YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS: The U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agency and Sears
Brands Management Corporation,
U.S.A., are pleased to explain the
emissions control system warranty on
your year 2010 and later small off-
road engine. Sears must warrant the
emission control system on your small
off-road engine for the periods of time
listed below provided there has been
no abuse, neglect, or improper mainte-
nance of your small off-road engine.
Your emission control system includes
parts such as the carburetor, the igni-
tion 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
warranty include diagnosis, parts and
labor. MANUFACTURER'S WARRAN-
TY COVERAGE: If any emissions re-
lated part on your engine (as listed un-
der Emissions Control Warranty Parts
List) is defective or a defect in the ma-
terials or workmanship of the engine
causes the failure of such an emission
related part, the part will be repaired or
replaced 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 warranty
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 warran-
ty coverage if your small off-road engine
or a part of it has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance, unap-
proved modifications, or the use of parts
not made or approved by the original
equipment manufacturer. You are re-
sponsible for presenting your small off-
road engine to a Sears authorized re-
pair center as soon as a problem
exists. 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 your nearest au-
thorized service center, call Sears at
1-800-469-4663, or send e-mail corre-
spondence to emission.warranty@
HCOP-emission.com. WARRANTY
COMMENCEMENT DATE: The war-
ranty period begins on the date the
small off-road engine is purchased.
LENGTH OF COVERAGE: This war-
ranty shall be for a period of two years
from the initial date of purchase, or until
the end of the product warranty (which-
ever is longer). WHAT IS COVERED:
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF
PARTS. Repair or replacement of any
warranted part will be performed at no
charge to the owner at an approved
Sears Service Center. If you have any
questions regarding your warranty rights
and responsibilities, you should con-
tact your nearest authorized service
center, call Sears at 1-800-469-4663,
or send e-mail correspondence to
emission.warranty@HCOP- emission.
corn. WARRANTY PERIOD: Any war-
ranted part which is not scheduled for
replacement as required maintenance,
or which is scheduled only for regular
inspection to the effect of "repair or re-
place as necessary" shall be warranted
for 2 years. Any warranted part which is
scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance shall be warranted for the
period of time up to the first scheduled
replacement point for that part.
DIAGNOSIS: The owner shall not be
charged for diagnostic labor which
leads to the determination that a war-
ranted part is defective if the diagnos-
tic work is performed at an approved
Sears Service Center. CONSEQUEN-
TIAL DAMAGES: Sears may be liable
for damages to other engine compo-
nents caused by the failure of a war-
ranted part still under warranty. WHAT
IS NOT COVERED: All failures caused
by abuse, neglect, or improper mainte-
nance are not covered. ADD-ON OR
MODIFIED PARTS: The use of add-
on or modified parts can be grounds
for disallowing a warranty claim. Sears
is not liable to cover failures of war-
ranted parts caused by the use of
add-on or modified parts.
