ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
Warranty service is available only through Snapper Authorized Service Dealers. This warranty
covers only 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 not be covered under this warranty. Warranty coverage will also not
be provided 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 or equivalent. Damage caused by lack of maintenance or use of non-original parts is
not covered by warranty.
Normal Wear and Tear - Like most 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 (except engine brake pads) are not covered by warranty due to wear characteristics
alone, unless the cause is due to defects in material or workmanship.
Other Exclusions - This warranty excludes damage due to accident, abuse, modifications,
alterations, improper servicing, freezing or chemical deterioration. Attachments or accessories that
were not originally packaged with the product are also excluded. There is no warranty coverage
on equipment used for primary power in place of utility power or on equipment used in life support
applications. This warranty does not include used, reconditioned, second-hand, or demonstration
equipment or engines. This warranty also excludes failures due to acts of God and other force
majeure events beyond the manufacturer’s control.
