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 not be
covered under this warranty. Warranty coverage will also
not be provided 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 or non-
equivalent parts is not covered by warranty.
Normal Wear and Tear
- Like all mechanical devices, the
unit is subject to wear even when properly maintained. This
warranty does not cover replacement or repairs when normal
use has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment. Except
as noted in the warranty period, 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 or Unapproved Fuel
- In order to function correctly,
this product requires fresh fuel that conforms to the criteria
specified in the Operator's Manual. Engine or equipment
damage caused by stale fuel or the use of unapproved
fuels (such as E15 or E85 ethanol blends) 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. This warranty does not include
used, reconditioned, second-hand, or demonstration
equipment or engines. This warranty also excludes failures
due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond
the manufacturer's control.
