ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
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 modifi ed 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 fi lters, 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 specifi ed 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 & Stratton engines only. Warranty coverage of non-Briggs & Stratton engines is provided by the engine manufacturer.
