Briggs & Stratton Emissions Warranty
California, U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton, LLC Emissions Control Warranty - Your
Warranty Rights and Obligations
For Briggs & Stratton Engine Models with "F" Trim Designation (Model-Type-Trim
Representation xxxxxx xxxx Fx)
The California Air Resources Board, U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton (B&S) are pleased
to explain the exhaust and evaporative emissions ("emissions") control system warranty
on your 2021-2023 engine. In California, new equipment that use small off-road engines
must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards.
B&S must warrant the emissions control system on your engine/equipment for the periods
of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance
of your small off-road engine or equipment leading to the failure of the emissions control
system.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel-injection
system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel lines (for liquid fuel and fuel
vapors), fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, clamps and other associated components.
Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors, and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your engine/equipment at no cost to
you including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
The exhaust and evaporative emissions control system on your engine/equipment is
warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part on your engine/equipment is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
• As the engine/equipment owner, you are responsible for the performance of
the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. B&S recommends that
you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your engine/equipment, but
B&S cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for your
failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
• As the engine/equipment owner, you should however be aware that B&S may
deny you warranty coverage if your engine/equipment or a part has failed due
to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
• You are responsible for presenting your engine/equipment to a B&S distribution
center or service center as soon as the problem exists. The warranty
repairs shall be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30
days. If you have a question regarding your warranty rights
and responsibilities you should contact B&S at 1-800-444-7774 (in
USA) or BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM.

2. Length of Coverage
Coverage is for a period of two years from the date of delivery to an ultimatepurchaser,
or for the time period listed in the respective engine or product warranty statement,
whichever is greater. B&S warrants to the original purchaser and each subsequent
purchaser that the engine is designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all
applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board; that it is free from defects
in material and workmanship that could cause the failure of a warranted part; and
that it is identical in all material respects to the engine described in the manufacturer's
application for certification. The warranty period begins on the date the engine or
equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
• Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the Operator's Manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty
period stated above. If any such part fails during the period of warranty
coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S at no charge to
the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty will
be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the
Operator's Manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty period stated above.
Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the
remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance
in the Operator's Manual supplied, is warranted for the period of time prior to
the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first
scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S at
no charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty
will be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled
replacement point for the part.
• Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board
may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modified parts by
the owner will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer
will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a
non-exempted add-on or modified part.
3. Consequential Coverage
Coverage shall extend to the failure of any engine components caused by the failure of
any warranted emissions parts.
4. Claims and Coverage Exclusions
Warranty claims shall be filed according to the provisions of the B&S enginewarranty
policy. Warranty coverage does not apply to failures of emissions parts that are not
original equipment B&S parts or to parts that fail due to abuse,neglect, or improper
maintenance as set forth in the B&S engine warranty policy. B&S is not liable for warranty
coverage of failures of emissions parts caused by the use of add-on or modified parts.
Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period and
Air Index Information On Your Small Off-Road Engine
Emissions Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) small off-road
Emissions Standard must display information regarding the Emissions Durability Period
and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this information available to the consumer on
our emissions labels. The engine emissions label will indicate certification information.
The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running time
for which the engine is certified to be emissions compliant, assuming proper maintenance
in accordance with the Operator's Manual. The following categories are used:
Moderate:
Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified to be emissions compliant for 50
hours of actual engine running time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are certified
to be emissions compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time.
Intermediate:
Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified to be emissions compliant for 125
hours of actual engine running time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are certified
to be emissions compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running time.
Extended:
Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified to be emissions compliant for 300
hours of actual engine running time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are certified
to be emissions compliant for 500 hours of actual engine running time.
For example, a typical walk-behind lawn mower is used 20 to 25 hours per year. Therefore,
the Emissions Durability Period of an engine with an intermediate rating would equate
to 10 to 12 years.
Briggs & Stratton engines are certified to meet the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 or Phase 3 emissions standards. The Emissions Compliance
Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance label indicates the number of operating
hours for which the engine has been shown to meet Federal emissions requirements.
For engines at or less than 80 cc displacement:
Category C = 50 hours, Category B = 125 hours, Category A = 300 hours
For engines greater than 80 cc displacement and less than 225 cc displacement:
Category C = 125 hours, Category B = 250 hours, Category A = 500 hours
For engines of 225 cc or more displacement:
Category C = 250 hours, Category B = 500 hours, Category A = 1000 hours
