California and United States Emission Control Warranty Statement
The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S. EPA and B&S are pleased to explain the Emission
Control System Warranty on your model year 2011 Non-road Compression-ignition engine. In California new
Non-road Compression-ignition engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent
anti-smog standards. Elsewhere in the United States, new Non-road Compression-ignition engines certified
for model year 2011, must meet similar standards set forth by the U.S. EPA. B&S must warrant the emission
control system on your engine for the period of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect
or improper maintenance of your Non-road Compression-ignition engine.
Your emission control system includes parts such as the fuel injection system and air induction system. Also
included may be hoses, connectors and other emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your Non-road Compression-ignition engine at no cost
to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Briggs & Stratton Corporation Emission Control Warranty Coverage
The 2011 Non-road Compression-ignition engines are warranted for a period of 1,500 hours or two years,
whichever occurs first, subject to provisions set forth below. If any emission-related part on your Non-road
Compression-ignition engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the Non-road Compression-ignition engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the
required maintenance listed in your Operating & Maintenance Instructions. B&S recommends that you retain
all your receipts covering maintenance on your Non-road Compression-ignition 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 Non-road Compression-ignition engine owner, you should however be aware that B&S may deny you
warranty coverage if your Non-road Compression-ignition engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect,
improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
Your engine is designed to operate on low sulfur or ultra low sulfur diesel fuel only. Use of any other fuel
may result in your engine no longer operating in compliance with California's emission requirements and
U.S. EPA's emission requirements.
You are responsible for initiating the warranty process. The Air Resources Board suggests that you present
your Non-road Compression-ignition engine to an Authorized B&S Service Dealer as soon as a problem
exists. The warranty repairs should be completed by the dealer 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 1-800-233-3723.

delivered to the ultimate purchaser.
3. No Charge
Repair or replacement of any Warranted Part will be performed at no charge to the owner, including
