EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
California, U.S. EPA, and Sears Emissions
Control Warranty Statement
Your Warranty Rights And Obligations
The California Air Resources Board, U.S. EPA, and Sears
Brands Management Corporation, U.S.A. (Sears) are pleased
to explain the emissions control system warranty on your
Model Year 2011-2012 engine/equipment. In California, new
small off-road engines and large spark ignited engines less
than or equal to 1.0 liter must be designed, built, and
equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards.
Sears must warrant the emissions control system on your
engine/equipment for the periods of time listed below
provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper
maintenance of your engine or equipment.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as
the carburetor or fuel injection system, fuel tank, ignition
system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses,
belts, connectors, sensors, and other emissions-related
assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, Sears will
repair your engine/equipment at no cost to you including
diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
Small off-road engines and large spark ignited engines less
than or equal to 1.0 liter are warranted for two years. If any
emissions-related part on your engine/equipment is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Sears.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
• As the engine/equipment owner, you are responsible for
the performance of the required maintenance listed in
your owner's manual. Sears recommends that you
retain all receipts covering maintenance on your
engine/equipment, but Sears cannot deny warranty
solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure
the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
• As the engine/equipment owner, you should however
be aware that Sears may deny you warranty coverage if
your engine/equipment or a part has failed due to
abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved
modifications.
• You are responsible for presenting your
engine/equipment to a Sears distribution center,
servicing dealer, or other equivalent entity, as
applicable, as soon as a problem exists. The 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 Sears at (800) 469-4663.
In the USA and Canada, a 24-hour hotline, 1-800-469-4663, has a menu of pre-recorded messages offering you product maintenance
information.
