Engine power will decrease 3.5% for each 1,000 feet (300 meters) above sea level and
1% for each 10° F (5.6° C) above 77° F (25° C). The engine will operate satisfactorily
at an angle up to 30°. Refer to the equipment operator's manual for safe allowable
operating limits on slopes.

We recommend that you see any Briggs & Stratton Authorized Dealer for all
maintenance and service of the engine and engine parts.
Power Ratings: The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is
labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 Small
Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995.
Torque values are derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with "rpm" called out on the
label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. The
gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power
values are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values
are collected without these attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher than
net engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions
and engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines
are placed, the gasoline engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a
given piece of power equipment. This difference is due to a variety of factors including,
but not limited to, the variety of engine components (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 engine.

commercial consumer. "Consumer use" means personal residential household use by a
retail consumer. "Commercial use" means all other uses, including use for commercial,
income producing or rental purposes. Once an engine has experienced commercial
use, it shall thereafter be considered as a commercial use engine for purposes of this
warranty.
