Craftsman 919.762500 manual

Briggs & Stratton welcomes warranty repair and apologizes to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service DeaJer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty would not apply if engine damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the serial

number of the engine has been removed or the engine has been altered or modified.

if a customer differs with the decision of the Service-Denier, an investigation wilt be made to determine whether the warranty appties. Ask the Service Dealer to submit a_]supporting facts to his Distributor or the Factory for review. If the Distributor or the Factory decides that the c_aim is justified, the customer will be fulh/reimbursed for those items that are defective. To avoid misunderstanding which might occur between the customer and the Dealer, _isted below are some of the causes of engine failure that the warranty does not cover.

tmproper maintenance:

The life d an engine depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Some applications, such as tillers, pumps and rotary mowers, are very often used in dusty or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature wear. Such wear; when caused by dirt, dust_ spark plug cleaning grit_ or other abrasive matedal that has entered the engine because of improper maintenance, is not covered by warranty.

This warranty covers engine related defective material

and]or workmanship _ and not re_21acement or refund of the equipment to which the engine may be mounted.
