HOMELITE CONSUMER PRODUCTS, INC., CALIFORNIA AND FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air
Resources Board (CARB), and Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., are
pleased to explain the Emissions Control System Warranty on your new
2013/2014 small off-road engine. In California, new equipment that
uses small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to
meet the state's stringent anti-smog standards. In other states, new
small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped at the
time of sale to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small off-road engines.
The small off-road engine must be free from defects in materials and
workmanship which cause it to fail to conform with U.S. EPA standards
for the first two years of engine use from the date of sale to the ulti-
mate purchaser. Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., must warrant the
emission control system on your small off-road engine for the period
of time listed above provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or
improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carbure-
tor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converters,
fuel tanks, valves, filters, clamps, connectors, and other associated
components. Also included may be hoses, belts and connectors, and
other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Homelite Consumer Products,
Inc., will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you, including
diagnosis, parts, and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE
This 1995 and later small off-road emissions control system is war-
ranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your engine is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Homelite Consumer
Products, Inc.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for
the performance of the required maintenance listed in your
operator's manual. Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., recom-
mends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your
small off-road engine, but Homelite Consumer Products, Inc.,
cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your
failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
(b) As the small off-road engine owner, you should be aware, however,
that Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., may deny you warranty cov-
erage if your small off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
(c) You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an
authorized service dealer 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 respon-
sibilities, you should contact a Homelite Consumer Products, Inc.,
Customer Representative at 1-800-242-4672.
DEFECT WARRANTY COVERAGE REqUIREMENTS
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment
is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage. Homelite Consumer Prod-
ucts, Inc., warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent
purchaser that your small off-road engine is designed, built, and
equipped at the time of sale to conform with all applicable regulations
adopted by the California Air Resources Board or the United States
Environmental Protection Agency; and that it is free from defects in
materials and workmanship which cause the engine to fail to con-
form with applicable regulations for a period of two years from the
date the small off-road engine is purchased by the initial purchaser.
WARRANTY
WARRANTY
Any replacement part or service that is equivalent in performance
and durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or repairs,
and shall not reduce the warranty obligations of Homelite Consumer
Products, Inc.
(c) The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as
follows: Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as
required in the Maintenance Schedule is warranted for two years. If any
such part (including any part that is scheduled only for regular inspec-
tion) fails during the period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired or
replaced at any HOMELITE
Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted
for the remaining warranty period. A statement to the effect of "repair
or replace as necessary" would not reduce the period of warranty
coverage. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the Maintenance Schedule is warranted for
the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that
part. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty is warranted
for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement
point, and will be repaired or replaced at any HOMELITE
Service Center for no charge until that replacement point is reached.
Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., shall remedy warranty defects at
any authorized HOMELITE
distribution center that may be franchised to service the subject en-
gines. Any diagnostic work done at a HOMELITE
Center shall be free of charge to the owner if such work determines
that a warranted part is defective. Any manufacturer-approved or
equivalent replacement part may be used for any warranty mainte-
nance or repairs on emission-related parts, and must be provided
free of charge to the owner if the part is still under warranty. Homelite
Consumer Products, Inc., is liable for damages to other engine com-
ponents caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty.
Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the California
Air Resource Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted
add-on or modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty
claim. Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., will not be liable to warrant
failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted
add-on or modified part.
The Emission Parts List specifically defines the emission-related
warranted parts. Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., will provide any
documents that describe its warranty procedures or policies within
five days upon request by the California Air Resources Board.
