DON’T OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR

Capacity

You must make sure your generator can supply enough rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will power .at the same time. Follow these simple steps:

1. Select the items you will power at the same time.
2. Total the rated (running) watts of these items.T his is the amount of power your generator must produce to keep your ite.ms running. See Figure 8.
3. Estimate How many surge (starting) watts you will need. Surge wattage is the short burst of power needed to start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a circular saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start at the same time, total surge watts can be estimated by adding only the item(s) with the highest additional surge watts to the total rated watts from step 2.
   EXAMPLE:

Power Management

To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to your generator. There should be nothing connected to the generator outlets before starting it’s engine. The correct and safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially add loads as follows:

1. With nothing connected to the generator, start the engine as described in this manual.
2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest load you have.
3. Permit the. generator output to stabilize (engine runs smoothly and the attached device operates properly.
4. Plug in and turn on the next load.
5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.

NEVER add more loads than the generator capacity. Take special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity, as described above.

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite gasoline va ors.

Starting engine creates sparking.
Sparking can ignite nearby flammable gases.
Explosion and fire could result.

• If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not start engine.
• Do not use pressurized starting fluids because vapors are flammable.

Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or death.

• Start and run engine outdoors.
• Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open.\

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.

• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
• Remove all external equipment/engine loads before starting engine.
• Direct coupled equipment components such as, but not limited to, blades, impellors, pulleys, sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.

Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories
Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result

• Operate equipment with guards in place.
• Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
• Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or items that could become caught.

WARNING
Briggs & Stratton does not approve or authorize the use of these engines on All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), fun/recre­ational go-karts, motor bikes, aircraft products or vehicles in­tended for use in competitive events. Use of these engines in such applications could result in property damage, serious injury (including paralysis), or even death.

WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially mufiler, become ex tremely hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur on con- tact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.

• Allow the muffler, engine cylinder, and fins to cool before touching.
• Remove accumulated combustibles from the muffler area and cylinder area.
• Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before using equipment on forest-cov­ered, grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land. The state of California requires this (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal land.

WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.
An unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation, or laceration.

BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS

• Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from spark plug.
• Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only engines wtth electric start).

WHEN TESTING FOR SPARK

• Use an approved spark plug tester.
• Do not check for spark with the spark plug removed.

Technical Information

Power Ratings

The power ratings for an individual engine model are initially developed by starting with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure) (Revision 2002-05). Given both the wide array of products on which our engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, it may be that the engine you have purchased will not develop the rated horsepower 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, temperature, baromet­ric pressure, humidity, fuel, engine lubrication, maxi­mum governed engine speed, individual engine to engine variability, design of the particular piece of power equipment, the manner in which the engine is operated, engine run-in to reduce friction and clean out of combustion chambers, adjustments to the valves and carburetor, and other factors. The power ratings may also be adjusted based on comparisons to other similar engines utilized in similar applications, and will therefore not necessarily match the values derived using the foregoing codes.

Look For Relevant Emission Durability Period and Air Index Information On Your Engine Emission Label

Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (GARB) Tier 2 Emission Standards must display information regarding the Emissions Dura­bility Period and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this information available to the consumer on our emis­sion labels. The engine label will indicate certification information.
The Emission Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running time for which the engine is certified to be emission 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 Emission Durability Period of an engine with an intermediate rating would equate to 1 o to 12 years.
The Air Index is a calculated number describing the relative level of emission for a specific engine family. The lower the Air Index, the cleaner the engine. This information is displayed in graphical form on the emission label.
In the state of California, the 120000 series engines covered in this manual are certified by the California Air Resources Board to meet emissions standards for 125 hours. Such certification does not grant the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any additional warranties with respect to the performance or operational life of this engine. This engine is warranted solely according to the product and emissions warranties stated elsewhere in this manual.

After July 1, 2000, Look For Emissions Compliance Period On Engine Emission Compliance Label

After July 1, 2000 certain Briggs & Stratton engines will be certified to meet the United States Environmental Protec­tion Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emission standards. For Phase 2 certified engines, 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 emission requirements. For engines less than 225 cc displacement, 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 110000 engines is 190cc. The displacement of Model Series 120000 en­gines is 206cc. The displacement of Model Series 200000 engines is 305cc. The displacement of Model Series 210000 engines is 342cc.

ABOUT YOUR ENGINE WARRANTY

Briggs & Stratton welcomes warranty repair and apologizes to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty repairs are han­dled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty would not apply if engine damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the serial number of the engine has been removed or the engine has been altered or modified.
If a customer differs with the decision of the Service Dealer, an investigation will be made to determine whether the warranty applies. Ask the Service Dealer to submit all supporting facts to his Distributor or the Factory for review. If the Distributor or the Factory decides that the claim is justified, the customer will be – fully reimbursed for those items that are defective. To avoid mis­understanding which might occur between the customer and the Dealer, listed below are some oflhe causes of engine failure that the warranty does not cover.
Normal wear:
Engines, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts service and replacement to perform well. Warranty will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or an engine.

Improper maintenance:
The life of an engine depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Some applications, such as 6. tillers, pumps and rotary mowers, are very often used in dusty or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, spark plug cleaning grit, or other abrasive material that has entered the engine be­cause of improper maintenance, is not covered by warranty. This warranty covers engine-related defective material and/ or workmanship QD]y, and not replacement or refund of the equipment to which the engine may be mounted. Nor does the warranty extend to repairs required because of:

1. PROBLEMS CAUSED BY PARTS THAT ARE NOT ORIGINAL BRIGGS & STRATTON PARTS.
2. Equipment controls or installations that prevent starting, cause unsatisfactory engine performance or shorten en­gine life. (Contact equipment manufacturer.)
3. Leaking carburetors, clogged fuel pipes, sticking valves, or other damage, caused by using contaminated or stale fuel. (Use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline and Briggs & Stratton Fuel Stabilizer, Part No. 5041.)
4. Parts that are scored or broken because an engine was operated with insufficient or contaminated lubricating oil, or an incorrect grade of lubricating oil (check oil level daily or after every 8 hours of operation. Refill when necessary and change at recommended intervals.) OIL GARD® may not shut down running engine. Engine damage may occur if oil level is not properly maintained. Read Operat­ing & Maintenance Instructions.
5. Repair or adjustment of associated parts or assemblies such as clutches, transmissions, remote controls, etc., which are not manufactured by Briggs & Stratton.
6. Damage or wear to parts caused by dirt, which entered the engine because of improper air cleaner maintenance, re-assembly, or use of a non-original air Cleaner element or cartridge. (At recommended intervals, clean and re-oil  the Oil-Foam element or the foam pre-cleaner, and replace the cartridge.) Read Operating & Maintenance Instructions.
7. Parts damaged by over-speeding, or overheating caused by grass, debris, or dirt, which plugs or clogs the cooling fins, or flywheel area, or damage caused by operating the engine in a confined area without sufficient ventilation. (Clean fins on the cylinder, cylinder head and flywheel at recommended intervals.) Read Operating & Maintenance Instructions.
8. Engine or equipment parts broken by excessive vibration caused by a loose engine mounting, loose cutter blades, unbalanced blades or loose or unbalanced impellers, im­proper attachment of equipment to engine crankshaft, over-speeding or other abuse in operation.
9. A bent or broken crankshaft, caused by striking a solid ob­ject with the cutter blade of a rotary lawn mower, or exces­sive v-belt tightness.
10. Routine tune-up or adjustment of the engine.
11. Engine or engine €Omponent failure, i.e., combustion chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides, or burned starter motor windings, caused by the use of alternate fuels such as, liquified petroleum, natural gas, altered gasolines, etc.

Warranty is available only through service dealers which have been authorized by Briggs & Stratton Corporation. your nearest Authorized Service Dealer is listed in the “Yel­low Pages™” of your telephone directory under “Engines, Gasoline” or “Gasoline Engines,” “Lawn Mowers,” or simi­lar category.
