Within this period, Sears Canada, Inc. will, at its sole option, repair or replace any products 
or components which fail in normal use. Such repairs or replacement will be made at no 
charge to the customer for parts or labor, provided that the customer shall be responsible 
for any transportation cost.

 This warranty does not cover failures due to normal wear, abuse, misuse, 

neglect (including but not limited to the use of stale fuel, dirt, abrasives, moisture, rust, 
corrosion, or any adverse reaction due to improper storage or use habits), improper 
maintenance or failure to follow maintenance guidelines and/or instructions, failure to 
operate the product in accordance with the owner’s manual or any additional instructions 
or information provided at the time of purchase or in subsequent communications with

product missing the model and/or serial number identifi cation label will be disqualifi ed 
from coverage under this warranty.

REPAIRS:

 Repairs have a 90 day warranty. If the defective product is still within the 

Warranty Period, then the new warranty is 90 days from the date of repair or to the end of 
the original Warranty Period, whichever period is longer. 

DISCLAIMERS:

 THE WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES CONTAINED HEREIN ARE 

EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER ORAL OR 
WRITTEN (OTHER THAN AS STATED HEREIN), AND WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED

GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, WHICH MAY VARY FROM PROVINCE TO 
PROVINCE.

IN NO EVENT SHALL SEARS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT 
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER RESULTING FROM THE USE, MISUSE 
OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT OR FROM DEFECTS IN THE PRODUCT.   THE 
EXCLUSIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL NOT APPLY IN JURISDICATIONS WHERE 
APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL OR 
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.  IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL 
NOT APPLY, BUT THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT SHALL 
REMAIN VALID.

Sears retains the exclusive right to repair or replace the product or offer a full refund of 
the purchase price at its sole discretion. SUCH REMEDY SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND

MODEL NUMBER 110P02-0003-F4

BRIGGS & STRATTON 4-CYCLE ENGINE

Engine Power Rating Information

The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society 
of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating 
performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05). 
Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. Actual gross 
engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions 
and engine-to-engine variability. Given both the wide array of products on which engines are placed 
and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, the gas engine will 
not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment (actual “on-site” 
or net power). This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, accessories 
(air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambi-
ent operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to 
manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated 
power for this Series engine.
