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

governor spring, linkages, or other parts to adjust the engine speed. If adjustments
are necessary, contact a Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealer for servicing.
NOTICE
The equipment manufacturer specifies the maximum speed for the engine as installed
on the equipment. Do not exceed this speed. If you are not sure what the equipment
maximum speed is, or what the engine speed is set to from the factory, 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.

Servicing the Exhaust System
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.
It is a violation of California Public Resource Code, Section 4442, to use or operate the
engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the exhaust
system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in section 4442, maintained in
effective working order. Other states or federal jurisdictions may have similar laws;
reference Federal Regulation 36 CFR Part 261.52. Contact the original equipment
manufacturer, retailer, or dealer to obtain a spark arrester designed for the exhaust
system installed on this engine.
Remove debris from the muffler and cylinder area. Inspect the muffler for cracks,
corrosion, or other damage. Remove the deflector or the spark arrester, if equipped, and
inspect for damage or carbon blockage. If damage is found, install the replacement parts
before you operate the equipment.
WARNING
Replacement parts must be of the same design and installed in the same position as the
original parts. Other parts could result in damage or an injury.
Servicing the Spark Plug
Check the spark plug gap (A, Figure 11) with a wire gauge (B). If necessary, set the
spark plug gap. Install and tighten the spark plug to the correct torque. For gap and
torque specifications, refer to the Specifications section.
NOTE: In some areas, it is mandatory by local law that you use a resistor spark plug
to decrease ignition signals. If a resistor spark plug was installed by the equipment
manufacturer, use the same type for replacement.

).
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion could result in
burns or death.
During operation, the engine and muffler become hot. If you touch a hot engine,
thermal burns can occur.
• If you drain the oil from the top oil fill tube, the fuel tank must be empty. If it is not
empty, fuel leakage can occur and cause a fire or an explosion.
• 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.
Used oil is a hazardous waste product and must be discarded of correctly. Do not
discard with household waste. Contact your local authorities, service center, or dealer
for safe disposal or recycling facilities.
For Just Check & Add
necessary, refer to the procedure that follows.
Remove Oil
1. With engine off but warm, disconnect the spark plug wire(s) (D, Figure 12) and keep
it away from the spark plug(s) (E).
2. Remove the dipstick (A, Figure 13).
3. Remove the oil drain plug (F, Figure 14). Drain the oil into an approved container.
NOTE: One of the oil drain plugs could be installed in the engine.
4. After the oil has drained, install and tighten the oil drain plug (F, Figure 14).
5. When you drain the oil from the top oil fill tube (C, Figure 15), keep the spark plug
(E) end of the engine up. Drain the oil into an approved container.
WARNING
When you drain the oil from the top oil fill tube, the fuel tank must be empty. If it is not
empty, fuel leakage can occur and could result in a fire or an explosion. Operate the
engine until the fuel tank is empty.
