The warranty period begins on the original date of purchase by the first retail or commercial
consumer. "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 an engine has experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter
be considered as a commercial use engine for purposes of this warranty.
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 the warranty period. Product registration is not required
to obtain warranty service on Briggs & Stratton products.
