There is no other express warranty. Implied warranties, including those of merchantability and fitness for a particular

damages are excluded to the extent exclusion is permitted by law.
Some states or countries do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some states or countries

ABOUT YOUR 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 warranty eligibility.
We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being inconvenienced. Warranty service is available only through
servicing dealers authorized by Briggs & Stratton or BSPPG, LLC.
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 of 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.
Improper Maintenance or Repair
- This product must be maintained according to the procedures and schedules
provided in the Operator’s Manual, and serviced or repaired using genuine Briggs & Stratton parts. Damage caused by lack
of maintenance or use of non-original parts is not covered by warranty.
Normal Wear
- Like all mechanical devices, your unit is subject to wear even when properly maintained. This warranty
does not cover repairs when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment. Maintenance and wear items
such as filters, belts, cutting blades, and brake pads (engine brake pads are covered) are not covered by warranty due to
wear characteristics alone, unless the cause is due to defects in material or workmanship.
Stale Fuel
- In order to function correctly, this product requires fresh fuel that conforms to the criteria specified in the
Operator’s Manual. Damage caused by stale fuel (carburetor leaks, clogged fuel tubes, sticking valves, etc) is not covered
by warranty.
* Applies to Briggs and Stratton engines only. Warranty coverage of non-Briggs and Stratton engines is provided by the
engine manufacturer.
