LIMITED WARRANTY
April 2012
Briggs & Stratton warrants that, during the warranty period
specified below, it will repair or replace, free of charge, any part
that is defective in material or workmanship or both.
Transportation charges on product submitted for repair or
replacement under this warranty must be borne by purchaser.
This warranty is effective for and is subject to the time periods
and conditions stated below. For warranty service, find the
nearest Authorized Service Dealer in our dealer locator map at
CanadianaProducts.ca. The purchaser must contact the
Authorized Service Dealer, and then make the product available
to the Authorized Service Dealer for inspection and testing.
There is no other express warranty. Implied warranties,
including those of merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose, are limited to one year from purchase,
or to the extent permitted by law. All other implied
warranties are excluded. Liability for incidental or
consequential 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 do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation
and exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you
specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state or country to country.**

The warranty period begins on the date of purchase by the first
retail consumer or commercial end user, and continues for the
period of time stated in the table above. “Consumer use” means
personal residential household use by a retail consumer.
“Commercial use” means all other uses, including use for
commercial, income producing or rental purposes. Once product
has experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter be
considered as a commercial use product for purposes of this
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
the warranty period.
ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being
inconvenienced. Warranty service is available only through
Canadiana Authorized Service Dealers. 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 or equivalent. 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 (except engine brake pads)
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.
Other Exclusions - This warranty excludes damage due to
accident, abuse, modifications, alterations, improper servicing,
freezing or chemical deterioration. Attachments or accessories
that were not originally packaged with the product are also
excluded. There is no warranty coverage on equipment used for
primary power in place of utility power or on equipment used in
life support applications. This warranty also excludes failures
due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the
manufacturer’s control.
