FAQs

What is the purpose of the safety alert symbol and the warning terms in this manual?

The safety alert symbol indicates messages involving personal safety. The manual explains that danger, warning, and caution indicate the degree of hazard, and that death or injury/property damage can occur if instructions are not followed.

Why must you not run the engine in an enclosed area?

The manual warns that exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, described as an odorless and deadly poison. Running in enclosed spaces can therefore cause serious harm.

When can emission control repairs be performed to receive no-charge service under the warranty?

The manual states that to obtain no-charge repairs under Briggs & Stratton warranty terms, service or emission control part repair or replacement must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.
