Emission Control System Warranty Statement (Owner's Defect Warranty
Rights and Obligations)
The California Air Resources Board
(CARB), U.S. EPA and Sears are pleased
to explain the Emission Control System
Warranty on your model year 2000 and
later small off-road engine (SORE). In
California, new small off-road engines
model year 2006 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
similar standards set forth by the U.S. EPA.
Sears must warrant the emission control
system on your engine for the periods of
time listed below, provided there has been
no abuse, neglect or improper
maintenance of your small off-road engine.
Your emission control system includes
parts such as the carburetor, air cleaner,
ignition system, fuel line, muffler and
catalytic converter. Also included may be
connectors and other emission 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.
Sears, Roebuck and Co. Emission Control Defects Warranty Coverage
Small off-road engines are warranted
relative to emission 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.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the small off-road engine owner, you
are responsible for the performance of
the required maintenance listed in your
Operating 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, improper 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 exists.
The undisputed 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 Sears Service
Representative at 1-800-469-4663.
The emission warranty is a defects
warranty. Defects are judged on normal
engine performance. The warranty is not
related to an in-use emission test.
