SAFETY
WARNING WARNING
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock. Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation, or laceration.
WARNING
Starting engine creates sparking. Sparking can ignite nearby flammable gases. Explosion and fire could result. If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not start engine. Do not use pressurized starting fluids because vapors are flammable.
SAFETY
WARNING WARNING
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or death. Start and run engine outdoors. Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open.
Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories. Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result. Operate equipment with guards in place. Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts. Tie up long hair and remove jewelry. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or items that could become caught.
WARNING
WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler, become extremely hot. Severe thermal burns can occur on contact. Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire. Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching. Remove accumulated combustibles from muffler area and cylinder area. Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before using equipment on forest-covered, grass-covered, brush-covered unimproved land. The state of California requires this (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal land. Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result. When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly. Remove all external equipment/engine loads before starting engine. Direct coupled equipment components such as, but not limited to, blades, impellors, pulleys, sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.

About your engine warranty: (see next page for statement of LIMITED WARRANTY). Briggs & Stratton welcomes warranty repair and apologizes to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty would not apply if engine damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the serial number of the engine has been removed or the engine has been altered or modified. If a customer differs with the decision of the Service Dealer, an investigation will be made to determine whether the warranty applies. Ask the Service Dealer to submit all supporting facts to its Distributor or the Factory for review. If the Distributor or the Factory decides that the claim is justified, the customer will be fully reimbursed for those items that are defective. To avoid misunderstanding which might occur between the customer and the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of engine failure that the warranty does not cover. Normal wear: Engines, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts service and replacement to perform well. Warranty will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or an engine. Improper maintenance: The life of an engine depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Some applications, such as tillers, pumps and rotary mowers, are very often used in dusty or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, spark plug cleaning grit, or other abrasive material that has entered the engine because of improper maintenance, is not covered by warranty. This warranty covers engine related defective material and/or workmanship only, and not replacement or refund of the equipment to which the engine may be mounted. Nor does the warranty extend to repairs required because of: 1. PROBLEMS CAUSED BY PARTS THAT ARE NOT ORIGINAL BRIGGS & STRATTON PARTS. 2. Equipment controls or installations that prevent starting, cause unsatisfactory engine performance, or shorten engine life. (Contact equipment manufacturer.) 3. Leaking carburetors, clogged fuel pipes, sticking valves, or other damage, caused by using contaminated or stale fuel. (Use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline and Briggs & Stratton gasoline stabilizer, Part No. 5041.) 4. Parts which are scored or broken because an engine was operated with insufficient or contaminated lubricating oil, or an incorrect grade of lubricating oil. Refill when necessary; OIL GARD may not shut down running engine. Engine damage may occur if oil level is not properly maintained. Read the recommended maintenance intervals for your engine outlined in the Operating & Maintenance Instructions . 5. Repair or adjustment of associated parts or assemblies such as clutches, transmissions, remote controls, etc., which are not manufactured by Briggs & Stratton. 6. Damage or wear to parts caused by dirt, which entered the engine because of improper air cleaner maintenance, re-assembly, or use of a non-original air cleaner element or cartridge. Read the recommended maintenance intervals for your engine outlined in the Operating & Maintenance Instructions . 7. Parts damaged by overspeeding, or overheating caused by grass, debris, or dirt, which plugs or clogs the cooling fins, or flywheel area, or damage caused by operating the engine in a confined area without sufficient ventilation. Read the recommended maintenance intervals for your engine outlined in the Operating & Maintenance Instructions . 8. Engine or equipment parts broken by excessive vibration caused by a loose engine mounting, loose cutter blades, unbalanced blades or loose or unbalanced impellers, improper attachment of equipment to engine crankshaft, overspeeding or other abuse in operation. 9. A bent or broken crankshaft, caused by striking a solid object with the cutter blade of a rotary lawn mower, or excessive v-belt tightness. 10. Routine tune-up or adjustment of the engine. 11. Engine or engine component failure, i.e., combustion chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides, or burned starter motor windings, caused by the use of alternate fuels such as liquified petroleum, natural gas, altered gasolines, etc. Warranty is available only through service dealers which have been authorized by Briggs & Stratton Corporation. You may locate your nearest Authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer in our dealer locator map at www.briggsandstratton.com. Your nearest Authorized Service Dealer is also listed in the Yellow PagesE of your telephone directory under Engines, Gasoline or Gasoline Engines, Lawn Mowers, or similar category.
