of receipts or for your failure to ensure
the performance of all scheduled mainte-
nance. As the lawn and garden equip-
ment engine owner, you should be
aware that Sears may deny you warran-
ty coverage if your lawn and garden
equipment engine or a part of it has
failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance, unapproved modifications,
or the use of parts not made or ap-
proved by the original equipment
manufacturer. You are responsible for
presenting your lawn and garden equip-
ment engine to a Sears authorized repair
center as soon as a problem exists.

a reasonable amount of time, not to ex-
ceed 30 days. If you have any ques-
tions regarding your warranty rights and
responsibilities, you should contact your
