California and U.S. EPA Emission Control Warranty Statement Your Warranty Rights and Obligations

The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S.EPA and Briggs & Stratton Power Products (BSPP) are pleased to explain the Emission Control System Warranty on your model year 2000 and later small off-road engine (SORE). In California, new small off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. Elsewhere in the United States, new non-road, spark-ignition engines certified for model year 1997 and later, must meet similar standards set forth by the U.S.EPA. BSPP must warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission related assemblies.

Where a warrantable condition exists, BSPP will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

BSPP Emission Control Defects Warranty Coverage

The 1995 and later small off-road engines are warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by BSPP.

Owner's Warranty Responsibilities

As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in this owner's manual. BSPP recommends that you retain all your receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but BSPP cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that BSPP may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an approved BSPP Service Center as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact a BSPP Service Representative at 1-800-743-4115.
