Control Defects Warranty
Statement
The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S. EPA and B&S are pleased to explain the Emission Control System Warranty on your
model year 2000 and later small off-road engine (SORE). In California, new small off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to
meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. Elsewhere in the United States, new non-road, spark-ignition engines certified for model
year 1997 and later, must meet similar standards set forth by the U.S. EPA. B&S must warrant the emission control system on your engine for
the periods of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.
Your emission control system includes parts such as the carburetor, air cleaner, ignition system, muffler and catalytic converter. Also
included may be connectors and other emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

Coverage
Small off-road engines are warranted relative to emission control parts defects for a period of two years, subject to provisions set forth
below. If any covered part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S.
Owner's
Warranty
Responsibilities
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance 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.
As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that B&S may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road
engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
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 responsibilities,
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.
