POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You
CANNOT see it, smell it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust
fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas. If you start
to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this product, shut it off and get
to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon
monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows, doors and vents to
reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being
drawn towards occupied spaces.
Install battery--operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug--in carbon monoxide
alarms with battery back-up according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces,
sheds, or other partially-enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors
and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these
spaces and can linger for hours, even after this product has shut off.
ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from
occupied spaces.
NOTICE: This engine was shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Before you start
the engine, make sure you add oil according to the instructions in this manual. If you
start the engine without oil, it will be damaged beyond repair and will not be covered
under warranty.
Determine The Starting System
Before starting the engine, you must determine the type of starting system that is on your
engine. Your engine will have one of the following types.
ReadyStart
®
System: This features a temperature controlled automatic choke. It
does not have a manual choke or a primer.
Choke System: This features a choke to be used for starting in cool temperatures.
Some models will have a separate choke control while others will have a
combination choke/throttle control. This type does not have a primer.
To start your engine, follow the instructions for your type of starting system.
Note: Some engines and equipment have remote controls. See the equipment manual
for location and operation of remote controls.

1. Check the oil level. See the How To Check/Add Oil section.
2. Make sure equipment drive controls, if equipped, are disengaged.
3. Turn the fuel shut-off valve (A), if equipped, to the on
position (Figure 4).
4. Move the throttle control (B), if equipped, to the fast

7. Rewind Start: Firmly hold the starter cord handle (D). Pull the starter cord handle
slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly (Figure 4).
Note: If the engine does not start after repeated attempts, go to
BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM or call 1-800-233-3723 (in USA).
WARNING: Rapid retraction of the starter cord (kickback) will pull your
hand and arm toward the engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures,
bruises or sprains could result. When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
8. Electric Start: Turn the electric start switch to the on /start position.

Maintenance
NOTICE: If the engine is tipped during maintenance, the fuel tank must be empty and
thesparkplugsidemust be up. If the fuel tank is not empty and if the engine is tipped in
any other direction, it may be difficult to start due to oil or gasoline contaminating the air
filter and/or the spark plug.
WARNING: When performing maintenance that requires the unit to be
tipped, the fuel tank must be empty or fuel can leak out and result in a fire or
explosion.
We recommend that you see any Briggs & Stratton Authorized Dealer for all
maintenance and service of the engine and engine parts.
NOTICE: All the components used to build this engine must remain in place for proper
operation.
Emissions Control
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions control devices and systems
may be performed by any non-road engine repair establishment or individual.

by a factory authorized dealer. See the Emissions Warranty.
