Corporation Emissions Control Warranty
Statement - Your Warranty Rights and
Obligations
For Briggs & Stratton Engine Models with "F" Trim
Designation (Model-Type-Trim Representation xxxxxx xxxx
Fx)
The California Air Resources Board, U.S. EPA, and Briggs &
Stratton (B&S) are pleased to explain the emissions control
system warranty on your Model Year 2016-2018 engine. In
California, new small off-road engines and large spark ignited
engines less than or equal to 1.0 liter must be designed, built,
and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards.
B&S must warrant the emissions control system on your
engine/equipment for the periods of time listed below provided
there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of
your engine/equipment.
Your exhaust emissions control system may include parts such
as the carburetor or fuel injection system, ignition system, and
catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts,
connectors, sensors, and other emissions-related assemblies.
Your evaporative emission control system may include parts
such as: carburetors, fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps, valves,
canisters, filters, vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, and other
associated components.
Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your
engine/equipment at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts,
and labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
Small off-road engines and large spark ignited engines less
than or equal to 1.0 liter, and any related emissions components
of the equipment, are warranted for two years, or for the time
period listed in the respective engine or product warranty
statement, whichever is greater. If any emissions-related part
on your B&S engine/equipment is defective, the part will be
repaired or replaced by B&S.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
• As the engine/equipment owner, you are responsible for
the performance of the required maintenance listed in your
Operator's Manual. B&S recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your engine/equipment,
but B&S cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts
or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
• As the engine/equipment owner, you should however be
aware that B&S may deny you warranty coverage if your
engine/equipment or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect,
improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
• You are responsible for presenting your engine/equipment
to a B&S distribution center, servicing dealer, or other
equivalent entity, as applicable, as soon as a problem exists.
The 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 B&S at 1-800-444-7774 (in USA) or
BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM.
