EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY COVERAGE IS APPLICABLE TO CERTIFIED ENGINES PURCHASED IN CALIFORNIA IN 1995 AND THERE-

AFTER, WHICH ARE USED IN CALIFORNIA, AND TO CERTIFIED MODEL YEAR 1997 AND LATER ENGINES WHICH ARE PURCHASED AND

USED ELSEWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES (AND AFTER JANUARY 1, 2001 IN CANADA).

/!    (    &!  !!  )/"  1  &

The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S.

EPA and B&S are pleased to explain the Emission

Control System Warranty on your model year

2002 and later small off-road engine (SORE). In

California, new small off-road engines must be de-

signed, built and equipped to meet the State’s

stringent anti-smog standards.

Elsewhere in the United States, new non-road,

spark-ignition engines certified for model year

1997 and later must meet similar standards set

forth by the U.S. EPA. B&S must warrant the emis-

sion control system on your engine for the periods

of time listed below, provided there has been no

abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your

small off-road engine.

Your emission control system includes parts

such as the carburetor, air cleaner, ignition sys-

tem, muffler and catalytic converter. Also in-

cluded may be connectors and other emission

related assemblies.

Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will

repair your small off-road engine at no cost to

you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

    !  &!  !!  )/"  1  !0

Small off-road engines are warranted relative to emission control parts defects for a period of two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If any

covered part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S.

 #3  1  '!4

As the small off-road engine owner, you are re-

sponsible for the performance of the required

maintenance listed in your Operating and Main-

tenance Instructions. B&S recommends that

you retain all your receipts covering mainte-

nance on your small off-road engine, but B&S

cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of re-

ceipts or for your failure to ensure the perfor-

mance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the small off-road engine owner, you should

however be aware that B&S may deny you war-

ranty coverage if your small off-road engine or a

part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper

maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small

off-road engine to an Authorized B&S Service

Dealer as soon as a problem exists.

The undisputed warranty repairs should be

completed in a reasonable amount of time, not

to exceed 30 days.

If you have any questions regarding your war-

ranty rights and responsibilities, you should con-

tact a B&S Service Representative at

1-414-259-5262.

The emission warranty is a defects warranty.

Defects are judged on normal engine perfor-

mance. The warranty is not related to an in-use

emission test.

    !  &!  !!  )/"  1  !0!

The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control Defects Warranty Coverage. It is in addition to the B&S engine warranty for non-

regulated engines found in the Operating and Maintenance Instructions.

1. Warranted Parts

Coverage under this warranty extends only

to the parts listed below (the emission con-

trol systems parts) to the extent these parts

were present on the engine purchased.

a. Fuel Metering System

Cold start enrichment system

Carburetor and internal parts

Fuel Pump

b. Air Induction System

Air cleaner

Intake manifold

c. Ignition System

Spark plug(s)

Magneto ignition system

d. Catalyst System

Catalytic converter

Exhaust manifold

Air injection system, Pulse valve

e. Miscellaneous Items

Vacuum, temperature, position,

time sensitive valves

and switches

Connectors and assemblies

2. Length of Coverage

B&S warrants to the initial owner and each

subsequent purchaser that the Warranted

Parts shall be free from defects in materials

and workmanship which caused the failure

of the Warranted Parts for a period of two

years from the date the engine is delivered to

a retail purchaser.

3. No Charge

Repair or replacement of any Warranted

Part will be performed at no charge to the

owner, including diagnostic labor which

leads to the determination that a Warranted

Part is defective, if the diagnostic work is

performed at an Authorized B&S Service

Dealer. For emissions warranty service

contact your nearest Authorized B&S Ser-

vice Dealer as listed in the “Yellow Pages”

under “Engines, Gasoline,” “Gasoline En-

gines,” “Lawn Mowers,” or similar category.

4. Claims and Coverage Exclusions

Warranty claims shall be filed in accordance

with the provisions of the B&S Engine War-

ranty Policy. Warranty coverage shall be ex-

cluded for failures of Warranted Parts which

are not original B&S parts or because of

abuse, neglect or improper maintenance as

set forth in the B&S Engine Warranty Policy.

B&S is not liable to cover failures of War-

ranted Parts caused by the use of add-on,

non-original, or modified parts.

5. Maintenance

Any Warranted Part which is not scheduled

for replacement as required maintenance or

which is scheduled only for regular inspec-

tion to the effect of “repair or replace as nec-

essary” shall be warranted as to defects for

the warranty period. Any Warranted Part

which is scheduled for replacement as re-

quired maintenance shall be warranted as to

defects only for the period of time up to the

first scheduled replacement for that part. Any

replacement part that is equivalent in perfor-

mance and durability may be used in the per-

formance of any maintenance or repairs.

The owner is responsible for the perfor-

mance of all required maintenance, as de-

fined in the B&S Operating and Maintenance

Instructions.

6. Consequential Coverage

Coverage hereunder shall extend to the fail-

ure of any engine components caused by

the failure of any Warranted Part still under

warranty.
