BRIGGS & STRATTON POWER PRODUCTS GROUP, L.L.C. OWNER WARRANTY POLICY

LIMITED WARRANTY

Briggs & Stratton Power Products Group, LLC will repair and/or replace, free of charge, any part(s) of the equipment that is 
defective in material or workmanship or both. Briggs & Stratton Corporation will repair and/or replace, free of charge, any 
part(s) of the Briggs and Stratton engine* (if equipped) that is defective in material or workmanship or both. Transportation 
charges on product submitted for repair or replacement under this warranty must be borne by purchaser. This warranty is 
effective for the time periods and subject to the conditions stated below. For warranty service, find the nearest Authorized 
Service Dealer using our dealer locator at www.murray.com.

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. 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.

WARRANTY PERIOD

The warranty period begins on the date of purchase by the first retail consumer or commercial end user, and continues for the 
period of time stated above. “Consumer use” means personal residential household use by a retail consumer. “Commercial 
use” means all other uses, including use for commercial, income producing or rental purposes. Once product has experienced 
commercial use, it shall thereafter be considered as commercial use for purposes of this warranty.

No warranty registration is necessary to obtain warranty on Briggs & Stratton products. Save your proof of purchase receipt. If you 
do not provide proof of the initial purchase date at the time warranty service is requested, the manufacturing date of the product will 
be used to determine warranty eligibility.

ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY

We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being inconvenienced. Warranty service is available only through servicing 
dealers authorized by Briggs & Stratton or BSPPG, LLC. 

Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. This warranty 
only covers 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 void your warranty. Warranty is 
not allowed 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. Damage caused by lack of maintenance or use 
of non-original parts is not covered by warranty.

Normal Wear

 - Like all 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 (engine brake pads are covered) are not covered by warranty due to wear characteristics 
alone, unless the cause is due to defects in material or workmanship.

Stale Fuel 

- In order to function correctly, this product requires fresh fuel that conforms to the criteria specified in the Operator’s 

Manual. Damage caused by stale fuel (carburetor leaks, clogged fuel tubes, sticking valves, etc) is not covered by warranty.

* Applies to Briggs and Stratton engines only. Warranty coverage of non-Briggs and Stratton engines is provided by the engine manufacturer.
