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) (Re
vision 2002 05). Given both the wide array of products
on which our engines are placed, and the variety of en
vironmental issues applicable to operating the equip
ment, 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 dif
ference is due to a variety of factors including, but not
limited to, the following: differences in altitude, temper
ature, barometric pressure, humidity, fuel, engine lu
brication, maximum governed engine speed, individual
engine to engine variability, design of the particular
piece of power equipment, the manner in which the en
gine 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 de
rived using the foregoing codes.

THE OPERATING & MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS CONTAIN SAFETY
INFORMATION TO
• Make you aware of hazards associated with engines
• Inform you of the risk of injury associated with those
hazards, and
• Tell you how to avoid or reduce the risk of injury.
The safety alert symbol is used to identify safety
information about hazards that can result in personal injury.
A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION) is used
with the alert symbol to indicate the likelihood and the potential
severity of injury. In addition, a hazard symbol may be used to
represent the type of hazard.
DANGER indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,
might result in minor or moderate injury.
,
CAUTION
when used without the alert symbol,
indicates a situation that could result in damage to
the engine.
WARNING
The engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
In the state of California, Model Series 110000 and 120000
engines 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.
