this warranty must be borne by purchaser. This warranty is
effective for the time periods and subject to the conditions stated
below. For warranty service, find the nearest Authorized Service
Dealer using our dealer locator at SimplicityMfg.com.
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. 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.

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 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 product has experienced
commercial use, it shall thereafter be considered as commercial
use 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 warranty eligibility.
ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being
inconvenienced. Warranty service is available only through
servicing dealers authorized by Briggs & Stratton or BSPPG,
LLC.
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 (engine brake pads are
covered) 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.
