    YOU DO NOT PROVIDE PROOF OF THE INITIAL PURCHASE DATE AT THE TIME WARRANTY SERVICE IS REQUESTED, THE MANUFACTURING DATE OF THE

    							California, United States and Canada Emissions
    Control Defects Warranty Statement
    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 peri-
    ods 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 system, fuel line, muffler
    and catalytic converter. Also included may be connectors
    and other emissions related assemblies.
    Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your
    small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagno-
    sis, parts and labor.
    Briggs & Stratton Emissions Control
    Defects Warranty Coverage
    Small off-road engines are warranted relative to emis-
    sions control parts defects for a period of two years, sub-
    ject to provisions set forth below. If any covered part on
    your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or re-
    placed 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 rec-
    ommends that you retain all your receipts covering main-
    tenance on your small off-road engine, but B&S cannot
    deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your fail-
    ure to ensure the performance of all scheduled mainte-
    nance.
    As the small off-road engine owner, you should however
    be aware that B&S may deny you warranty 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 en-
    gine 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 ex-
    ceed 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 performance. The warranty
    is not related to an in-use emissions test.Briggs & Stratton Corporation (B&S),
    the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
    and the United States
    Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)
    Emissions Control System Warranty Statement
    (Owner’s Defect Warranty Rights and Obligations)The following are specific provisions relative to your

    gines found in the Operating and Maintenance Instruc-
    tions.1. Warranted Parts
    Coverage under this warranty extends only to the parts
    listed below (the emissions control systems parts) to the
    extent these parts were present on the engine purchased.
    a. Fuel Metering System
    •Cold start enrichment system (soft choke)
    •Carburetor and internal parts
    •Fuel Pump
    •Fuel line, fuel line fittings, clamps
    b. Air Induction System

    fects in materials and workmanship which caused the fail-
    ure of the Warranted Parts for a period of two years from
    the date the engine is delivered to a retail purchaser.
    3. No Charge
    Repair or replacement of any Warranted Part will be per-
    formed at no charge to the owner, including diagnostic la-
    bor which leads to the determination that a Warranted Part
    is defective, if the diagnostic work is performed at an Au-
    thorized B&S Service Dealer. For emissions warranty ser-
    vice contact your nearest Authorized B&S Service Dealer
    as listed in the Yellow Pages" under Engines, Gasoline,"

    visions of the B&S Engine Warranty Policy. Warranty cov-
    erage shall be excluded for failures of Warranted Parts
    which are not original B&S parts or because of abuse, ne-
    glect or improper maintenance as set forth in the B&S En-
    gine Warranty Policy. B&S is not liable to cover failures of
    Warranted Parts caused by the use of add-on, non-origi-
    nal, or modified parts.
    5. Maintenance
    Any Warranted Part which is not scheduled for replace-
    ment as required maintenance or which is scheduled only
    for regular inspection to the effect of repair or replace as
    necessary" shall be warranted as to defects for the warran-
    ty period. Any Warranted Part which is scheduled for
    replacement as required maintenance shall be warranted
    as to defects only for the period of time up to the first
    scheduled replacement for that part. Any replacement part
    that is equivalent in performance and durability may be
    used in the performance of any maintenance or repairs.
    The owner is responsible for the performance of all re-
    quired maintenance, as defined in the B&S Operating and
    Maintenance Instructions.
    6. Consequential Coverage
    Coverage hereunder shall extend to the failure of any en-
    gine components caused by the failure of any Warranted
    Part still under warranty.
    Briggs & Stratton Emissions Control
    Defects Warranty Provisions
    Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Re-
    sources Board (CARB) Tier 2 Emission Standards must
    display information regarding the Emissions Durability
    Period and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this in-
    formation available to the consumer on our emission la-
    bels. The engine emission label will indicate certification
    information.
    The Emissions Durability Period describes the number
    of hours of actual running time for which the engine is cer-
    tified to be emissions compliant, assuming proper mainte-
    nance 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. For example, a typical
    walk-behind lawn mower is used 20 to 25 hours per year.
    Therefore, the Emissions Durability Period of an en-
    gine with an intermediate rating would equate to 10 to 12
    years.
    Certain Briggs & Stratton engines will be certified to meet
    the United States Environmental Protection Agency
    (USEPA) Phase 2 emission standards. For Phase 2 certi-
    fied engines, the Emissions Compliance Period referred
    to on the Emissions Compliance label indicates the num-
    ber of operating hours for which the engine has been
    shown to meet Federal emission requirements.
    For engines less than 225 cc displacement.
    Category C = 125 hours
    Category B = 250 hours
    Category A = 500 hours
    For engines of 225 cc or more displacement.
    Category C = 250 hours
    Category B = 500 hours
    Category A = 1000 hoursLook For Relevant Emission
