Warranties

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 2011-2012
engine/equipment. 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/equipment for the
periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse,
neglect, or improper maintenance of your engine or equipment.

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 and large spark ignited engines less
than or equal to 1.0 liter 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 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 [phone].

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 engine

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 is originally purchased.

The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:

• Any warranted part that is not scheduled for
replacement as required maintenance in the owner’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 owner’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 owner’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 Operating & Maintenance Instructions.
The following categories are used:

Moderate:

Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hours
of actual engine running time.

Intermediate:

Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 250 hours
of actual engine running time.

Extended:

Engine is certified to be emissions 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 Emissions Durability
Period of an engine with an intermediate rating would
equate to 10 to 12 years. Briggs & Stratton engines are
certified to meet the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emissions 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 emissions requirements.

For engines less than 225 cc displacement.
Category C = 125 hours
Category B = 250 hours
Category A = 500 hours

For engines of 225 cc or more displacement.
Category C = 250 hours
Category B = 500 hours
Category A = 1000 hours

ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY

We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty
repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty service would not apply if
equipment damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, the
warranty is void if the manufacturing date or the serial number on the pressure washer or engine has been removed or the equipment has been altered or
modified. During the warranty period, the Authorized Service Dealer, at its option, will repair or replace any part that, upon examination, is found to be
defective under normal use and service. This warranty will not cover the following repairs and equipment:

• Normal Wear: Outdoor Power Equipment, like all mechanical devices, needs periodic parts and service to perform well. This warranty also does not

cover normal maintenance such as air filters, adjustments, fuel system cleaning and obstruction (due to chemical, lime, dirt, and so forth).

• Installation and Maintenance: This warranty does not apply to equipment or parts that have been subjected to improper or unauthorized installation or

alteration and modification, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading, overspeeding, improper maintenance, repair or storage so as, in our judgment,
to adversely affect its performance and reliability. This warranty also does not cover normal maintenance such as air filters, adjustments, fuel system
cleaning and obstruction (due to chemical, lime, dirt, and so forth).

• Other Exclusions: This warranty excludes wear items such as quick couplers, seals, o-rings, pumps that have been run without water supplied or

damage or malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse, modifications, alterations, or improper servicing or freezing or chemical deterioration.
Accessory parts, such as guns, hoses, nozzle extensions (wands), and nozzles, are excluded from the product warranty. This warranty excludes used,
reconditioned, and demonstration equipment and failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturers control.
