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 (414) 259-5262.
