and supplied by the OEM. Contact the original
equipm ent manufacturer for speci fic service
information on non-Briggs & Stratton exhaust
systems.
CAUTION:
When replacing exhaust system
components, replacement parts must be the
same as originally specified by the OEM. This
may include some mounting brackets and
hardware. Follow the procedures recommended
by the OEM for disassembly and assembly.
