California, U.S. EPA, and Sears Emissions
Control Warranty Statement
Your Warranty Rights And Obligations
The California Air Resources Board, U.S. EPA, and Sears
Brands Management Corporation, U.S.A. (Sears) are pleased
to explain the emissions control system warranty on your
Model Year 2014-2015 engine/equipment. In California,
new small off-road engines and large spark ignited engines
less than or equal to 1.0 liter must be designed, built, and
equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards.
B&S must warrant the emissions control system on your
engine/equipment for the periods of time listed below
provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper
maintenance of your engine/equipment.
Your exhaust emissions control system may include parts
such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, ignition
system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses,
belts, connectors, sensors, and other emissions-related
assemblies. Your evaporative emission control system may
include parts such as: carburetors, fuel tanks, fuel lines,
fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, vapor hoses, clamps,
connectors, and other associated components. Where a
warrantable condition exists, Sears will repair your engine/
equipment at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts, and
labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
Small off-road engines and large spark ignited engines
less than or equal to 1.0 liter, and any related emissions
components of the equipment, are warranted for two years*.
If any emissions-related part on your engine/equipment is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Sears.
* Two years or for the time period listed in the respective
engine or product warranty statement, whichever is
greater.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
• As the engine/equipment owner, you are responsible
for the performance of the required maintenance listed
in your Operator's Manual. Sears recommends that you
retain all receipts covering maintenance on your engine/
equipment, but Sears cannot deny warranty solely
for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled maintenance.
• As the engine/equipment owner, you should however
be aware that Sears may deny you warranty coverage
if your engine/equipment or a part has failed due to
abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved
modifications.
• You are responsible for presenting your engine/
equipment to a Sears distribution center, servicing
dealer, or other equivalent entity, as applicable, 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 Sears at (800) 469-4663 (in USA) or www.
