There is no other express warranty. Implied warranties, including those of merchantability and ﬁ tness for a particular purpose, are

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

WARRANTY PERIOD

The warranty period begins on the date of purchase by the ﬁ rst 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 modiﬁ ed 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 ﬁ lters, 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 speciﬁ ed 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 & Stratton engines only. Warranty coverage of non-Briggs & Stratton engines is provided by the engine manufacturer.
