JOHN DEERE CONSUMER PRODUCTS LIMITED WARRANTY FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and John Deere Consumer Products are pleased to
explain the Emission Control System Warranty on your nonroad or small off-road engine. In California, new small off-road engines must be designed,
built and equipped to meet the state's stringent anti-smog standards. In other states, new 1997 and later model year nonroad engines must be
designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small nonroad engines. The nonroad engine must be free from
defects in materials and workmanship which cause it to fail to conform with U.S. EPA standards for the first two years of engine use from the date of
sale to the ultimate purchaser. John Deere Consumer Products must warrant the emission control system on your nonroad or small off-road engine
for the period of time listed above provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your nonroad or small off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, the catalytic converter. Also
included may be hoses, belts, and connectors and other emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, John Deere Consumer Products will repair your nonroad or small off-road engine at no cost to you, including
diagnosis (if the diagnostic work is performed at an authorized dealer), parts, and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
The 1995 and later small off-road engines are warranted for two years in California. In other states, 1997 and later model year nonroad
engines are also warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by John Deere
Consumer Products, Inc. free of charge.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) As the nonroad or small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of required maintenance listed in your owner's manual.
John Deere Consumer Products recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your nonroad or small off-road engine, but
John Deere Consumer Products, cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance. Any replacement part or service that is equivalent in performance and durability may be used in non-warranty
maintenance or repairs, and shall not reduce the warranty obligations of the engine manufacturer.
(b) As the nonroad or small off-road engine owner, you should be aware, however, that John Deere Consumer Products, may deny you warranty
coverage if your nonroad or small off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifica-
tions.
(c) You are responsible for presenting your nonroad or small off-road engine to a John Deere Consumer Products, service center as soon as a
problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact a John Deere Consumer Products, Customer
Representative at 1-800-537-8233.
COVERAGE:
John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that your nonroad or small off-road engine
will be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet all applicable regulations. John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. also warrants to the
initial purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that your nonroad or small off-road engine is free from defects in materials and workmanship which
cause the engine to fail to conform with applicable regulations for a period of two years.
The 1995 and later small off-road engines are warranted for two years in California. If all other states for 1997 and later model years, EPA requires
manufacturers to warrant non-road engines for two years. These warranty periods will begin on the date the nonroad or small off-road engine is
purchased by the initial purchaser. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be replaced by John Deere Consumer
Products, Inc. at no cost to the owner.
John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. shall remedy warranty defects at any authorized John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. engine dealer or
warranty station. Any authorized work done at an authorized dealer or warranty station shall be free of charge to the owner if such work determines
that a warranted part is defective. Any manufacturer-approved or equivalent replacement part may be used for any warranty maintenance or repairs
on emission-related parts, and must be provided free of charge to the owner if the part is still under warranty. John Deere Consumer Products, Inc.
is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty.
The California Air Resources Board's Emission Warranty Parts List specifically defines the emission-related warranted parts. (EPA's regulations do
not include a parts list, but EPA considers emission-related warranted parts to include all the parts listed below.)
These warranted parts are: Carburetor, Spark Plug, Ignition, Air Filter and Fuel Filter.
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The owner is responsible for the performance of the required maintenance as defined by John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. in the owner's manual.
LIMITATIONS

(a) repair of replacement required because of misuse or neglect, lack of required maintenance, repairs improperly performed or replacements not
conforming to John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. specifications that adversely affect performance and/or durability, and alterations or
modifications not recommended or approved in writing by John Deere Consumer Products, Inc., and
(b) replacement of parts and other services and adjustments necessary for required maintenance at and after the first scheduled replacement
