2. Length of Coverage
Coverage is for a period of two years from the date of delivery to an ultimate
purchaser, or for the period listed in the respective engine or product warranty
statement, whichever is greater. B&S warrants to the original purchaser and each
subsequent purchaser that the engine is designed, built, and equipped so as to
conform with all applicable regulations under Section 213 of the Clean Air Act
that is free from defects in material and workmanship that could cause the failure
of a warranted part; and that is identical in all material respects to the engine
described in the manufacturer's application for certification. The warranty period
begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
• Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the Operator's Manual supplied, is warranted for the
warranty period stated above. If any such part fails during the period of
warranty coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S at no
charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty
will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the
Operator's Manual 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.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the Operator's Manual supplied, is warranted for the period
of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the
part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired
or replaced by B&S at no charge to the owner. 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.
• Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the U.S. EPA may not
be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modified parts by the
owner will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer
will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of
a non-exempted add-on or modified part.
3. Consequential Coverage
Coverage shall extend to the failure of any engine components caused by the
failure of any warranted emissions parts.
4. Claims and Coverage Exclusions
Warranty claims shall be filed according to the provisions of the B&S engine
warranty policy. Warranty coverage does not apply to failures of emissions
parts that are not original equipment B&S parts or to parts that fail due to abuse,
neglect, or improper maintenance as set forth in the B&S engine warranty policy.
B&S is not liable for warranty coverage of failures of emissions parts caused by
the use of add-on or modified parts.
