modifications.
•
You are responsible for presenting your Lawn & Garden fuel tank to Sears distribution center or service center as soon as the problem exists.

in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have a question regarding your

Defects Warranty Requirements
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Evaporative Emissions Warranty Coverage. The fuel tank must be warranted to the ultimate purchaser and any subsequent owner
that the evaporative emission control system when installed was:
(1) Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations; and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship
that causes the failure of a warranted
part for a period of two years.
(c) The warranty on evaporative emissions-related
parts will be interpreted as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance
in the written instructions
must be warranted for the
warranty period defined in subsection (b)(2). If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it must be repaired or replaced
by Sears. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty must be warranted
for a time not less than the remaining warranty
period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions must be warranted for the warranty period defined in
subsection (b)(2).A statement in such written instructions to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" will not reduce the period of warranty
coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for a time not less than the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted
part that is scheduled
for replacement
as required maintenance
in the written instructions
must be warranted
for the
period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement
point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled
replacement,
the
part must be repaired or replaced by the Sears. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for a time not less
than the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement
point for the part.

of any warranted part under the warranty provisions of this article must be performed
at no charge to the owner

the provisions of subsection
(4) above, warranty services or repairs must be provided at distribution
centers that are
franchised to service the subject engines or equipment.
(6) The owner must not be charged for diagnostic
labor that leads to the determination
that a warranted
part is in fact defective, provided
that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.
(7) Throughout
the evaporative
emission control system's warranty period set out in subsection
(b)(2), Sears must maintain a supply of
warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts.
(8) Manufacturer approved replacement parts must be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and must be provided
without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations
of the manufacturer
issuing the warranty.
(9) The use of any add-on or modified
parts will be grounds for disallowing
a warranty claim made in accordance
with this article. The
manufacturer
issuing the warranty will not be liable under this Article to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of an add-
on or modified part.
(10) Sears shall provide any documents that describe the warranty procedures or policies within five working days of request by the Air Resources Board.
