** Engines used on Home Standby Generator applications are warranted under consumer use only. This warranty does not apply to engines on equipment

used for prime power in place of a utility. Engines used in competitive racing or on commercial or rental tracks are not warranted.

The warranty period begins on the date of purchase by the first retail consumer or commercial end user, and continues for the period of time

stated in the table above. “Consumer use” means personal residential household use by a retail consumer. “Commercial use” means all other

uses, including use for commercial, income producing or rental purposes. Once an engine has experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter

be considered as a commercial use engine for purposes of this warranty.

No warranty registration is necessary to obtain warranty on Briggs & Stratton Products. Save your proof of purchase receipt. If you

do not provide proof of the initial purchase date at the time warranty service is requested, the manufacturing date of the product will

be used to determine the warranty period.

ABOUT YOUR ENGINE WARRANTY

Briggs & Stratton welcomes warranty repair and apologizes to you for

being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform

warranty repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but

sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For

example, warranty would not apply if engine damage occurred

because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling,

warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, warranty is void i f the

serial number of the engine has been removed or the engine has

been altered or modified.

If a customer differs with the decision of the Service Dealer, an

investigation will be made to determine whether the warranty applies.

Ask the Service Dealer to submit all supporting facts to his Distributor

or the Factory for review. If the Distributor or the Factory decides that

the claim is justified, the customer will be fully reimbursed for those

items that are defective. To avoid misunderstanding which might

occur between the customer and the Dealer, listed below are some of

the causes of engine failure that the warranty does not cover.

Normal wear:

Engines, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts service and

replacement to perform well. Warranty will not cover repair when

normal use has exhausted the life of a part or an engine.

Improper maintenance:

The life of an engine depends upon the conditions under which i t

operates, and the care it receives. Some applications, such as tillers,

pumps and rotary mowers, are very often used in dusty or dirty

conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature wear.

Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, spark plug cleaning grit, or

other abrasive material that has entered the engine because of

improper maintenance, is not covered by warranty.

This warranty covers engine related defective material and/or

workmanship only

, and not replacement or refund of the equip-

ment to which the engine may be mounted. Nor does the warran-

ty extend to repairs required because of:

1 Problems caused by parts that are not original Briggs &

Stratton parts.

2 Equipment controls or installations that prevent starting, cause

unsatisfactory engine performance, or shorten engine life.

(Contact equipment manufacturer.)

3 Leaking carburetors, clogged fuel pipes, s ticking valves, or other

damage, caused by using contaminated or stale fuel.

4 Parts which are scored or broken because an engine was

operated with insufficient or contaminated lubricating oil, or an

incorrect grade of lubricating oil (check and refill when necessary,

and change at recommended intervals). OIL GARD may not shut

down running engine. Engine damage may occur if oil level is not

properly maintained.

5 Repair or adjustment of associated parts or assemblies such as

clutches, transmissions, remote controls, etc., which are not

manufactured by Briggs & Stratton.

6 Damage or wear to parts caused by dirt, which entered the

engine because of improper air c leaner maintenance,

re-assembly, or use of a non-original air cleaner element or

cartridge. At recommended intervals, clean and/or replace the

filter as stated in the Operator’s Manual.

7 Parts damaged by over-speeding, or overheating caused by

grass, debris, or dirt, which plugs or clogs the cooling fins, or

flywheel area, or damage caused by operating the engine in a

confined area without sufficient ventilation. Clean engine debris at

recommended intervals as stated in the Operator’s Manual.

8 Engine or equipment parts broken by excessive vibration caused

by a loose engine mounting, loose cutter blades, unbalanced

blades or loose or unbalanced impellers, improper attachment of

equipment to engine crankshaft, over-speeding or other abuse in

operation.

9 A bent or broken crankshaft, caused by striking a solid object with

the cutter blade of a rotary lawn mower, or excessive v-belt

tightness.

10 Routine tune -up or adjustment of the engine.

11 Engine or engine component failure, i.e., combustion chamber,

valves, valve seats, valve guides, or burned starter motor

windings, caused by the use of alternate fuels such as, liquified

petroleum, natural gas, altered gasolines, etc.
