California, u.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton Corporation Emissions Control Warranty Statement
your Warranty Rights And Obligations
The California Air Resources Board, U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton (B&S) are pleased to explain
the emissions control system warranty on your Model Year 2008 and later engine/equipment. In
California, new small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's
stringent anti-smog standards. B&S must warrant the emissions control system on your engine/
equipment 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 may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, fuel
tank, ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors, sensors,
and other emissions-related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your
engine/equipment at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
Small off-road engines are warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part on your engine/
equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
•
As the small engine/equipment owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in your owner's manual. B&S recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your engine/equipment, but B&S cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of
receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
•
As the engine/equipment owner, you should however be aware that B&S may deny you
warranty coverage if your engine/equipment or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
•
You are responsible for presenting your engine/equipment to a B&S distribution center, servicing
dealer, or other equivalent entity, as applicable, as soon as a problem exists. The 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 B&S
at (414) 259-5262.
