Your Warranty Rights And Obligations
The California Air Resources Board, U.S. EPA, and Sears Brands
Management Corporation, U.S.A. (Sears) are pleased to explain
the emissions control system warranty on your Model Year 2014-
2015 engine/equipment. In California, new small off-road engines
and large spark ignited engines less than or equal to 1.0 liter must
be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent
anti-smog standards. B&S must warrant the emissions control
system on your engine/equipment for the periods of time listed
below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper
maintenance of your engine/equipment.
Your exhaust emissions control system may include parts such
as the carburetor or fuel injection system, ignition system, and
catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors,
sensors, and other emissions-related assemblies. Your evaporative
emission control system may include parts such as: carburetors,
fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, vapor
hoses, clamps, connectors, and other associated components.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Sears will repair your engine/
equipment at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
Small off-road engines and large spark ignited engines less than
or equal to 1.0 liter, and any related emissions components of the
equipment, are warranted for two years*. If any emissions-related
part on your engine/equipment is defective, the part will be repaired
or replaced by Sears.
* Two years or for the time period listed in the respective
engine or product warranty statement, whichever is greater.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
• As the engine/equipment owner, you are responsible for
the performance of the required maintenance listed in your
Operator's Manual. Sears recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your engine/equipment,
but Sears cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts
or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
• As the engine/equipment owner, you should however be
aware that Sears may deny you warranty coverage if your
engine/equipment or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect,
improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
• You are responsible for presenting your engine/equipment
to a Sears distribution center, servicing dealer, or other
equivalent entity, as applicable, 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 Sears at (800) 469-4663 (in USA) or
