Craftsman 580.752870 Manual Del Operador página 33

The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
• Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the Operator's Manual supplied, is
warranted for the warranty period stated above. If any such
part fails during the period of warranty coverage, the part will
be repaired or replaced by Sears at no charge to the owner.
Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty will be
warranted for the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular
inspection in the Operator's Manual 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.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the Operator's Manual supplied, is
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 will be repaired
or replaced by Sears at no charge to the owner. 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.
• Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air
Resources Board may not be used. The use of any non-
exempted add-on or modified parts by the owner will be
grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer
will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused
by the use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.
3. Consequential Coverage
Coverage shall extend to the failure of any engine components
caused by the failure of any warranted emissions parts.
4. Claims and Coverage Exclusions
Warranty claims shall be filed according to the provisions
of the Sears engine warranty policy. Warranty coverage
does not apply to failures of emissions parts that are not
original equipment Sears parts or to parts that fail due to
abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance as set forth in the
Sears engine warranty policy. Sears is not liable for warranty
coverage of failures of emissions parts caused by the use of
add-on or modified parts.
Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period and
Air Index Information On Your Small Off-Road Engine
Emissions Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) small off-road Emissions Standard must display information
regarding the Emissions Durability Period and the Air Index. Briggs
& Stratton makes this information available to the consumer on
our emissions labels. The engine emissions label will indicate
certification information.
The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of
actual running time for which the engine is certified to be emissions
compliant, assuming proper maintenance in accordance with the
Operator's Manual. The following categories are used:
Moderate: Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified
to be emissions compliant for 50 hours of actual engine running
time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are certified to be
emissions compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time.
Intermediate: Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are
certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hours of actual engine
running time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are certified
to be emissions compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running
time.
Extended: Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified
to be emissions compliant for 300 hours of actual engine running
time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are certified to be
emissions compliant for 500 hours of actual engine running time.
For example, a typical walk-behind lawn mower is used 20 to 25
hours per year. Therefore, the Emissions Durability Period of an
engine with an intermediate rating would equate to 10 to 12 years.
Engines are certified to meet the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 or Phase 3 emissions
standards. The Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the
Emissions Compliance label indicates the number of operating
hours for which the engine has been shown to meet Federal
emissions requirements.
For engines at or less than 80 cc displacement:
Category C = 50 hours, Category B = 125 hours, Category A = 300
hours
For engines greater than 80 cc displacement and less than 225 cc
displacement:
Category C = 125 hours, Category B = 250 hours, Category A = 500
hours
For engines of 225 cc or more displacement:
Category C = 250 hours, Category B = 500 hours, Category A =
1000 hours
