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 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 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 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 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
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 performance. The warranty is not
related to an in–use emissions test.
