STATEMENT:
The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency/Cali-
fornia Air Resources
Board and Sears,
Roebuck and Co., U.S.A., are pleased
to explain the emissions control system
warranty on your year 2000 and later
small off-road engine (SORE). In Cali-
fornia, all new small off-road engines
must be designed, built, and equipped
to meet the State's stringent anti-smog
standards.
Elsewhere in the United
States, new non-road,
spark-ignition
engines certified for model year 1997
and later, must meet similar standards
set forth by the U.S. EPA. Sears must
warrant the emission control system for
the periods of time listed below provided
there has been no abuse, neglect, or
improper maintenance
of your small off-
road engine engine. Your emission con-
trol system includes parts such as the
carburetor, air cleaner, ignition system,
muffler and catalytic converter. Also in-
cluded may be connectors and other
emissions-related
assemblies. Where a
warrantable
condition exists, Sears will
repair your small off-road engine en-
gine at no cost to you. Expenses cov-
ered under warranty include diagnosis,
parts and labor. MANUFACTURER'S
EMISSION CONTROL
DEFECTS
WARRANTY
COVERAGE:
Small off-
road engines are warranted relative to
emission control parts defects for a peri-
od of two years, subject to these provi-
sions. If any covered part on your en-
gine is defective, the part will be
repaired or replaced by Sears. OWN-
ER'S WARRANTY
RESPONSIBILI-
TIES: As the small off-road engine en-
gine owner, you are responsible for the
performance
of the required mainte-
nance listed in your operating and
maintenance
instructions. Sears recom-
mends that you retain all receipts cover-
ing maintenance
on your small off-road
engine, but Sears cannot deny warranty
solely for the lack of receipts or for your
failure to ensure the performance
of all
scheduled maintenance.
As the small
off-road
engine engine owner, however,
you should be aware that Sears may
deny you warranty coverage if your
small off-road engine or a part has
failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance
or unapproved
modifica-
tions. You are responsible for presenting
your small off-road engine to an ap-
proved Sears Service Center as soon
as a problem exists. The undisputed
warranty repairs should be completed in
a reasonable amount of time, not to ex-
ceed 30 days. If you have any ques-
tions regarding your warranty rights and
responsibilities, you should contact your
nearest approved service center or call
Sears Service at 1-800-469-4663.
The
emission warranty is a defects warranty.
Defects are judged on normal engine
performance. The warranty is not re-
lated to an in-use emission test.
