Craftsman 580.32561 Portable Generator User Manual


 
ENGINETECHNICALiNFORMATiON
This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve(OH\/), air cooled
engine, it is a iow emissions engine.
Inthe Stateof Caiifornia, Model200000 enginesare certified
by the California Air Resources Boardto meet emissions
standardsfor 250 hours. Such certification does not grant
the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any
additiona] warranties with respectto the performance or
operational iife of this engine.Theengine is warrantedsolety
according to the product and emissions warranties stated
elsewherein this manual.
Power Ratings
Thegross power rating for individuai gas engine models is
labeledin accordancewith SAE(Societyof Automotive
Engineers)codeJ1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque
Rating Procedure),and rating performance hasbeen
obtained andcorrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995
(Revision2002=05).Torquevalues are derived at3060 RPM;
horsepower values arederivedat 3600 RPM.Actuai gross
engine power wiii be lower and is affected by, among other
things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine
variability. Givenboth the wide array of products on which
enginesare piacedand the variety of environmentai issues
appiicabteto operatingthe equipment, the gas engine wiii not
developthe ratedgross power when used in a given pieceof
power equipment (actual "on-site"or net power). This
difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not
limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust,charging,
cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), appiication iimitations,
ambient operating conditions (temperature,humidity,
altitude), and engine-to-engine variabiiity. Dueto
manufacturing and capacityiimitations, Briggs & Stratton
maysubstitute an engine of higher ratedpower for this
Seriesengine.
