ABOUT YOUR ENGINE WARRANTY
Briggs & Stratton welcomes warranty repair and apologizes to
you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer
may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty repairs are
handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty
service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty would
not apply if engine damage occurred because of misuse, lack
of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or
improper installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the serial
number of the engine has been removed or the engine has
been altered or modified.
If a customer differs with the decision of the Service Dealer, an
investigation will be made to determine whether the warranty
applies. Ask the Service Dealer to submit all supporting facts to
his Distributor or the Factory for review. If the Distributor or the
Factory decides that the claim is justified, the customer will be
fully reimbursed for those items that are defective. To avoid
misunderstanding which might occur between the customer
and the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of engine
failure that the warranty does not cover.
Normal wear:
Engines, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts
service and replacement to perform well. Warranty will not
cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or
an engine.
Improper maintenance:
The life of an engine depends upon the conditions under which
it operates, and the care it receives. Some applications, such
as tillers, pumps and rotary mowers, are very often used in
dusty or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be
premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, spark
plug cleaning grit, or other abrasive material that has entered
