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 engine warranty 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
24
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
