Maintenance

Regular maintenance will improve the performance and

extend the life of the engine. See any Authorized Briggs

& Stratton Dealer for service. 

Use only genuine

Briggs & Stratton parts. Other parts may not

perform as well, may damage the engine, and may

result in injury.

 In addition, use of other parts may void

your warranty.

Emission Control

Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emission

control devices and systems may be performed by

any nonroad engine repair establishment or

individual.

 However, to obtain no charge repairs under

the terms and provisions of the Briggs & Stratton

warranty statement, any service or emission control

part repair or replacement must be performed by a

factory authorized dealer.

Unintentional sparking can result in

fire or electric shock.

Fire or explosion can cause severe

burns or death.

Unintentional start-up can result in

entanglement, traumatic

amputation, or laceration.

Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away

from spark plug.

Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only

engines with electric start).

Use only correct tools.

During maintenance or repairs:

Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or
hard object because the flywheel may later
shatter during operation.

Do not tamper with governor spring, links or
other parts to increase engine speed.

When testing for spark:

Use approved spark plug tester.

Do not check for spark with spark plug

removed.

WARNING

Follow the instructions and schedules indicated below.
