Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 540000 Manual Del Operario página 10

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. See the Change Engine Oil
section.

Engine power will decrease 3.5% for each 1,000 feet (300 meters) above sea level and
1% for each 10° F (5.6° C) above 77° F (25° C). The engine will operate satisfactorily
at an angle up to 15°. Refer to the equipment operator's manual for safe allowable
operating limits on slopes.

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.
