Briggs & Stratton Emissions Warranty
California, U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton, LLC Emissions Control Warranty -
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
For Briggs & Stratton Engine Models with "B" or "G" Trim Designation (Model-
Type-Trim Representation xxxxxx xxxx Bx or xxxxxx xxxx Gx)
The California Air Resources Board, U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton (B&S) are
pleased to explain the exhaust emissions ("emissions") control system warranty on
your 2021-2023 engine. In California, new small off-road engines and large spark
ignited engines less than or equal to 1.0 liter 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 for the periods of time listed below provided there has
been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine or
equipment leading to the failure of the emissions control system.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel-
injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel lines (for liquid
fuel and fuel vapors), fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, clamps and other associated
components. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors, and other emission-
related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your engine at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
The exhaust emissions control system on your engine is warranted for two years. If any
emissions-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced
by B&S.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
• As the engine 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, but B&S cannot deny
warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled maintenance.
• As the engine owner, you should however be aware that B&S may deny you
warranty coverage if your engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or
improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
• You are responsible for presenting your engine to a B&S distribution center
or service center as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs shall
be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you
have a question regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should
contact B&S at 1-800-444-7774 (in USA) or BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM.
Briggs & Stratton Emissions Control Warranty Provisions
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emissions Control Warranty
Coverage. It is in addition to the B&S engine warranty for non-regulated engines found
in the Operator's Manual.
1. Warranted Emissions Parts
Coverage under this warranty extends only to the parts listed below (the emissions
control systems parts) to the extent these parts were present on the B&S engine.
a. Fuel Metering System
• Cold start enrichment system (soft choke)
• Carburetor or fuel injection system
• Oxygen sensor
• Electronic control unit
• Fuel pump module
b. Air Induction System
• Air cleaner
• Intake manifold
c. Ignition System
• Spark plug(s)
• Magneto ignition system
d. Catalyst System
• Catalytic converter
• Exhaust manifold
• Air injection system or pulse value
e. Miscellaneous Items Used in Above Systems
• Vacuum, temperature, position, time sensitive valves and switches
• Connectors and assemblies
• Electronic controls
2. Length of Coverage
Coverage is for a period of two years from the date of delivery to an ultimate
purchaser, or for the time period listed in the respective engine or product warranty
statement, whichever is greater. B&S warrants to the original purchaser and each
subsequent purchaser that the engine is designed, built, and equipped so as to
conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board; that
it is free from defects in material and workmanship that could cause the failure
of a warranted part; and that it is identical in all material respects to the engine
described in the manufacturer's application for certification. The warranty period
begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
• Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the Operator's Manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty
period stated above. If any such part fails during the period of warranty
coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S at no charge to
the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty will be
warranted for the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the
Operator's Manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty period stated
above. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted
for the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the Operator's Manual supplied, is warranted for the period of
time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails
prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or replaced
by B&S at no charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under
warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first
scheduled replacement point for the part.
• Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board
may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modified parts by
the owner will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer
will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a
non-exempted add-on or modified part.
3. Consequential Coverage
Coverage shall extend to the failure of any engine components caused by the
failure of any warranted emissions parts.
4. Claims and Coverage Exclusions
Warranty claims shall be filed according to the provisions of the B&S engine
warranty policy. Warranty coverage does not apply to failures of emissions
parts that are not original equipment B&S parts or to parts that fail due to abuse,
neglect, or improper maintenance as set forth in the B&S engine warranty policy.
B&S is not liable for warranty coverage of failures of emissions parts caused by
the use of add-on or modified parts.
Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air Index Information On
Your Small Off-Road Engine Emissions Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) small off-
road Emissions Standard must display information regarding the Emissions Durability
Period and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this information available to the
consumer on our emissions labels. The engine emissions label will indicate certification
information.
The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running
time for which the engine is certified to be emissions compliant, assuming proper
maintenance in accordance with the Operator's Manual. The following categories are
used:
Moderate:
Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified to be emissions compliant for
50 hours of actual engine running time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are
certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time.
Intermediate:
Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified to be emissions compliant for
125 hours of actual engine running time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are
certified to be emissions compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running time.
Extended:
Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified to be emissions compliant for
300 hours of actual engine running time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are
certified to be emissions compliant for 500 hours of actual engine running time.
