HOMELITE® LIMITED WARRANTY FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and HOMELITE® are pleased to explain the Emission
Control System Warranty on your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine. In California, new 1995 and later utility/lawn/garden equipment engines must be
designed, built and equipped to meet the state's stringent anti-smog standards. In other states, new 1997 and later model year utility/lawn/garden
equipment engines must be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines. The equipment
engine must be free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause it to fail to conform with U.S. EPA standards for the first two years of engine
use from the date of sale to the ultimate purchaser. HOMELITE® must warrant the emission control system on your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine
for the period of time listed above provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, the catalytic converter. Also included
may be hoses, bolts, and connectors and other emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, HOMELITE® will repair your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis (if the
diagnostic work is performed at an authorized dealer), parts, and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
The 1995 and later utility/lawn/garden equipment engines are warranted for two years in California. In other states, 1997 and later model year
utility/lawn/garden equipment engines are also warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired
or replaced by HOMELITE® free of charge.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) As the utility/lawn/garden equipment engine owner, you are responsible for the performance required maintenance listed in your owner's manual.
HOMELITE® recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine, but HOMELITE®
cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance. Any replacement
part or service that is equivalent in performance and durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or repairs, and shall not reduce the
warranty obligations of the engine manufacturer.
(b) As the utility/lawn/garden equipment engine owner, you should be aware, however, that HOMELITE® may deny you warranty coverage if your
utility/lawn/garden equipment engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
(c) You are responsible for presenting your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine to a HOMELITE® 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 contact a HOMELITE® Customer Representative at 1-704-588-
3200.
COVERAGE:
HOMELITE® warranty to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine will be designed, built and
equipped, at the time of sale, to meet all applicable regulations. HOMELITE® also warrants to the initial purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that
your utility/lawn/garden engine is free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the engine to fail to conform with applicable regulations for
a period of two years.
The 1995 and later utility/lawn/garden equipment engines are warranted for two years in California. If all other states for 1997 and later model years, EPA
requires manufacturers to warrant utility/lawn/garden equipment engines for two years. These warranty periods will begin on the date the utility/lawn/
garden equipment engine is purchased by the initial purchaser. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be replaced by
HOMELITE® at no cost to the owner.
HOMELITE® shall remedy warranty defects at any authorized HOMELITE® engine dealer or warranty station. Any authorized work done at an authorized
dealer or warranty station shall be free of charge to the owner if such work determines that a warranted part is defective. Any manufacturer-approved or
equivalent replacement part may be used for any warranty maintenance or repairs on emission-related parts, and must be provided free of charge to the
owner if the part is still under warranty. HOMELITE® is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part still under
warranty.
The California Air Resources Board's Emission Warranty Parts List specifically defines the emission-related warranted parts. (EPA's regulations do not
include a parts list, but EPA considers emission-related warranted parts to include all the parts listed below.)
These warranted parts are:
