CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Gasoline and Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproduc-
tive harm.
As an owner of off-road gasoline or diesel engine equipment and/or as an employer, you also may have an obligation under the California Occupational
Safety and Health Act or under Proposition 65 to warn persons exposed to gas and diesel engine exhaust and/or other Proposition 65 chemicals in and
around your workplace. See California Health and Safety Code section 25249.5, Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations at Section 1200 er seq.,
and Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations Section 5194.
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). Actual gross engine power
will be lower and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variabil-
ity. 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 horsepower). This difference is due to a variety of fac-
tors including, but not limited to, accessories (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 Series engine.
