engine (SORE). In California, new small off-road engines
must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's

As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the per-
formance of the required maintenance listed in your Operating and
Maintenance Instructions. B&S recommends that you retain all your
receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but
B&S cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your
failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

that B&S may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road en-
gine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper mainte-
nance or unapproved modifications.

forth below. If any covered part on your engine is defective, the part
will be repaired or replaced by B&S.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an
Authorized B&S Service Dealer as soon as a problem exists. The
undisputed warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable
amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and re-
sponsibilities, you should contact a B&S Service Representative at
1-414-259-5262.
The emission warranty is a defects warranty. Defects are judged on
normal engine performance. The warranty is not related to an in-use
emission test.
3. No Charge
Repair or replacement of any Warranted Part will be performed
at no charge to the owner, including diagnostic labor which
leads to the determination that a Warranted Part is defective, if
the diagnostic work is performed at an Authorized B&S Service
Dealer. For emissions warranty service contact your nearest
Authorized B&S Service Dealer as listed in the "Yellow Pages"
under "Engines, Gasoline," "Gasoline Engines," "Lawn
Mowers," or similar category.

of the B&S Engine Warranty Policy. Warranty coverage shall be
excluded for failures of Warranted Parts which are not original
B&S parts or because of abuse, neglect or improper mainte-
nance as set forth in the B&S Engine Warranty Policy. B&S is
not liable to cover failures of Warranted Parts caused by the
use of add-on, non-original, or modified parts.
5. Maintenance
Any Warranted Part which is not scheduled for replacement as
re-quired maintenance or which is scheduled only for regular
inspec-tion to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary"
shall be warranted as to defects for the warranty period. Any
Warranted Part which is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance shall be warranted as to defects only for the
period of time up to the first scheduled replacement for that
part. Any replacement part that is equivalent in performance
and durability may be used in the performance of any
maintenance or repairs. The owner is responsible for the
performance of all required maintenance, as defined in the B&S
Operating and Maintenance Instructions.
6. Consequential Coverage
Coverage hereunder shall extend to the failure of any engine
components caused by the failure of any Warranted Part still
under warranty.
