CALIFORNIA & US EPA EMISSION
CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency
("EPA"), the California Air Resources Board
("CARB") and Sears, Roebuck and Co. are
pleased to explain the Federal and California
Emission Control Systems Warranty on your
new small off-road engine. In California, new
1995 and later small off-road engines must be
designed, built and equipped to meet the
State's stringent anti-smog standards. In oth-
er states, new 1997 and later model year en-
gines must be designed, built and equipped, at
the time of sale, to meet the U.S. EPA regula-
tions for small non-road engines. Sears, Roe-
buck and Co. will 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, unapproved mod-
ification, or improper maintenance of your
small off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include
parts such as the carburetor, ignition system
and exhaust system. Also included may be the
compression release system and other emis-
sion-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Sears,
Roebuck and Co. will repair your small off-
road engine at no cost to you for diagnosis,
parts and labor.

CONTROLSYSTEM WARRANTY
COVERAGE
Emission control systems on 1995 and later
model year California small off-road engines
are warranted for two years as hereinafter
noted. In other states, 1997 and later model
year engines are also warranted for two years.
If, during such warranty period, any emission-
related part on your engine is defective in ma-
terials or workmanship, the part will be
repaired or replaced by Sears, Roebuck and
Co.
OWNER'S WARRANTY
RESPONSIBILITIES
As the small off-road engine owner, you are
responsible for the performance of the re-
F-041084L
quired maintenance listed in your Owner's
Manual, but Sears, Roebuck and Co. will not
deny warranty solely due to the lack of receipts
or for your failure to provide written evidence
of the performance of all scheduled mainte-
nance.
As the small off-road engine owner, you
should, however, be aware that Sears, Roe-
buck and Co. may deny you warranty cover-
age if your small off-road engine or a part
thereof has failed due to abuse, neglect, im-
proper maintenance or unapproved modifica-
tions.
You are responsible for presenting your small
off-road engine to a Sears, Roebuck and Co.
Authorized Service Outlet as soon as a prob-
lem exists. The warranty repairs should be
completed in a reasonable amount of time, not
to exceed 30 days.
Warranty service can be arranged by contact-
ing either a Sears, Roebuck and Co. Autho-
rized Service Outlet, or by contacting Sears,
Roebuck and Co. at 1-800-473-7247.

tions with respect to your new engine.
