ENGINETECHNICALINFORMATION

This is a single cylinder, overheadvalve (OHV), air cooled

engine. It is a low emissions engine.

In the State of California, Model 120000 enginesare certified

by the California Air Resources Boardto meet emissions

standardsfor 125 hours. Such certification does not grant

the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any

additional warranties with respectto the performanceor

operational life of this engine.Theengine is warranted solely

according to the product and emissions warranties stated

elsewherein this manual.

Power Ratings

Thegross power rating for individual gas enginemodels is

labeled in accordancewith SAE(Society of Automotive

Engineers)codeJ1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque

Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been

obtained and corrected in accordancewith SAEJ1995

(Revision 2002-05). Torquevalues are derived at 3060 RPM;

horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPIVI.Actual gross

engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other

things, ambientoperating conditions and engine-to-engine

variability. Givenboth the wide arrayof products onwhich

enginesare placed andthe variety of environmental issues

applicableto operatingthe equipment,the gas engine will not

developthe ratedgross power when used in a given pieceof

power equipment (actual "on-site"or net power). 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. Dueto

manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton

may substitute an engine of higher ratedpower for this

Seriesengine.

This pressurewasher is rated in accordanceto the Pressure

Washer Manufacturer's Association (PWIVIA)standard

PW101 (Testingand Rating Performanceof Pressure

Washers).
