Emissions Control Defects Warranty

Statement

The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S. EPA and B&S are pleased to explain the Emissions Control System Warranty on your small off–road engine (SORE). In California, new small off–road engines model year 2006 and later 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. B&S must warrant the emissions 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 emissions control system includes parts such as the carburetor, air cleaner, ignition system, fuel line, muffler and catalytic converter. Also included may be connectors and other emissions related assemblies.

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

Briggs & Stratton Emissions Control Defects Warranty Coverage

Small off–road engines are warranted relative to emissions control parts defects for a period of two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If any covered part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S.

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities

As the small off–road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Operating and Maintenance Instructions. B&S recommends that you retain all your receipts covering maintenance on your small off–road engine, but B&S 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 B&S 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 Authorized B&S Service Dealer as soon as a problem exists. The undisputed 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 B&S Service Representative at 1–414–259–5262.

The emissions warranty is a defects warranty. Defects are judged on normal engine performance. The warranty is not related to an in–use emissions test.
