STATEMENT

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and Briggs & Stratton are pleased to explain the Emission Control Systems Warranty on your 1996 and later utility or lawn and garden equipment (ULGE) engine. In California, new ULGE engines produced on or after August 1, 1995 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. Briggs & Stratton 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 ULGE engine.

Your emission control system includes such parts as the carburetor, air cleaner, ignition system, muffler and catalytic converter. Also included may be connectors and other emission related assemblies.

Where a warrantable condition exists, your authorized dealer or a Briggs & Stratton service dealer will repair your ULGE engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis (if the diagnostic work is performed at an authorized dealer), parts and labor.

EMISSION CONTROL DEFECTS WARRANTY COVERAGE

The utility or lawn and garden equipment 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 your authorized dealer or a Briggs & Stratton service dealer.

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES

As the utility or lawn and garden equipment owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in the Operator’s Manual. The engine manufacturer recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your ULGE engine, but the engine manufacturer cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the utility or lawn and garden equipment owner, you should however be aware that the engine manufacturer may deny you warranty coverage if your ULGE engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your utility or lawn and garden equipment engine to your authorized dealer or a Briggs & Stratton 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 your authorized dealer.

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