California and United States Emission Control Defects Warranty Statement
The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S. EPA and B&S D are pleased to explain the Emission Control System
Warranty on your model year 2001 and later Non-road Compression-ignition engine. In California new Non-road Compres-
sion-ignition engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. Elsewhere
in the United States, new Non-road Compression-ignition engines certified for model year 2001 and later, must meet
similar standards set forth by the U.S. EPA. B&S D must warrant the emission control system on your engine for the period
of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your Non-road Compression-
ignition engine. Your emission control system includes parts such as the air cleaner, ignition system, and muffler. Also
included may be connectors and other emission related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S D will
repair your Non-road Compression-ignition engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Briggs & Stratton Daihatsu Emission Control Defects Warranty Coverage
Non-road Compression-ignition engines are warranted relative to emission control part defects for a period of 1,500 hours
or two years, whichever first occurs, subject to provisions set forth below. If any covered part on your Non-road Compres-
sion-ignition engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S D.
As the Non-road Compression-ignition engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required mainte-
nance listed in your Operating and Maintenance Instructions. B&S D recommends that you retain all your receipts covering
maintenance on your Non-road Compression-ignition engine, but B&S D cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of
receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance. As the Non-road Compression-ignition
engine owner, you should however be aware the B&S D may deny you warranty coverage if your Non-road Compression-
ignition engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications. You are
responsible for presenting your Non-road Compression-ignition engine to an Authorized B&S D Service Dealer as soon as
a problem exists. The undisputed 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 B&S D Service
Representative at 1 (800) 759-2744.
