Briggs & Stratton will showcase the most recent addition to its range at IOG Saltex 2013 - the new 150cc 600E-SERIES OHV single-cylinder vertical shaft engine - which has been designed to deliver premium power and features specifically to the mid-market walk-behind category.

Core to the new 600E-SERIES Engine is the reduced exhaust emissions together with a broad array of performance and feature benefits which deliver meaningful value to the end-consumer.

The 600E model provides true value power, featuring Overhead Valve (OHV) technology, mechanical governor, float feed carburetor with paper air cleaner and a Super Lo-Tone™ muffler. In addition, the new 600E features the patented ReadyStart starting system which makes the engine extremely easy to start.

The engine boasts an extremely efficient design which enables it to deliver 8.5Nm of gross torque at 2’600rpm from a 150cc cylinder displacement. At 8.2kg dry weight, the engine produces an exceptionally good power-to-weight ratio, delivering enough power without unnecessary weight to make it easier to cut through longer and thicker grass.

The New 600E-SERIES Engine platform has been designed and manufactured to meet the new E-SERIES environmental standards set by the company back in 2011. In line with those stringent standards, the new 600E engine surpasses the current European exhaust emissions regulations by at least 25%¹. The new 600E provides not only significantly reduced exhaust emissions which are well below the current European emissions standards, but they also offer improved sound and tonal quality.
