The U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton (Briggs & Stratton) are pleased to explain the
emissions control system warranty (Emissions Warranty) on your 2022-2024 and later
Engine / Equipment. In the U.S., new Engines must be designed, built, and equipped to
meet stringent emission standards.
This emission-related warranty includes components whose failure can increase an
engine's emissions of regulated pollutants.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
Briggs & Stratton warrants that the engine is free from defects in material and
workmanship, and is also designed, built, and equipped to conform to applicable
regulations under Section 213 of the Clean Air Act, from the time the engine is sold,
until the expiration of its warranty period as shown above to the original purchaser
and each subsequent purchaser so long as the Owner's Warranty Responsibilities are
followed.
This Emissions Warranty also applies to other engine components that are damaged
due to the failure of warranted emissions related components.
If a warrantable emissions related component on your engine is defective, the part
will be repaired or replaced by Briggs & Stratton at no cost to you, which includes
diagnosis, parts, and labor.
You can select a qualified repair shop or person to do maintenance, replace, or repair
emission control devices and systems with original or equivalent replacement parts.
However, warranty, recall and other services paid for by Briggs & Stratton must be
performed at an authorized Briggs & Stratton service center which will complete repairs
in a reasonable amount of time.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
• Warranty claims must be filed according to the Briggs & Stratton Warranty

• An engine can not be warrantable if subjected to abuse, misuse, neglect,
incorrect maintenance, modifications that are not approved, accidents, or by
acts of God.
• Obey all local laws, regulations, ordinances and operation requirements
• Obey all manufacturer provided installation specifications operation
instructions, and maintenance instructions in the Owner's Manual.
• Present your engine / equipment to a Briggs Stratton distribution center,

• For components not scheduled for maintenance that are repaired or replaced
by this warranty, the replacement parts will only be warranted for the remaining
warranty period.
• If a warrantable component is scheduled for maintenance within the warranty
period but fails before its first scheduled replacement, the component will
be repaired or replaced by Briggs Stratton at no charge to the owner. The
replacement component is only warranted until the originally scheduled
maintenance event.

• Add-on or modified parts that are not approved by the EPA can not be used.
The use of non-approved add-on or modified parts by the owner will be
grounds for disallowing a warranty claim including forfailures to otherwise
warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.
Small Stationary Engine Operating Limitations
Your stationary generator is powered by an Engine which is certified to the EPA
nonroad small spark ignition engine standards as referenced and recognized by
EPA "Stationary" Engine regulations. Your "generator" can be locally permitted
as an "Emergency" (or local equivalent) or "Non-Emergency" source. Emergency
Sources usually have less permitting limitations.
When installed and allowed as an "Emergency Stationary Engine," your engine
is eligible for operation for up to 100 hours in Non-Emergency conditions. Non-
Emergency conditions include maintenance and testing and up to 50 of these 100
hours can be in Non-Emergency Conditions as part of a financial arrangement if
the Non-Emergency operation is:
• Allowed in an "Area Source" (most homes and retail establishments qualify).
• Dispatched by the local balancing authority or local transmission and
distribution system operator.
• Intended to mitigate local transmission and/or distribution limitations to avert
possible voltage collapse or line overloads that could result in interruption of
power supply in a local area or region.
• Consistent with reliability, emergency operation or similar protocols NERC,
regional, state, public utility commission or local standards or guidelines.
• Directed to the facility itself or to support the local transmission and distribution
system.
• Identified and recorded to specified FERC, regional, state, public utility
commission or local standards or guidelines that are being obeyed for
dispatching the Emergency Stationary Engines. The local balancing authority
or local transmission and distribution system operator can keep these records
on behalf of the engine owner or operator.
Otherwise, Emergency Stationary Engines usually can not be used to supply power
to an electric grid or supply power as part of a financial arrangement such as peak
shaving, rate curtailment or optimization, interruptible rate programs, continuous base
load (constant power to utility grid or facility, co-generation (capture and use waste
heat), prime or contributory power more than the 50 hours per calendar year.
Emergency operation duration is unlimited and recognized when providing electrical
power during an emergency situation or when electric power from the local utility is
interrupted. Emergency Stationary Engines may not be the primary, default or only
source of power for a facility or sub system.
Your local electricity provider (co-operative, utility, municipality) may offer Non-
Emergency use guidance, operation and programs for participation.
THE OWNER OR OPERATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CORRECT OPERATION
OF THE STATIONARY ENGINE AND GENERATOR AND CAN BE LIABLE
FOR FEDERAL U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY OR LOCAL
PENALTIES FOR NON-COMPLIANT OPERATION. CONSULT AND FOLLOW LOCAL
PERMITTING AUTHORITIES AND REQUIREMENTS BEFORE ENGAGEMENT
OR OPERATION OF EMERGENCY STATIONARY ENGINES IN ANY FINANCIAL
ARRANGEMENT. YOU WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES FOR UNAUTHORIZED NON-
EMERGENCY OPERATION.
