Emission Control System Warranty Statement
(Owner's Defect Warranty Rights and Obligations)
EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY COVERAGE IS AP
PLICABLE TO CERTIFIED ENGINES PURCHASED IN
CALIFORNIA IN 1995 AND THEREAFTER, WHICH ARE
USED IN CALIFORNIA, AND TO CERTIFIED MODEL

California, United States and Canada Emission
Control Defects Warranty Statement
The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S. EPA
and B&S are pleased to explain the Emission Control Sys
tem Warranty on your model year 2000 and later small off
road engine (SORE). In California, new small off road
engines 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 certi
fied for model year 1997 and later, must meet similar stan
dards set forth by the U.S. EPA. B&S 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 small off road
engine.
Your emission control system includes parts such as the
carburetor, air cleaner, ignition system, muffler and cata
lytic converter. Also included may be connectors and oth
er emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your
small off road engine at no cost to you including diagno
sis, parts and labor.
Briggs & Stratton Emission Control
Defects Warranty Coverage
Small off road 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 en
gine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by
B&S.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the small off road engine owner, you are responsible
for the performance of the required maintenance listed in
your Operating and Maintenance Instructions. B&S rec
ommends that you retain all your receipts covering main
tenance on your small off road engine, but B&S cannot
deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your fail
ure to ensure the performance of all scheduled mainte
nance.
As the small off road engine owner, you should however
be aware that B&S may deny you warranty coverage if
your small off road engine or a part has failed due to
abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off road en
gine to an Authorized B&S Service Dealer as soon as a
problem exists. The undisputed warranty repairs should
be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to ex
ceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights
and responsibilities, you should contact a B&S Service
Representative at 1 414 259 5262.
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.

the date the engine is delivered to a retail purchaser.
3. No Charge
Repair or replacement of any Warranted Part will be per

Look For Relevant Emission
Durability Period and
Air Index Information On
Your Engine Emission Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) Tier 2 Emission Standards
must display information regarding the Emissions Dura
bility Period and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes
this information available to the consumer on our emis
sion labels. The engine label will indicate certification
information.
The Emission Durability Period describes the number
of hours of actual running time for which the engine is
certified to be emission compliant, assuming proper
maintenance in accordance with the Operating & Mainte
nance Instructions. The following categories are used:
Moderate: Engine is certified to be emission compliant for
125 hours of actual engine running time.
Intermediate: Engine is certified to be emission com
pliant for 250 hours of actual engine running time.
Extended: Engine is certified to be emission compliant for
500 hours of actual engine running time.
For example, a typical walk behind lawn mower is used 20
to 25 hours per year. Therefore, the Emission Durability
Period of an engine with an intermediate rating would
equate to 10 to 12 years.
The Air Index is a calculated number describing the
relative level of emission for a specific engine family. The
lower the Air Index, the cleaner the engine. This
information is displayed in graphical form on the emission
label.
After July 1, 2000, Look For Emissions
Compliance Period On Engine Emissions
Compliance Label
After July 1, 2000 certain Briggs & Stratton engines will be
certified to meet the United States Environmental Protec
tion Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emission standards. For
Phase 2 certified engines, the Emissions Compliance
Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance label
indicates the number of operating hours for which the
engine has been shown to meet Federal emission
requirements. For engines less than 225 cc displacement,
Category C = 125 hours, B = 250 hours and A = 500 hours.
For engines of 225 cc or more, Category C = 250 hours, B
= 500 hours and A = 1000 hours.
The displacement of Model Series 120000 engine is 190 cc.
This is a generic repre
sentation of the emis
sion label typically found
on a certified engine.
