ENGINE POWER RATING INFORMATION
The gross power rating for individual gas engine models
is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive
Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating
Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and
corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05).
Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower values
are derived at 3600 RPM. Actual gross engine power will be
lower and is aected by, among other things, ambient oper-
ating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given
both the wide array of products on which engines are
placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable
to operating the equipment, the gas engine will not develop
the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power
equipment (actual "on-site" or net power). This dierence
to due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to,
accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carbur-
etor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient oper-
ating 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 Series engine.
