YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS: The U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agency/California
Air Resources Board and Sears, Roe-
buck and Co., U.S.A., are pleased to
explain the emissions control system
warranty on your year 2009 and later
small off-road engine. In California, all
small off-road engines must be de-
signed, built, and equipped to meet the
State's stringent anti-smog standards.
Sears must warrant the emission con-
trol system on your small off-road en-
gine for the periods of time listed below
provided there has been no abuse, ne-
glect, or improper maintenance of your
small off-road engine. Your emission
control system includes parts such as
the carburetor, the ignition system and
the fuel tank. Where a warrantable
condition exists, Sears will repair your
small off-road engine at no cost to
you. Expenses covered under warran-
ty include diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY
COVERAGE: If any emissions related
part on your engine (as listed under
Emissions Control Warranty Parts List)
is defective or a defect in the materials
or workmanship of the engine causes
the failure of such an emission related
part, the part will be repaired or re-
placed by Sears. OWNER'S WAR-
RANTY RESPONSIBILITIES: As the
small off-road engine owner, you are
responsible for the performance of the
required maintenance listed in your op-
erator's manual. Sears recommends
that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your small off-road
engine, but Sears cannot deny warran-
ty solely for the lack of receipts or for
your failure to ensure the performance
of all scheduled maintenance. As the
small off-road engine owner, you
should be aware that Sears may deny
you warranty coverage if your small
off-road engine or a part of it has
failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance, unapproved modifica-
tions, or the use of parts not made or
approved by the original equipment
manufacturer. You are responsible for
presenting your small off-road engine
to a Sears authorized repair center as
soon as a problem exists. Warranty
repairs should be completed in a rea-
sonable amount of time, not to exceed
30 days. If you have any questions
regarding your warranty rights and re-
sponsibilities, you should contact your
nearest authorized service center, call
Sears at 1-800-469-4663, or send
e-mail correspondence to emission.
