Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. This warranty
only covers defects in materials or workmanship. It does not cover damage caused by improper use or abuse, improper
maintenance or repair, normal wear and tear, or stale or unapproved fuel.
Improper Use and Abuse - The proper, intended use d this product is described in the Operator's Manual. Using the product in
a way not described in the Operator's Manual or using the product after it has been damaged will void your warranty. Warranty is
not allowed if the serial number on the product has been removed or the product has been altered or modified in any way, or if the
product has evidence of abuse such as impact damage, or water/chemical corrosion damage.

1737660 Rev B

Effective November 2008
The California Air Resources Board, U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton (B&S)
are pleased to explain the emissions control system warranty on your Model
Year 2008 and later engine/equipment.
In California, new small off-road engines
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/
equipment for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse,
neglect, or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or
fuel injection system, fuel tank, ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also
included may be hoses, belts, connectors, sensors, and other emissions-related
assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your engine/
equipment at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Manufacturer's
Warranty Coverage:
Small off-road engines are warranted for two years. If any emissions-related
part
on your engine/equipment
is defective, the part wil! be repaired or replaced by
B&S.

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 onty to the parts listed below (the
emissions control systems parts) to the extent these parts were present on
the engine purchased.
a.
Fue! Metering System
Cold start enrichment system (soft choke)
Carburetor and internal parts
Fuel pump
Fuel line, fuel line fittings, clamps
Fuel tank, cap and tether
Carbon canister
b.

Air Induction System
Air cleaner
Intake manifold
Purge and vent line
Ignition System
Spark plug(s)
Magneto ignition system
Catalyst System
Catalytic converter
Exhaust manifold
Air injection system or pulse valve
Miscellaneous Items Used in Above Systems
Vacuum, temperature, position, time sensitive valves and
switches
Connectors and assemblies

2. Length of Coverage
For a period of two years from date of original purchase, 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 is originally purchased.

Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
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 Operating & Maintenance Instructions.
The following categories are used:
Moderate:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant
for 125 hours of actual engine running time.
Intermediate:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant
for 250 hours of actual engine running time.
Extended:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant
for 500 hours of actual engine running time.

Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
* As the small engine/equipment
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/equipment,
but B&S
cannot deny warranty solely for the tack of receipts or your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled maintenance.
* As the engine/equipment
owner, you should however be aware that B&S may
deny you warranty coverage if your engine/equipment
or a part has failed due to
abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
* You are responsible for presenting your engine/equipment
to a B&S distribution
center, servicing dealer, or other equivalent entity, as applicable, as soon as a
problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed 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 B&S at (414) 259-5262.

The warranty on emissions-related
parts is as follows:
Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the owner'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
owner'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 owner'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 wilt 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

caused by

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.

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 emissions standards. For Phase 2 certified
engines, 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.

EnginePower Rating information
*The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordancewith SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code
J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with
SAEJ1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torquevalues are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected 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 issuesapplicable 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. Dueto manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this
Series engine.
