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.

emissions labels. The engine emissions label will indicate certification information.

The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running time

for which the engine is certified to be emissions compliant, assuming proper

maintenance in accordance with the Operating & Maintenance Instructions. The

following categories are used:

Moderate:

Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time.

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 (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.

failure of the Warranted Parts for a period of two years from the date the engine is

delivered to a retail purchaser.

3.

No Charge

Repair or replacement of any Warranted Part will be performed at no charge to the

owner, including diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a Warranted

Part is defective, if the diagnostic work is performed at an Authorized B&S Service

Dealer. For emissions warranty service contact your nearest Authorized B&S

Service Dealer as listed in the "Yellow Pages" under "Engines, Gasoline," "Gasoline

Engines," "Lawn Mowers," or similar category.

4.

Claims and Coverage Exclusions

Warranty claims shall be filed in accordance with the provisions of the B&S Engine

Warranty Policy. Warranty coverage shall be excluded for failures of Warranted

Parts which are not original B&S parts or because of abuse, neglect or improper

maintenance as set forth in the B&S Engine Warranty Policy. B&S is not liable to

cover failures of Warranted Parts caused by the use of add-on, non-original, or

modified parts.

5.

Maintenance

Any Warranted Part which is not scheduled for replacement as required

maintenance or which is scheduled only for regular inspection to the effect of "repair

or replace as necessary" shall be warranted as to defects for the warranty period.

Any Warranted Part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance

shall be warranted as to defects only for the period of time up to the first scheduled

replacement for that part. Any replacement part that is equivalent in performance

and durability may be used in the performance of any maintenance or repairs. The

owner is responsible for the performance of all required maintenance, as defined in

the B&S Operating and Maintenance Instructions.

6.

Consequential Coverage

Coverage hereunder shall extend to the failure of any engine components caused

by the failure of any Warranted Part still under warranty.

Extended:

Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 500 hours of actual engine running time.

For example, a typical walk-behind lawn mower is used 20 to 25 hours per year.

Therefore, the Emissions Durability Period of an engine with an intermediate rating

would equate to 10 to 12 years.

Briggs & Stratton engines are certified to meet the United States Environmental

Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emissions standards. For Phase 2 certified

engines, the Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance

label indicates the number of operating hours for which the engine has been shown to

meet Federal emissions requirements.

For engines less than 225 cc displacement.

Category C = 125 hours , Category B = 250 hours , Category A = 500 hours

For engines of 225 cc or more displacement.

Category C = 250 hours , Category B = 500 hours , Category A = 1000 hours
