ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
Warranty service is available only through Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealers. This 
warranty covers only 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 not be covered under this warranty. Warranty 
coverage will also not be provided if the serial number on the product has been removed or the 
product has been altered or modied 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 or equivalent. Damage caused by lack of maintenance or use of 
non-original parts is not covered by warranty.
Normal Wear and Tear - Like most 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 lters, 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.
Other Exclusions - This warranty excludes damage due to accident, abuse, modifications, 
alterations, improper servicing, freezing or chemical deterioration. Attachments or accessories 
that were not originally packaged with the product are also excluded. There is no warranty 
coverage on equipment used for primary power in place of utility power or on equipment used 
in life support applications. This warranty does not include used, reconditioned, second-hand, 
or demonstration equipment or engines. This warranty also excludes failures due to acts of God 
and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturer’s control.
