LIMITED WARRANTY
ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
Warranty service is available only through Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealers. This
warranty covers only defects in materials or workmanship. It does not cover damage caused
by improper use or abuse, improper maintenance or repair, normal wear and tear, or stale or
unapproved fuel.
Improper Use and Abuse - The proper, intended use of this product is described in the
Operator's Manual. Using the product in a way not described in the Operator's Manual or
using the product after it has been damaged will not be covered under this warranty. Warranty
coverage will also not be provided if the serial number on the product has been removed or the
product has been altered or modified in any way, or if the product has evidence of abuse such as
impact damage or water/chemical corrosion damage.
Improper Maintenance or Repair - This product must be maintained according to the
procedures and schedules provided in the Operator's Manual, and serviced or repaired using
genuine Briggs & Stratton parts or equivalent. Damage caused by lack of maintenance or use of
non-original parts is not covered by warranty.
Normal Wear and Tear - Like most mechanical devices, your unit is subject to wear even when
properly maintained. This warranty does not cover repairs when normal use has exhausted
the life of a part or the equipment. Maintenance and wear items such as filters, belts, cutting
blades, and brake pads (except engine brake pads) are not covered by warranty due to wear
characteristics alone, unless the cause is due to defects in material or workmanship.
Other Exclusions - This warranty excludes damage due to accident, abuse, modifications,
alterations, improper servicing, freezing or chemical deterioration. Attachments or accessories
that were not originally packaged with the product are also excluded. There is no warranty
coverage on equipment used for primary power in place of utility power or on equipment used
in life support applications. This warranty does not include used, reconditioned, second-hand,
or demonstration equipment or engines. This warranty also excludes failures due to acts of God
and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturer's control.
