April 2012
LIMITED WARRANTY
Briggs & Stratton warrants that, during the warranty period specified below, it will repair or replace, free of charge, any part that is defective in
material or workmanship or both. Transportation charges on product submitted for repair or replacement under this warranty must be borne by
purchaser. This warranty is effective for and is subject to the time periods and conditions stated below. For warranty service, find the nearest
Authorized Service Dealer in our dealer locator map at BRIGGSandSTRATTON.com. The purchaser must contact the Authorized Service
Dealer, and then make the product available to the Authorized Service Dealer for inspection and testing.
There is no other express warranty. Implied warranties, including those of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose, are
limited to one year from purchase, or to the extent permitted by law
.
All other implied warranties are excluded.
Liability for incidental
or consequential damages are excluded to the extent exclusion is permitted by law.
Some states or countries do not allow limitations on
how long an implied warranty lasts, and some states or countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
so the above limitation and exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state or country to country.**
WARRANTY PERIOD
* Applies to Briggs & Stratton engines only. Warranty coverage of non-Briggs & Stratton engines is provided by that engine manufacturer.
** In Australia - Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement
or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods
repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. For warranty service, find the
nearest Authorized Service Dealer in our dealer locator map at BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM, or by calling 1300 274 447, or by emailing or writing
to [email protected], Briggs & Stratton Australia Pty Ltd, 1 Moorebank Avenue, NSW, Australia, 2170.
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 a product has experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter be
considered as a commercial use product 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.
ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being inconvenienced. Warranty service is available only through Briggs & Stratton
Authorized Service Dealers. 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 modified 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 filters, belts, cutting blades, and brake
pads (except engine brake pads) 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 specified in the Operator’s Manual. Damage
caused by stale fuel (carburetor leaks, clogged fuel tubes, sticking valves, etc) is not covered by warranty.
