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 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 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
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 or Unapproved Fuel - In order to function correctly, this
product requires fresh fuel that conforms to the criteria specified
in the Operator’s Manual. Engine or equipment damage caused
by stale fuel or the use of unapproved fuels (such as E15 or E85
ethanol blends) is not covered by warranty.
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.
