• Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.

NOTICE

Spark plugs have different heat ranges. It is important that

the correct spark plug is used, otherwise, engine damage can

occur. Replace the spark plug with the same type or equivalent

one.

Clean Spark Plug

Clean with wire brush and sturdy knife. Do NOT use abrasives.

Check Spark Plug Gap

Use a spark plug feeler gauge (A, Figure 15) to check the gap

between the two electrodes. When the gap is correct, the gauge

will drag slightly as you pull it through the gap.

If necessary, use the spark plug gauge to adjust the gap by

gently bending the curved electrode without touching the center

electrode or the porcelain.

Install Spark Plug

Finger tighten, then tighten with wrench as shown in Figure 16.

Storage

WARNING

Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed, unventilated

structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition source (such

as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause an explosion.

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, or other

appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition sources

because they can ignite fuel vapors.

Equipment

Disengage the Power Take-Off (PTO), set the parking brake,

and remove the starter insert.

Allow the machine to cool.

Battery life will be increased if it is removed. Put in a cool, dry

place and keep fully charged during storage. If the battery is

left in the unit, disconnect the negative cable.

Fuel System

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel

causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on

essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs &

Stratton® Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer,

available wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine service parts are

sold.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel

stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine for

2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel system

before storage. If gasoline in the engine has not been treated

with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved

container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The

use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended

to maintain freshness.

Engine Oil

While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil.

Before starting the machine after it has been stored:

• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.

• Perform all recommended checks and procedures found in

this manual.

• Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before use.

Power Ratings

The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)

code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque values are

derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with “rpm” called out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower values are

derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power values are

taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these attachments. Actual gross

engine power will be higher than net engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and

engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines are placed, the gasoline engine may not develop

the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment. This difference is due to a variety of factors including,

but not limited to, the variety of engine components (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 engine.

Guide til identifikation af skråninger

Sådan måler du hældningen på en græsplæne med en

smartphone eller et vinkelmålerværktøj:

ADVARSEL

Må ikke betjenes på skråninger, som er højere end 10grader.

1. Brug en lige kant mindst 0,6 meter (to fod) lang (A, figur 1).

Et 2x4 eller et lige stykke metal kan også du.

2. Vinkel -finder værktøj.

a. Brug din smartphone: Mange smartphones (B, figur

1) har en hældningsmåler sammen med kompas

-appen. Ellers kan du lede i en app store efter en

hældningsmåler-app.

b. Brug et hældningsmålerværktøj:

Hældningsmålerværktøj (C og D, figur 1) er tilgængelige

i lokale isenkræmmere eller online (også kaldet

inklinometer, vinkelmåler eller hældningsmåler).

Urskive-type (c) eller digital type (D) virker, andre gør

muligvis ikke. Følg instruktioner for hældnings

målerværktøjet.

3. Placér den 0,6 meter (to fod) lange, lige kant langs den

mest stejle del af plænehældningen. Placér brættet op og

ned langs hældningen.

4. Læg smartphonen eller hældningsmåleren langs kanten og

aflæs vinkelgraderne. Det er din græsplænes hældning.

Bemærk:

En identifikationsguide til papirmåler til hældninger er

inkluderet i produktmanualpakken og er også tilgængelig til at

downloade fra producentens hjemmeside.
