Snapper washer-extractor Operator's Manual page 23

• 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.
Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air Index Information
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:
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.

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.
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.
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 or Phase 3 emissions standards. 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 at or less than 80 cc displacement:
Category C = 50 hours, Category B = 125 hours, Category A = 300 hours
For engines greater than 80 cc displacement and 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
