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 to the product if damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation.
Similarly, the warranty is void if the serial number on the product has been removed or the product has been altered or modified.
This warranty covers product related defective material and/or workmanship only. To avoid misunderstanding which might occur between the customer
and the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of product failure that the warranty does not cover.
•
Normal Wear:
Small Engine Powered Equipment, like all mechanical devices, needs periodic parts and service to perform well. Warranty does not
cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of the product or part.
•
Installation:
This warranty does not apply to product that has been subjected to improper or unauthorized installation, alteration or modification. Nor
installations that prevent starting, cause unsatisfactory engine performance.
•
Improper Maintenance:
The life of this product depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Recommended
maintenance and adjustment intervals are stated in the Operator’s Manual. Often product, such as tillers, edgers, rotary mowers, are used in dusty or
dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, or other abrasive material entering the
product because of improper maintenance is not covered by warranty. The warranty will not cover repairs due to problems caused by replacement
parts that are not original manufactured part(s).
•
Incorrect and/or insufficient fuel or lubrication:
This warranty does not cover damage caused by the use of stale fuel, or altered gasoline. Damage
to engine or engine components ie, combustion chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides, burned starter motor windings caused by use of alternate
fuels such as liquefied petroleum, natural gas, are not covered unless engine is certified for this operation. Parts which are scored or broken because
product was operated with insufficient, contaminated or incorrect grade of lubricating oil as well as product components damaged due to lack of
lubrication are not covered.
•
Operational Misuse:
Proper operation of the product is stated in the Operator’s Manual. Product damaged by over speeding, overheating, or
operation in a confined area without sufficient ventilation. Product broken by excessive vibration caused by a loose engine mounting, loose or
unbalanced blades, impellers, over speeding, or bent crankshaft due to striking of solid object. Damage or malfunctions resulting from accidents,
abuse, or improper servicing or freezing or chemical deterioration, as well as operating in excess of recommended capacities as outlined in the
Operator’s Manual are not covered.
•
Routine tune-up, wear items or adjustments:
This warranty excludes wear items such as oil, belts, blades, o-rings, filters, etc.
• Other exclusions: Repair or adjustments for part(s) that are not manufactured by Briggs & Stratton are not covered. This warranty excludes failures due
to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturers control. Also excluded are used, reconditioned, and demonstration products.
