California and U.S. EPA Emission Control Warranty
Statement Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S.EPA and Briggs
& Stratton Power Products (BSPP) are pleased to explain the
Emission Control System Warranty on your model year 2000 and
later small off-road engine (SORE). In California, new small off-
road 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 1997 and later, must meet similar standards set forth by the
U.S.EPA. BSPP must warrant the emission 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 may include parts such as the
carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition system, and
catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors
and other emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, BSPP will repair your small
off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and
labor.
BSPP Emission Control Defects Warranty Coverage
The 1995 and later small off-road engines are warranted for two
years. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the
part will be repaired or replaced by BSPP.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in this owner's
manual. BSPP recommends that you retain all your receipts
covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but BSPP
cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your
failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware
that BSPP may deny you warranty 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 approved BSPP Service Center 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 BSPP Service Representative
at 1-800-743-4115.
