Use only genuine Briggs & Stratton parts. If you perform any maintenance on the engine, first disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug, and disconnect the battery at the negative terminal (electric starter engines only) to prevent unintentional sparking. Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock. Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration. Use only correct tools. WARNING WARNING MUFFLER • Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard object because the flywheel may later shatter during operation. • Do not tamper with governor spring, links or other parts to increase engine speed. Note: On Model Series 19E400, 19F400, 19G400 engines use only spark plug, Part No. 496018.
