The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S.
EPA and B&S are pleased to explain the Emission
Control System Warranty on your model year
2002 and later small off-road engine (SORE). In
Califomia, new small off-road engines must be de-
signed, built and equipped to meet the State's
stnngent antFsmog standards.
Elsewhere in the United States, new non-road,
spark-ignition engines certified for model year
1997 and later must meet similar standards set
forth by the U.S. EPA. B&S must warrant the emis-
sion 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 sys-
tem, muffler and catalytic converter. Also in-
cluded may be connectors and other emission
related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists B&S will
repair your small off-road engine at no cost to
you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
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 engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S.
As the small off-road engine owner, you are re-
sponsible for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in your Operating and Main-
tenance Instructions. B&S recommends that
you retain all your receipts covering mainte-
nance on your small off-road engine, but B&S
cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of re-
ceipts or for your failure to ensure the perfor-
mance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine owner, you should
however be aware that B&S may deny you war-
ranty 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 engine 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 exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your war-
ranty rights and responsibilities, you should con-
tact a B&S Service Representative at
1-4t 4-259-5262.
