charge to the customer for parts or labor, provided that the customer shall be responsible
for any transportation cost.

neglect (including but not limited to the use of stale fuel, dirt, abrasives, moisture, rust,
corrosion, or any adverse reaction due to improper storage or use habits), improper

product missing the model and/or serial number identifi cation label will be disqualifi ed

Warranty Period, then the new warranty is 90 days from the date of repair or to the end of
the original Warranty Period, whichever period is longer.

MODEL NUMBER 126M02-0303-F4
BRIGGS & STRATTON 4-CYCLE ENGINE
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 affected by, among other things, ambient operating 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 difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, accessories
(air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambi-
ent 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.
