Briggs & Stratton Emissions Warranty
California, U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton, LLC Emissions Control Warranty - Your
Warranty Rights and Obligations
For Briggs & Stratton Engine Models with "B" or "G" Trim Designation
(Model-Type-Trim Representation xxxxxx xxxx Bx or xxxxxx xxxx Gx)
The California Air Resources Board, U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton (B&S) are pleased to
explain the exhaust emissions ("emissions") control system warranty on your 2021-2023
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 for
the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper
maintenance of your small off-road engine or equipment leading to the failure of the
emissions control system.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel-injection
system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel lines (for liquid fuel and fuel
vapors), fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, clamps and other associated components.
Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors, and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your engine at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
The exhaust emissions control system on your engine is warranted for two years. If any
emissions-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by
B&S.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
• As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in your owner's manual. B&S recommends that you
retain all receipts covering maintenance on your engine, but B&S cannot deny
warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled maintenance.
• As the engine owner, you should however be aware that B&S may deny you
warranty coverage if your engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or
improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
• You are responsible for presenting your engine to a B&S distribution center
or service center as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs shall
be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you
have a question regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should
contact B&S at 1-800-444-7774 (in USA) or BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM.
Briggs & Stratton Emissions Control Warranty Provisions
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emissions Control Warranty Coverage.
It is in addition to the B&S engine warranty for non-regulated engines found in the
Operator's Manual.
1. Warranted Emissions Parts
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 B&S engine.
a. Fuel Metering System
• Cold start enrichment system (soft choke)
• Carburetor or fuel injection system
• Oxygen sensor
• Electronic control unit
• Fuel pump module
b. Air Induction System
• Air cleaner
• Intake manifold
c. Ignition System
• Spark plug(s)
• Magneto ignition system
d. Catalyst System
• Catalytic converter
• Exhaust manifold
• Air injection system or pulse value
e. Miscellaneous Items Used in Above Systems
• Vacuum, temperature, position, time sensitive valves and switches
• Connectors and assemblies
• Electronic controls
2. Length of Coverage
Coverage is for a period of two years from the date of delivery to an ultimate purchaser,
or for the time period listed in the respective engine or product warranty statement,
whichever is greater. B&S warrants to the original purchaser and each subsequent
purchaser that the engine is designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all
applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board; that it is free from defects
in material and workmanship that could cause the failure of a warranted part; and
that it is identical in all material respects to the engine described in the manufacturer's
application for certification. The warranty period begins on the date the engine or
equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
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.
34
• 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 Operators'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

Udførelse af udledningskontrol
Ved vedligeholdelse, udskiftning eller reparation af
udledningskontrolenheder og systemer, skal du kontakte et kvalificeret
offroad-motorværksted eller en servicetekniker. For at få udført
udledningskontrolservice "uden beregning" skal arbejdet imidlertid udføres af en
autoriseret forhandler. Se erklæringer om udledningskontrol.
Karburator og motorhastighed
Foretag ikke justeringer af karburatoren eller motorhastigheden. Karburatoren er
fabriksindstillet til at virke tilfredsstillende under de fleste omstændigheder. Undlad
at ændre ved regulatorfjederen, forbindelser eller andre dele, der er med til at
øge motorens hastighed. Hvis der er behov for justering, så kontakt en autoriseret
serviceforhandler fra Briggs & Stratton for service.
