manufacturer's application for certification. The warranty
period begins on the date the engine is originally purchased.
The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
• Any warranted part that is not scheduled for
replacement as required maintenance in the Operator's
Manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty period
stated above. If any such part fails during the period of
warranty coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced
by B&S at no charge to the owner. Any such part
repaired or replaced under the warranty will be
warranted for the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular
inspection in the Operator's Manual supplied, is
warranted for the warranty period stated above. Any
such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be
warranted for the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement
as required maintenance in the Operator's Manual
supplied, is warranted for the period of time prior to the
first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the
part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the
part will be repaired or replaced by B&S at no charge
to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under
warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the
period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for
the part.
• Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the
Air Resources Board may not be used. The use of any
non-exempted add-on or modified parts by the owner
will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The
manufacturer will not be liable to warrant failures of
warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted
add-on or modified part.
3. Consequential Coverage
Coverage shall extend to the failure of any engine
components caused by the failure of any warranted
emissions parts.
4. Claims and Coverage Exclusions
Warranty claims shall be filed according to the provisions
of the B&S engine warranty policy. Warranty coverage does
not apply to failures of emissions parts that are not original
equipment B&S parts or to parts that fail due to abuse,
neglect, or improper maintenance as set forth in the B&S
engine warranty policy. B&S is not liable for warranty
coverage of failures of emissions parts caused by the use
of add-on or modified parts.
Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period
and Air Index Information On Your Small Off-Road
Engine Emissions Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources
Board (CARB) small off-road Emissions Standard must display
information regarding the Emissions Durability Period and the
Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this information available to
the consumer on our 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 Operator's Manual. The following categories
are used:
Moderate:
Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified to be
emissions compliant for 50 hours of actual engine running time.
Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are certified to be
emissions compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running
time.
Intermediate:
Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified to be
emissions compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running
time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are certified to
be emissions compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running
time.
Extended:
Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified to be
emissions compliant for 300 hours of actual engine running
time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are 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 or Phase
3 emissions standards. 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 at or less than 80 cc displacement:
Category C = 50 hours, Category B = 125 hours, Category A =
300 hours
For engines greater than 80 cc displacement and 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
