General Information
The U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton (B&S) are pleased
to explain the emissions control system warranty on your
Model Year 2018 - 2020 and later engine / equipment. In the
U.S., new Emergency Standby Engines must be designed,
built, and equipped to meet stringent emission standards.
Engines less than 25 Hp must meet requirements of 40 CFR
Part 1054. Engines greater than 25 Hp and less than 130
Hp must meet requirements of 40 CFR Part 60 JJJJ. B&S
must warrant the emissions control system on your engine /
equipment.
See Definition of appropriate use of Emergency Standby
below.
The emission-related warranty covers all components
whose failure would increase an engine’s non-evaporative
emissions of any regulated pollutant referenced below.
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.
This warranty applies to all emission related engine
components whose failure would cause engine exhaust
emissions to be out of EPA compliance. Further, this
warranty also applies to other engine components damaged
due to the failure of any of these emissions related
components.
If a warrantable emissions related component on your
engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by
B&S at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Warranty coverage period is five years from date of original
purchase, and is offered to the original purchaser and
each subsequent purchaser so long as Owner’s Warranty
Responsibilities are adhered to.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
• Warranty claims shall be filed according to the provisions
of the Briggs & Stratton Warranty Policy.

misuse, neglect, improper maintenance, unapproved
modifications, accidents not caused by Briggs & Stratton
engines or equipment, or by acts of God.
• Only those engines used as an Emergency Stationary
Engine, as defined below, are warrantable.
• Youare responsible for presenting your engine /
equipment to a B&S distribution center, servicing
dealer, or other equivalent entity, as applicable,

will be repaired or replaced by B&S at no charge to the
owner. Any such component is only warrantable until the
originally scheduled maintenance period has expired.
