ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
Warranty service is available only through Snapper
Authorized Service Dealers. This warranty covers only
defects in materials or workmanship. It does not cover
damage caused by improper use or abuse, improper
maintenance or repair, normal wear and tear, or stale or
unapproved fuel.
Improper Use and Abuse - The proper, intended use of
this product is described in the Operator's Manual. Using
the product in a way not described in the Operator's Manual
or using the product after it has been damaged will not be
covered under this warranty. Warranty coverage will also
not be provided if the serial number on the product has been
removed or the product has been altered or modified in any
way, or if the product has evidence of abuse such as impact
damage or water/chemical corrosion damage.
Improper Maintenance or Repair - This product must be
maintained according to the procedures and schedules
provided in the Operator's Manual, and serviced or repaired
using genuine Briggs & Stratton parts or equivalent. Damage
caused by lack of maintenance or use of non-original parts is
not covered by warranty.
Normal Wear and Tear - Like most mechanical devices,
your unit is subject to wear even when properly maintained.
This warranty does not cover repairs when normal use has
exhausted the life of a part or the equipment. Maintenance
and wear items such as filters, belts, cutting blades, and
brake pads (except engine brake pads) are not covered by
warranty due to wear characteristics alone, unless the cause
is due to defects in material or workmanship.
Stale or Unapproved Fuel - In order to function correctly,
this product requires fresh fuel that conforms to the criteria
specified in the Operator's Manual. Engine or equipment
damage caused by stale fuel or the use of unapproved
fuels (such as E15 or E85 ethanol blends) is not covered by
warranty.
Other Exclusions - This warranty excludes damage due
to accident, abuse, modifications, alterations, improper
servicing, freezing or chemical deterioration. Attachments
or accessories that were not originally packaged with the
product are also excluded. There is no warranty coverage on
