California Emission Control Warranty Statement; Your Warranty Rights And Obligations - Ryobi 990r Operator's Manual

CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT

The California Air Resources Board and Ryobi Outdoor Products (ROP), are pleased to
explain the emission control system warranty on your 1995 and later lawn and garden
equipment engine. In California, new lawn and garden equipment engines must be
designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. ROP
must warrant the emission control system on your lawn and garden equipment engine for
the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper
maintenance of your lawn and garden equipment engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection
system, the ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts,
connectors and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, ROP will repair your lawn and garden equipment
engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
The 1995 and later utility and lawn and garden equipment engines are warranted for two
years. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or
replaced by ROP.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
• As the lawn and garden equipment engine owner, you are responsible for the perform-
ance of the required maintenance listed in your operator's manual. ROP recommends
that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your lawn and garden equipment
engine, but ROP cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure
to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
• As the lawn and garden equipment engine owner, you should however be aware that
ROP may deny you warranty coverage if your lawn and garden equipment engine
or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
• You are responsible for presenting your lawn and garden equipment engine to an Ryobi
Authorized 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
call 1-800-345-8746.

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
• The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to the
retail purchaser.
• The manufacturer warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent purchaser, that the
engine is free from defects in material and workmanship which cause the failure of a
warranted part for a period of two years.
• Repair or replacement of warranted part will be performed at no charge to the owner at
an Authorized Ryobi Service Center. For the nearest location, please contact Ryobi at:
1-800-345-8746.
• Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement, as required maintenance
which is scheduled only for regular inspection to the effect of "Repair or replace as nec-
essary" is warranted for the warranty period. Any warranted part which is scheduled for
replacement as required maintenance will be warranted for the period of time up to the
first scheduled replacement point for that part.
• The owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that
a warranted part is defective, if the diagnostic work is performed at an Authorized Ryobi
Service Center.
• The manufacturer is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the fail-
ure of a warranted part still under warranty.
• Failures caused by abuse, neglect or improper maintenance are not covered
under warranty.
• The use of add-on or modified parts can be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim.
The manufacturer is not liable to cover failures or warranted parts caused by the use of
add-on or modified parts.
• In order to file a claim, go to your nearest Authorized Ryobi Service Center. Warranty
services or repairs will be provided at all Authorized Ryobi Service Centers.
• Any manufacturer approved replacement part may be used in the performance of any
warranty maintenance or repair of emission related parts and will be provided without
charge to the owner. Any replacement part that is equivalent in performance or durabili-
ty may be used in non-warranty maintenance or repair and will not reduce the warranty
obligations of the manufacturer.
• The following components are included in the emission related warranty of the engine,
air filter, carburetor, primer, fuel lines, fuel pick up/fuel filter, ignition module, spark plug
and muffler.
