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 if 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 it 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.

6. Consequential Coverage

Coverage hereunder shall extend to the failure of any engine components caused by the failure of any Warranted Part st under warranty. Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air Index Information On Your Engine Emissions Label Engines that are cerfied to meet the Califomia Air Resources Board (CARB) Tier 2 Emissions Standard must display information regarding the Emissions Durabilty Period and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this information available to the consumer on our émissions labels. The engine emissions label wi indicate certification information. The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running time for which the engine is certed to be emissions compliant, assuming proper maintenance in accordance with the Operating & Maintenance Instructions. The folowing categories are used Moderate: Engine is cerified to be emissions compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time. Intermediate: Engine is certfied to be emissions compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running time.

Extended: Engine is cerified to be emissions compliant for 500 hours of actual engine running time. For example, a typical walk-behind laun 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. Certain Briggs & Stratton engines will be certfied to meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emissions standards. For Phase 2 certfied engines, the Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance label ndicates the number of operating hours for which the engine has been shoun to meet Federal emissions requirements. For engines less than 225 cc displacement. Category C = 125 hours , Category B = 250 hours , Category À = 500 hours For engines of 225 cc or more displacement. Category C = 250 hours , Category B = 500 hours , Category À = 1000 hours BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM

Use only genu- ine Briggs & Stratton parts. Engine Power Rating Information The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in ac- cordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. Actual gross engine power will be lower and is af- fected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to- engine variability. Given both the wide array of products on which engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating

the equipment, the gas engine will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment (actual “on-site” or net power). This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.
