Creating Your Company’s  

First Pro User Account

To begin using the EnergyTrak Mobile 
App as a Pro, you will need to create your 
company’s first Pro user account: a Pro 
Admin. For improved security, creating your 
first Pro Admin account is controlled by 
Briggs & Stratton.

In order to create your first Pro Admin account, contact Briggs 
& Stratton at 800-759-2744 or 

[email protected]

.

This manual step is only required to create your first Pro Admin account. You will then be able to use 
that account to create additional Pro Admin users and Pro Technician users (more information on user 
types in the below section titled EnergyTrak for Pros). Once your Pro Admin account has been created, 
you will receive instructions via email for logging in to your account on the EnergyTrak app.

Getting Started with 

EnergyTrak for Pros

initial step well
