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-enginevariability. 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-enginevariability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton

 

 

may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.
