The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S. EPA and
Sears are pleased to explain the Emissions Control System
Warranty on your small off-road engine (SORE). In California,
new small off-road engines model year 2007 and later must be
designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-
smog standards.
Elsewhere in the United States, new non-road, spark-ignition
engines certified for model year 1997 and later must meet simi-
lar standards set forth by the U.S. EPA. Sears must warrant the
emissions control system on your engine for the periods of time
listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect or im-
proper maintenance of your small off-road engine.
Your emissions control system includes parts such as the carbu-
retor, air cleaner, ignition system, fuel line, muffler and catalytic
converter. Also included may be connectors and other emissions
related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Sears will repair your
small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts
and labor.
Small off-road engines are warranted relative to emissions control parts defects for a period of two years, subject to provisions set
forth below. If any covered part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Sears.
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in your Operatin-
g and Maintenance Instructions. Sears recommends that you
retain all your 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 however be
aware that Sears may deny you warranty coverage if your small
off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, im-
proper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to
an Authorized Sears Service Dealer as soon as a problem ex-
ists.
The undisputed 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
responsibilities, you should contact a Sears Service Representa-
tive at 1-800-469-4863.
The emissions warranty is a defects warranty. Defects are
judged on normal engine performance. The warranty is not re-
lated to an in-use emissions test.

engine warranty for non-regulated engines found in the Operating and Maintenance Instructions.

date the engine is delivered to a retail purchaser.
3. No Charge
Repair or replacement of any Warranted Part will be per-
formed at no charge to the owner, including diagnostic labor

rized Sears Service Dealer. For emissions warranty service

sions of the Sears Engine Warranty Policy. Warranty cover-
age shall be excluded for failures of Warranted Parts which

improper maintenance as set forth in the Sears Engine War-
ranty Policy. Sears is not liable to cover failures of Warranted
Parts caused by the use of add-on, non-original, or modified

5. Maintenance
Any Warranted Part which is not scheduled for replacement
as required maintenance or which is scheduled only for reg-
ular inspection to the effect of "repair or replace as neces-
sary" shall be warranted as to defects for the warranty peri-
od. Any Warranted Part which is scheduled for replacement
as required maintenance shall be warranted as to defects
only for the period of time up to the first scheduled replace-
ment for that part. Any replacement part that is equivalent in
performance and durability may be used in the performance
of any maintenance or repairs. The owner is responsible for
the performance of all required maintenance, as defined in
the Sears Operating and Maintenance Instructions.
6. Consequential Coverage
Coverage hereunder shall extend to the failure of any en-
gine components caused by the failure of any Warranted
Part still under warranty.
