Briggs & Stratton Emissions Warranty
U.S. EPA and Briggs & Stratton, LLC Emissions Control Warranty - Your
Warranty Rights and Obligations
For Briggs & Stratton Engine Models with "F" Trim Designation (Model-Type-
Trim Representation xxxxxx xxxx Fx)
The U.S. EPA and Briggs & Stratton (B&S) are pleased to explain the exhaust and
evaporative emissions ("emissions") control system warranty on your 2023-2025
engine. New equipment that use small off-road engines must be designed, built, and
equipped to meet 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 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/equipment at no cost
to you including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
The exhaust and evaporative emissions control system on your engine/equipment
is warranted for two years. If any evaporative emission-related part on your engine/
equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
• As the 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, 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/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, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
• You are responsible for presenting your engine/equipment 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

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; 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 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.
