†Power Ratings: All power levels are stated gross horsepower
per SAE J2723 as rated by Kawasaki and tested per the SAE
J1995 test standard. The gross power curves and more
information can be viewed at www.kawasaki-criticalpower.com.

* Power Ratings: The gross power rating for individual gasoline
engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of
Automotive Engineers) code J1940 Small Engine Power &
Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE
J1995. Torque values are derived at 2600 RPM for those engines
with “rpm” called out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others;
horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power
curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM.
Net power values are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed
whereas gross power values are collected without these
attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher than net
engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambient
operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given the
wide array of products on which engines are placed, the gasoline
engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a
given piece of power equipment. This difference is due to a
variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine
components (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 engine.
