The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
• Any warranted part that is not scheduled for
replacement as required maintenance in the
owner’s manual supplied, is warranted for the
warranty period stated above. If any such part fails
during the period of warranty coverage, the part will
be repaired or replaced by B&S at no charge to the
owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under
the warranty will be warranted for the remaining
warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled only for
regular inspection in the owner’s manual supplied, is
warranted for the warranty period stated above. Any
such part repaired or replaced under warranty will
be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled for
replacement as required maintenance in the
owner’s manual supplied, is warranted for the period
of time prior to the first scheduled replacement
point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first
scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired
or replaced by B&S at no charge to the owner. Any
such part repaired or replaced under warranty will
be warranted for the remainder of the period prior
to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.
• Add on or modified parts that are not exempted by
the Air Resources Board may not be used. The use
of any non exempted add on or modified parts by
the owner will be grounds for disallowing a warranty
claim. The manufacturer will not be liable to warrant
failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a
non exempted add on or modified part.
3. consequential coverage
Coverage shall extend to the failure of any engine
components caused by the failure of any warranted
emissions parts.
4. claims and coverage exclusions
Warranty claims shall be filed according to the
provisions of the B&S engine warranty policy. Warranty
coverage does not apply to failures of emissions
parts that are not original equipment B&S parts or
to parts that fail due to abuse, neglect, or improper
maintenance as set forth in the B&S engine warranty
policy. B&S is not liable for warranty coverage of
failures of emissions parts caused by the use of add-on
or modified parts.
Look For Relevant emissions Durability Period and air
index information on your Small off-Road engine
emissions Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) small off-road Emissions Standard
must display information regarding the Emissions Durability
Period and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this
information available to the consumer on our emissions
labels. The engine emissions label will indicate certification
information.
The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of
hours of actual running time for which the engine is certified
to be emissions compliant, assuming proper maintenance in
accordance with the Operating & Maintenance Instructions.
The following categories are used:
Moderate :
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hours
of actual engine running time.
intermediate :
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 250 hours
of actual engine running time.
extended :
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 500 hours
of actual engine running time.
For example, a typical walk-behind lawn mower is used 20
to 25 hours per year. Therefore, the Emissions Durability
Period of an engine with an intermediate rating would
equate to 10 to 12 years. Briggs & Stratton engines are
certified to meet the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emissions standards. For Phase 2
certified engines, the Emissions Compliance Period referred
to on the Emissions Compliance label indicates the number
of operating hours for which the engine has been shown to
meet Federal emissions requirements.
For engines less than 225 cc displacement.
Category C = 125 hours
Category B = 250 hours
Category A = 500 hours
For engines of 225 cc or more displacement.
Category C = 250 hours
Category B = 500 hours
Category A = 1000 hours
