**Engines used on Home Standby Generator applications are warranted under consumer use only.

This warranty does not apply to engines on

equipment used for prime power in place of a utility.

Engines used in competitive racing or on commercial or rental tracks are not warranted.

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 an

engine has experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter be considered as a commercial use engine 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.

Briggs & Stratton welcomes warranty repair and
apologizes to you for being inconvenienced. Any
Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty repairs.
Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but
sometimes requests for warranty service may not be
appropriate. For example, warranty would not apply if
engine damage occurred because of misuse, lack of
routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or
improper installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the
serial number of the engine has been removed or the
engine has been altered or modified.
If a customer differs with the decision of the Service
Dealer, an investigation will be made to determine
whether the warranty applies. Ask the Service Dealer to
submit all supporting facts to his Distributor or the Factory
for review. If the Distributor or the Factory decides that the
claim is justified, the customer will be fully reimbursed for
those items that are defective. To avoid misunderstanding
which might occur between the customer and the Dealer,
listed below are some of the causes of engine failure that
the warranty does not cover.

Normal wear:

Engines, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts
service and replacement to perform well. Warranty will not
cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a
part or an engine.

Improper maintenance:

The life of an engine depends upon the conditions under
which it operates, and the care it receives. Some
applications, such as tillers, pumps and rotary mowers,
are very often used in dusty or dirty conditions, which can
cause what appears to be premature wear. Such wear,

when caused by dirt, dust, spark plug cleaning grit, or
other abrasive material that has entered the engine
because of improper maintenance, is not covered by
warranty.

This warranty covers engine related defective
material and/or workmanship only, and not
replacement or refund of the equipment to which the
engine may be mounted. Nor does the warranty
extend to repairs required because of:

PROBLEMS CAUSED BY PARTS THAT ARE NOT
ORIGINAL BRIGGS & STRATTON PARTS.

Equipment controls or installations that prevent
starting, cause unsatisfactory engine performance,
or shorten engine life. (Contact equipment
manufacturer.)

Leaking carburetors, clogged fuel pipes, sticking
valves, or other damage, caused by using
contaminated or stale fuel.

Parts which are scored or broken because an engine
was operated with insufficient or contaminated
lubricating oil, or an incorrect grade of lubricating oil
(Check and refill when necessary, and change at
recommended intervals.) OIL GARD may not shut
down running engine. Engine damage may occur if
oil level is not properly maintained.

Repair or adjustment of associated parts or
assemblies such as clutches, transmissions, remote
controls, etc., which are not manufactured by Briggs
& Stratton.

Damage or wear to parts caused by dirt, which
entered the engine because of improper air cleaner
maintenance, re-assembly, or use of a non-original

air cleaner element or cartridge. At recommended
intervals, clean and/or replace the filter as stated in
the Operator’s Manual.

Parts damaged by over-speeding, or overheating
caused by grass, debris, or dirt, which plugs or clogs
the cooling fins, or flywheel area, or damage caused
by operating the engine in a confined area without
sufficient ventilation. Clean engine of debris at
recommended intervals as stated in the Operator’s
Manual.

Engine or equipment parts broken by excessive
vibration caused by a loose engine mounting, loose
cutter blades, unbalanced blades or loose or
unbalanced impellers, improper attachment of
equipment to engine crankshaft, over-speeding or
other abuse in operation.

A bent or broken crankshaft, caused by striking a
solid object with the cutter blade of a rotary lawn
mower, or excessive v-belt tightness.

10. Routine tune-up or adjustment of the engine.
11. Engine or engine component failure, i.e.,

combustion chamber, valves, valve seats, valve
guides, or burned starter motor windings, caused by
the use of alternate fuels such as, liquified
petroleum, natural gas, altered gasolines, etc.

Warranty service is available only through authorized
service dealers by Briggs & Stratton Corporation.
