BRIGGS & STRATTON POWER PRODUCTS GROUP, LLC PORTABLE GENERATOR OWNER WARRANTY POLICY
ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty
repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty service would not apply if equipment
damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, the warranty is void if the
manufacturing date or the serial number on the portable generator has been removed or the equipment has been altered or modified. During the warranty period,
the Authorized Service Dealer, at its option, will repair or replace any part that, upon examination, is found to be defective under normal use and service. This
warranty will not cover the following repairs and equipment:
•
Normal Wear:
Outdoor Power Equipment, like all mechanical devices, needs periodic parts and service to perform well. This warranty does not cover
repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment.
•
Installation and Maintenance:
This warranty does not apply to equipment or parts that have been subjected to improper or unauthorized installation or
alteration and modification, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading, overspeeding, improper maintenance, repair or storage so as, in our judgment, to
adversely affect its performance and reliability. This warranty also does not cover normal maintenance such as air filters, adjustments, fuel system cleaning
and obstruction (due to chemical, dirt, carbon, lime, and so forth).
•
Other Exclusions:
This warranty excludes wear items such as o-rings, filters, etc., or malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse, modifications,
alterations, or improper servicing or freezing or chemical deterioration. Accessory parts such as starting batteries, generator adapter cord sets and storage
covers are excluded from the product warranty. This warranty excludes used, reconditioned, and demonstration equipment, equipment used for prime
power in place of utility power, equipment used in life support applications, and failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the
manufacturers control. 198189E, Rev. D, 09/10/2012

There is no other express warranty. Implied warranties, including those of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to
one year from purchase, or to the extent permitted by law. All other implied warranties are excluded. Liability for incidental or consequential
damages are excluded to the extent exclusion is permitted by law.
Some states or countries do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, and some states or countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation and exclusion may
not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state or country to country.**

residential household use by a retail consumer. “Commercial Use” means all other uses, including use for commercial, income producing or rental purposes. Once
