Briggs & Stratton Corporation (B&S),

and the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)
Emissions Control System Warranty Statement
(Owner's Defect Warranty Rights and Obligations)
California, United States and Canada Emissions
Control Defects 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 stan-
dards. Elsewhere in the United States, new non-road, spark-igni-
tion 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 car-
buretor, air cleaner, ignition system, fuel line, muffler and cat-
alytic 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.
Briggs & Stratton Emissions Control
Defects Warranty Coverage
Small off-road engines are warranted relative to emissions
control parts defects for a period of two years, subject to provi-
sions set forth below. If any covered part on your engine is de-
fective, 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 perfor-
mance 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, im-
proper 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 Represen-
tative at 1-414-259-5262.
The emissions warranty is a defects warranty. Defects are
judged on normal engine performance. The warranty is not re-
lated to an in-use emissions test.

engine warranty for non-regulated engines found in the Opera-
ting and Maintenance Instructions.

Coverage under this warranty extends only to the parts
listed below (the emissions control systems parts) to the
extent these parts were present on the engine purchased.

B&S warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent
purchaser that the Warranted Parts shall be free from de-
fects in materials and workmanship which caused the fail-
ure 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 per-
formed at no charge to the owner, including diagnostic la-
bor which leads to the determination that a Warranted Part
is defective, if the diagnostic work is performed at an Autho-
rized 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 provi-
sions of the B&S Engine Warranty Policy. Warranty cover-
age 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 War-
ranty Policy. B&S is not liable to cover failures of Warranted
Parts caused by the use of add-on, non-original, or modi-
fied parts.
5. Maintenance
Any Warranted Part which is not scheduled for replace-
ment 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 warran-
ty 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 sched-
uled 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 mainte-
nance, as defined in the B&S Operating and Maintenance
Instructions.
6. Consequential Coverage
Coverage hereunder shall extend to the failure of any en-
gine components caused by the failure of any Warranted
Part still under warranty.

Look For Relevant Emissions
Durability Period and
Air Index Information On
Your Engine Emissions Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) Tier 2 Emissions Standards must
display information regarding the Emissions Durability
Period and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this
information available to the consumer on our emission
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.
Intermediate:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 250 hours
of actual engine running time.
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.
Certain Briggs & Stratton engines will be 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
