Emissions Control System Warranty Statement (Owner’s Defect Warranty Rights and Obligations)

The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S. EPA and B&S are pleased to explain the
Emissions Control System Warranty on your  small off-road engine (SORE). In California,  new
small off-road engines model year  2006 and later must be designed, built and equipped to meet
the State’s stringent anti-smog standards.

Elsewhere in the United States, new non-road, spark-ignition engines certified for model year
1997 and later must meet similar standards set forth by the U.S. EPA. B&S must warrant the

emissions control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below, provided there has
been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.
Your emissions control system includes parts such as the carburetor, air cleaner, ignition sys-
tem, fuel line, muffler and catalytic converter. Also included may be connectors and other emis-
sions related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts and labor.

Briggs & Stratton Emissions Control Defects Warranty Coverage

Small off-road engines are warranted relative to emissions control parts defects for a period of two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If any covered part on your engine is defective, the part will
be repaired or replaced by B&S.

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities

As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in your Operating and Maintenance Instructions. B&S recommends that you
retain all your receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but B&S cannot
deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.

As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that B&S may deny you war-
ranty coverage if your small off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an Authorized B&S 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 Service Representative at 1-414-259-5262.
The emissions warranty is a defects warranty. Defects are judged on normal engine perfor-
mance. The warranty is not related to an in-use emissions test.

Look For Relevant Emission Durability Period and Air

Index Information On Your Engine Emission Label

Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Tier 2 Emission
Standards must display information regarding the Emissions Durability Period and the Air Index.
Briggs & Stratton makes this information available to the consumer on our emission labels.
The 

Emission Durability Period 

describes the number of hours of actual running time for which the

engine is certified to be emission compliant, assuming proper maintenance in accordance with the
Operating & Maintenance Instructions. The following categories are used:

Moderate:

Engine is certified to be emission compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time.

Intermediate:

Engine is certified to be emission compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running time.

Extended:

Engine is certified to be emission compliant for 500 hours of actual engine running time.
