YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board ("CARB") and
Sears Roebuck and Co., USA, are pleased to explain
the Emission Control System Warranty on your model
year 2000 and later small off-road engine (engine). In
California, new engines must be designed, built and
equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog
standards. 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 engine.
Your emission control system includes parts such as
the carburetor and the ignition system.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Sears will repair
your engine at no cost to you. Expenses covered
under under warranty include diagnosis, parts, and
labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage
The model year 2000 and later engines are warranted
for two years. If any emission related part on your
engine (as listed below) is defective, the part will be
repaired or replaced by Sears.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in this
owners manual. Sears recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your engine, but
Sears cannot deny warranty solely due for the lack of
receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance
of all scheduled maintenance.
As the engine owner, you should be aware that Sears
may deny you warranty coverage if your engine or a
part of it has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance, unapproved modifications, or the use of
parts not made or approved by the original equipment
manufacturer.
You are responsible for presenting your engine to a
Sears authorized repair center as soon as a problem
exists. 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 your
nearest authorized service center or call Sears at
1-800-473-7247.
Warranty Commencement Date
The warranty period begins on the date the engine is
delivered.
Length of Coverage
Sears warrants to the initial owner and each
subsequent purchaser that the engine is free from
defects in materials and workmanship which cause
the failure of a warranted part for a period of two
years.
