WARNING
During maintenance if it is necessary to tilt the unit, make
sure that the fuel tank, if mounted on the engine, is empty and
that the spark plug side is up. If the fuel tank is not empty,
leakage can occur and could result in a fire or an explosion.
If the engine is tilted in a different direction, it will not easily
start because of oil or fuel contamination of the air filter or the
spark plug.
We recommend that you see any Briggs & Stratton
Authorized Service Dealer for all maintenance and service of
the engine and engine parts.
NOTICE
All the components used to build this engine must remain in
place for correct operation.
WARNING
Accidental engine spark can cause an electric shock
or fire and could result in entanglement, traumatic
amputation or laceration.
Before you make adjustments or repairs:
• Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the
spark plug.
• Disconnect the battery wire from the negative battery
terminal (only engines with electric start.)
• Use only the correct tools.
When you check for spark:
• Use an approved spark plug tester.
• Do not check for spark with the spark plug removed.
Emissions Control Service
For maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions
control devices and systems, contact a qualified off-
road engine repair establishment or service technician.
However, for "no charge" emissions control service, the work
must be done by a factory authorized dealer. Refer to the
Emissions Control Statements.

NOTICE
The equipment manufacturer specifies the maximum speed

this speed. If you are not sure what the equipment maximum

contact a Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealer for
assistance. For safe and correct operation of the equipment,
the engine speed should only be adjusted by a qualified
service technician.
Service Engine Exhaust
WARNING
During operation, the engine and muffler become hot. If
you touch a hot engine, thermal burns can occur.
Combustible materials, such as leaves, grass and brush,
can catch fire.
• Before you touch the engine or muffler, stop the engine and
wait two (2) minutes. Make sure that the engine and muffler
are safe to touch.
• Remove debris from the muffler and engine.
