California and United States Emission Control Defects Warranty Statement

The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S. EPA and B&S are pleased to explain the Emission Control System Warranty on your model year 2002 and later small off-road engine (SORE). In California, new small off-road engines must be de- signed, 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 emis- sion 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 includes parts such as the carburetor, air cleaner, ignition sys- tem, muffler and catalytic converter. Also in- cluded may be connectors and other emission 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 Emission Control Defects Warranty Coverage

Small off-road engines are warranted relative to emission 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 re- sponsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Operating and Main- tenance Instructions. B&S recommends that you retain all your receipts covering mainte- nance on your small off-road engine, but B&S cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of re- ceipts or for your failure to ensure the perfor- mance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that B&S may deny you war- ranty 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 war- ranty rights and responsibilities, you should con- tact a B&S Service Representative at 1-414-259-5262.

The emission warranty is a defects warranty. Defects are judged on normal engine perfor- mance. The warranty is not related to an in-use emission test.
