Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the per-
formance 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
mainte-
nance.
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 mainte-
nance 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 re-
sponsibilities,
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.

Length of Coverage
Sears warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent pur-
chaser that the Warranted Parts shall be free from defects in ma-
terials
and workmanship
which
caused the failure of the
Warranted Parts for a period of two years from the date the en-
gine is delivered to a retail purchaser.
3.
No Charge
Repair or replacement of any Warranted Part will be performed
at no charge to the owner, including diagnostic
labor which
leads to the determination that a Warranted Part is defective, if
the diagnostic work is performed at an Authorized Sears Ser-
vice Dealer. For emissions warranty service contact your near-
est Authorized
Sears Service Dealer as listed in the "Yellow
Pages" under "Engines, Gasoline," "Gasoline Engines," "Lawn
Mowers," or similar category.
4.
Claims and Coverage Exclusions
Warranty claims shall be filed in accordance with the provisions
of the Sears Engine Warranty Policy. Warranty coverage shall
be excluded for failures of Warranted Parts which are not origi-
nal Sears parts or because of abuse, neglect or improper main-
tenance as set forth in the Sears Engine Warranty Policy. Sears
is not liable to cover failures of Warranted Parts caused by the
use of add-on, non-original, or modified parts.
5.
Maintenance
Any Warranted Part which is not scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance or which is scheduled only for regular in-
spection to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" shall be
warranted as to defects for the warranty period. Any Warranted
Part which is scheduled for replacement as required mainte-
nance shall be warranted as to defects only for the period of time
up to the first scheduled replacement for that part. Any replace-
ment 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 mainte-
nance, as defined in the Sears Operating and Maintenance
Instructions.
6.
Consequential
Coverage
Coverage hereunder shall extend to the failure of any engine
components
caused by the failure of any Warranted Part still
under warranty.
