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, or normal wear and tear, or stale or unapproved fuel
Improper Use and Abuse - The proper, intended use of the service parts, short block, or replacement engine is described in the Operator’s Manual or Repair Manual.
Using the product in a way not described in the Operator’s Manual or Repair 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 - The service parts, short block, or replacement engine must be maintained according to the procedures and schedules provided in
the Operator’s Manual or Repair 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 - Like most mechanical devices, the service parts, short block, or replacement engine is subject to wear even when properly maintained. This warranty does
not cover replacement or repairs when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment, unless the cause is due to defects in material or workmanship.
Stale or Unapproved Fuels - In order to function correctly, short blocks and engines require 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.
