BRIGGS & STRATTON 4-CYCLE ENGINE

MODEL NUMBER 11Pg05-1267=B1

Engine Power Rating information

The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (So= ciety of Automo=tive Engineers) code J11940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002=5). Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other things, ambi- ent 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 horsepower). 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, 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.
