About Your Engine Warranty
Briggs & Stratton welcomes warranty repair and apologizes to you
for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may per-
form warranty repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely,
but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropri-
ate. For example, warranty would not apply if engine damage oc-
curred 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 Dealer, an in-
vestigation will be made to determine whether the warranty ap-
plies. Ask the Service Dealer to submit all supporting facts to his
Distributor or the Factory for review. If the Distributor or the Factory
decides that the claim is justified, the customer will be fully reim-
bursed for those items that are defective. To avoid misunderstand-
ing which might occur between the customer and the Dealer, listed
below are some of the causes of engine failure that the warranty
does not cover.
Normal wear:
Engines, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts service
and replacement to perform well. Warranty will not cover repair
when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or an engine.
Improper maintenance:
The life of an engine depends upon the conditions under which it
operates, and the care it receives. Some applications, such as til-
lers, 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 material that has entered the engine because of
"Briggs & Stratton Corporation will repair or replace, free of charge, any part, or parts of the engine that are defective in material or workmanship or both. Transportation charges on parts submitted for

your nearest Authorized Service Dealer as listed in the 'Yellow Pages™' under 'Engines, Gasoline,' 'Gasoline Engines,' 'Lawn Mowers' or similar category. THERE IS NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRAN-
TY. IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE LIMITED TO ONE YEAR FROM PURCHASE, OR TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUDED. LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUDED TO THE
EXTENT EXCLUSION IS PERMITTED BY LAW. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation and exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state."
