The EPA and SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. are pleased
to explain the emission (where "emissions" is understood to mean both
exhaust and evaporative emissions) control system warranty on your 2011
model year and later small off-road engine (SORE). In USA, new SORE must
be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog
standards. SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. must warrant the
ECS on your SORE for the period of time listed below provided there has
been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your SORE.
Your ECS may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel-injection system, the
ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps, valves,
canisters, filters, vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, and other associated
emission-related components.
Where a warrantable condition exists, SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC
CO. LTD. will repair your SORE at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts
and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This emission (or emissions) control system is warranted for two years. If
any emission-related part on your equipment is defective, the part will be
repaired or replaced by SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the SORE owner, you are responsible for performance of the required
maintenance listed in your operator's manual. SUMEC MACHINERY &
ELECTRIC CO. LTD. recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your SORE, but SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO.
LTD. cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts.
As the SORE owner, you should however be aware that SUMEC MACHIN-
ERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. may deny you warranty coverage if your SORE
or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or
unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your SORE to an authorized SUMEC
MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. Servicing Center as soon as a problem
exists. The warranty repairs should be completed within a reasonable amount
of time not to exceed 30 days. If you have any questions regarding your
warranty coverage, contact Homelite Consumer Products, Inc. at 1-800-
242-4672 or write to the following address: Homelite Consumer Products,
Inc., 1428 Pearman Dairy Road, Anderson, SC 29625.
GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE:
SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. warrants to the ultimate pur-
chaser and each subsequent purchaser that the SORE is:
 Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regula-
tions; and
 Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure
of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to that part as
described in SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD.'s application
for certification.
The warranty period begins on the date the SORE is delivered to an ultimate
purchaser or first placed into service. The warranty period is two years.
Subject to certain conditions and exclusions as stated below, the warranty
on emission-related parts is as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the written instructions supplied, is warranted for the war-
ranty period stated above. If the part fails during the period of warranty
coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced by SUMEC MACHINERY
& ELECTRIC CO. LTD. According to subsection (4) below. Any such part
repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remainder of
the period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the
written instructions supplied is warranted for the warranty period stated
above. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted
for the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required main-
tenance in the written instructions supplied is warranted for the period of
time before the first scheduled replacement date for that part. If the part
fails before the first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or
replaced by SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. according to
subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty
will be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled
replacement point for the part.
