General Recommendations

Regular maintenance will improve the performance and extend the life of the water pump. See any authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer for service.

The water pump’s warranty does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain water pump as instructed in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your water pump.

All service and adjustments should be made at least once each season. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance Schedule chart above.

NOTE: Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run better and last longer.

However, to obtain ”no charge” emissions control service, the work must be performed by a factory authorized dealer. See the Emissions Warranty.
