Briggs & Stratton Corporation (B&S), the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (U.S. EPA) Emissions Control System Warranty Statement (Owner's Warranty Rights and Obligations)
The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S. EPA and B&S are pleased to explain
the Emissions Control System Warranty on your model year 2010 off-road spark-ignition
engine. In California, new off-road large spark-ignition 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 certified for model year 2010, must meet
similar standards set forth by the U.S. EPA. B&S must warrant the emissions control
system on your engine for the period of time listed below, provided there has been no
abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your engine.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor, air cleaner and
ignition system. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other
emissions-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your engine at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Briggs & Stratton Corporation Warranty Coverage
The 2010 and later off-road spark-ignition engines are warranted for two years. If any
emissions-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced
by B&S.
B&S warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the off-road
engine is: designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations;
and free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted
part to be identical in all material respects to that part as described in B&S's application
for certification. The warranty period begins on the date the off-road engine is delivered
to an ultimate purchaser or first placed into service. The warranty period is two years.
Subject to certain conditions and exclusions as stated below, the warranty on
emissions-related parts is as follows:
1. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance
in the written instructions supplied, is warranted for the warranty period stated
above. If the part fails during the period of warranty coverage, the part will be
repaired or replaced by B&S according to subsection (4) below. Any such part
repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the
period.
2. Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written
instructions 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.
3. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in
the written instructions supplied is warranted for the period of time before the first
scheduled replacement date for that part. If the part fails before the first scheduled
replacement, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S according to subsection
(4) below. 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.

Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in your Operator's Manual. B&S recommends that you retain all your
receipts covering maintenance on your engine, but B&S cannot deny warranty 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, improper maintenance
or unapproved modifications. You are responsible for presenting your engine to an
Authorized B&S Service Dealer 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 a B&S Service Representative at 1--800--233--3723.
