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.

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 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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

For engines 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 1737660 Rev B

EnginePower Rating information

*The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeledin accordancewith SAE(Society of Automotive Engineers) code

J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure),and rating performancehas beenobtained and corrected in accordance with

SAEJ1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torquevalues are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower valuesare derived at 3600 RPM. Actual gross en-

gine 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 equip-

ment, the gas enginewill not develop the rated gross powerwhen 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, car-

buretor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine

variability. Dueto manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton maysubstitute an engine of higher rated power for this

Series engine.
